Effectiveness of the Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori and an Inhibitor of Pump With Proton Versus Control

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Low dose of aspirin is the main cause of gastro-duodenal ulcer. The best prevention is not definite particularly in patients without history of ulcer and infected by H. pylori.The aim of the study is to evaluate the gastric damage induced by aspirin in patients with H. pylori infection but who have any history of ulcer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The aim of the study is to compare the protective effect of H. pylori eradication versus Pantoprazole versus placebo on the gastric damage induced by low dose of aspirin. Treatment are attributed by randomisation. Patients are followed for 6 months and gastric damage are evaluated by endoscopy at the end of this period.
