Аннотация

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori infection is a global health concern associated with gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. With increasing antibiotic resistance, egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) has emerged as a promising candidate owing to its stability and pathogen-neutralizing effects. This clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of IgY-enriched egg yolk powder (anti-H. pylori IgY) in eliminating the bacterium and improving clinical symptoms as an adjunctive.

METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind trial, 60 patients with confirmed H. pylori infection received a 14-day standard therapy regimen (omeprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin) supplemented with IgY-enriched egg yolk powder (intervention) or plain egg yolk powder (control). The primary outcome was bacterial eradication, assessed by the 14C-urea breath test performed 4 weeks after completion of therapy (i.e. 6 weeks from baseline). Secondary outcomes included symptom improvement (abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and anorexia) measured using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, via telephone interviews conducted three times weekly for 3 weeks. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and t-tests (SPSS v24).

RESULTS: Baseline demographic characteristics were homogeneous. The median urea breath test value in the intervention group decreased from 77 to 11, whereas that of the control group remained unchanged (median = 55). Bacterial eradication was achieved in 33.3% of IgY recipients versus 13.3% of controls (difference, 20%; P = .241). IgY was well tolerated, with no treatment-related adverse events observed in the intervention group.

CONCLUSION: Clinical symptoms showed trends toward faster improvement, but these did not reach statistical significance. IgY may be a promising safe adjunct for the treatment of H. pylori infection.
