The test will be distributed through UAE-based partners and made available at pharmacies, clinics, and online platforms. H. pylori, classified as a Class 1 carcinogen by WHO, can lead to serious complications in up to 20% of infected individuals if untreated, including peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.

Biomerica announced the publication of its pivotal clinical trial results for the inFoods® IBS test in Gastroenterology journal. The randomized, multicenter, double-blind study involving 238 patients across eight U.S. academic centers demonstrated significant symptom improvement in IBS patients following a personalized elimination diet. The treatment group showed 59.6% of patients achieving FDA-defined abdominal pain reduction versus 42.2% in the control group. Notably, IBS-M patients showed remarkable improvement with 66% meeting treatment targets compared to 29.5% in controls. The test, which identifies specific foods triggering immune responses in IBS patients, showed particular promise for IBS-M patients, who represent 33% of the IBS market and currently lack FDA-approved drug treatments.

The company also launched a HIPAA-compliant real-time patient feedback system that enables physicians to track symptoms and adjust treatment plans accordingly. These results complement a peer-reviewed study published in Gastroenterology, which showed that patients on an inFoods® IBS-guided diet experienced significantly more abdominal pain relief compared to placebo (59.6% vs. 42.1%, p-value=0.02).

The solution targets a substantial market, as IBS affects 10-15% of U.S. adults, offering a personalized, non-drug approach to identify and eliminate specific food triggers causing IBS symptoms.
