Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–65 - NCT07575295Recruiting
New technique for controlling bleeding during swallowing tube surgery

The study compares a newer underwater technique with the standard approach to see which works better at managing blood vessels during the procedure.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–65 - NCT07574970Recruiting
Preventing pancreatitis after endoscopic bile duct procedures
This study tests whether combining a rectal anti-inflammatory medication (indomethacin) with cold water cooling of the pancreas opening during an endoscopic procedure can better prevent pancreatitis—a painful inflammation of the pancreas—compared to medication alone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–60 - NCT07540637Recruiting
Study of how well patients take hepatitis B medication with app support
This study tests whether a smartphone app called HBVCare helps patients with chronic hepatitis B stick to their treatment plans. Researchers will track how well the app helps patients take their medicines on time and understand what makes treatment adherence easier or harder.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07486518Recruiting
Stomach precancer study with advanced endoscopy
This study uses high-definition endoscopy to look at early changes in the stomach lining that might lead to cancer. It aims to better understand these changes in people having a routine upper endoscopy for stomach-related symptoms.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 40 years+ - NCT07441824RecruitingPhase 3
Enzyme pills for severe pancreas damage
This trial tests if taking pancreatic enzyme pills can help people who have lost weight after a severe first-time pancreas attack with more than half of the organ damaged. It aims to see if the pills improve nutrition and recovery.
Guwahati, AssamAges 18–60 - NCT07431983Recruiting
IBUS vs colonoscopy and enterography for UC and CD
This study compares a newer, possibly greener imaging method (IBUS) with standard colonoscopy and enterography for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The goal is to see if IBUS is as helpful and produces less waste or carbon emissions.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT06641375Recruiting
Heat treatment for chronic acid reflux (AREA study)
This trial tests a new way to treat GERD (chronic acid reflux) using a tiny camera and a device that delivers a gentle heat treatment (argon plasma coagulation) to the area where the stomach meets the esophagus. It's compared to a 'sham' procedure (you won't know which you get) to see if it stops acid from backing up better than medicine alone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–70 - NCT07399054Recruiting
Acid-reducing medicine for ICU patients after surgery
This trial tests a medicine called esomeprazole, given through an IV, to see if it safely prevents stomach bleeding in patients who are in the ICU after surgery. If you qualify, you might get this medicine to help protect your stomach while you recover.

- How do I know if I qualify for a gastroenterology trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastroenterology trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
