Since real treatment is actually available, the control of new therapy should be decided if the treatment would happen later or if it should be first line treatment. The remaining ethical issue is whether to continue checking patients for Helicobacter pylori bacterium and if they are tested to be positive what should the patients be told. Peptic ulcer can lead into many deaths around the world.
