Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with proven hyper-insulinismo, using drug treatment as a standard triple therapy (40 mg pantoprazole, clarithromycin 500 mg and amoxicillin 1 g twice daily for 10 days) on insulin resistance, with an interventional study with medicine, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of the study are: 1) compare the role of eradication on the endpoint to a possible primary role of antibiotics; 2) evaluate, with methods of proteomics, the plasma of patients enrolled to clarify the pathophysiology of insulin resistance; 3) assessing, metabolomics methods, the plasma of patients enrolled to clarify the pathophysiology of insulin resistance 4) assess the possible variation of the intestinal flora before and after drug treatment using genomic analysis of bacterial fecal sample; 5) whether the set of metabolic and inflammatory patients with proven hyper-insulinismo but negative to infection by Helicobacter pylori infection differs from the positive group and the group turned negative to infection as a result of eradication treatment. ;Primary end point(s): evaluate, with a prospective, double-blind,randomized, placebo-controlled study the effects of Helicobacter Pylori eradication on insulin resistance as well as the serum/plasma related markers.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days | — |
