Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Safety and Efficacy of H. pylori eradication treatment with Ganga water will be done by calculating the proportion of participants developing any adverse reaction and reaching H. pylori eradication, as per clinical and laboratory findings. 2. Detection of uncomplicated gastritis, ulcer, or metaplasia or dysplasia or frank cancer in histopathological examination (HPE) before and 2 weeks after Ganga water phage therapy.Timepoint: 2 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Frequency and severity of dyspeptic symptoms from baseline evaluated by GOS scale at the end of eradication treatment score ranges 0 – No Problem to 5 – Severe Problem) at the end of eradication treatment. 2. Health-related quality of life (HR-QoL): Evaluated by the administration of the 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36; score ranges 0 – worst possible health to 100 – best possible health) at the end of eradication treatment.Timepoint: 2 weeks
