Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In France, every year 1 million people are explored for Helicobacter pylori infection and 200,000 receive eradication treatment. Faced with the high prevalence of Hp resistance to antibiotics, the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) has recommended since 2017 a treatment strategy guided by the results of bacteriological tests (culture and antibiogram and / or PCR) carried out from gastric biopsies. Guided therapy is more effective, cheaper, and better tolerated than empiric therapy (it includes fewer antibiotics). But the guided treatment is not used despite the recommendations because of the invasive nature of the endoscopy, the difficulty of culture and the non-reimbursement of the PCR. A new non-invasive test by real-time PCR performed on the stools of patients makes it possible to detect the Hp infection and its sensitivity to clarithromycin and therefore to guide the treatment with excellent performance as we have been able to demonstrate during a study including 1200 patients (Pichon et al J Clin Microbiol 2020). These characteristics allow this test to be used in primary care but has to be evaluated.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PCR test in the stool

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients randomized to the "new strategy" arm will receive a prescription for an Hp serology and a stool self-collection kit . Only the result of the PCR test in the stool will be considered for this arm. A positive test will determine Hp infection and the indication for treatment.
