Recruiting studies
- NCT07586111Recruiting

A capsule test for suspected upper GI bleeding
This trial tests a new ingestible capsule called PillSense that can detect bleeding in the upper part of your digestive system. If you come to the emergency room with signs of upper GI bleeding (like vomiting coffee-ground material or having black stools) but without obvious black stool on a physical exam, this study will see if the capsule works as well as the usual endoscopy procedure.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06108011Recruiting

Acupuncture and acupressure to prevent hand-foot syndrome from capecitabine
This trial tests if electroacupuncture combined with self-administered acupressure can prevent hand-foot syndrome, a common side effect of the chemotherapy drug capecitabine. It is for people with gastrointestinal or breast cancer who are starting capecitabine for the first time.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–85 - NCT04919265Recruiting
Mother and baby health study from early pregnancy
This study follows pregnant people and their babies from the first few months of pregnancy through at least one year after birth. It aims to learn how health and development turn out, especially for mothers who can keep coming to the same clinic for follow-up.
Kajang, SelangorAges 18–45 - NCT07558447Recruiting
Studying Tiny Particles to Predict Chemotherapy Nerve Damage
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood to understand and potentially predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. Researchers will monitor you before, during, and after your cancer treatment to see if these particles can help warn doctors about this common side effect.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07552467Recruiting
PET Imaging Scan for Detecting Cancer Using New Radioactive Tracer
This study tests a new type of imaging scan (PET/CT or PET/MR) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors better detect and diagnose various cancers. The scan targets a specific protein found in tumors, which may help identify cancer more accurately than standard imaging.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07552805Recruiting
Home monitoring device after major digestive surgery
This study tests a wearable patch called Multisense that monitors your health at home after major gastrointestinal surgery. It's designed to catch problems early so you can stay safe and avoid returning to the hospital.
Nice, Alpes-MaritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT06740903RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two drugs for pain control in gallbladder surgery
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
Sahiwal, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT03866525RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test an oncolytic virus treatment for solid tumors
This early-stage study tests a virus therapy designed to attack solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have returned/spread. It may help shrink tumors and control cancer in people whose standard treatments are no longer working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07544589RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DISP-10 for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called DISP-10 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system, such as stomach, colon, or bile duct cancers. It aims to see if DISP-10 is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07540026Recruiting
Comparing Two Treatments for Bleeding Stomach Tumors
This trial tests two medications—tranexamic acid and sucralfate—applied during an endoscopy (a camera procedure) to stop bleeding caused by tumors in the upper digestive tract. The goal is to see which treatment works better at controlling the bleeding.
Tainan, Not Required For This CountryAges 18 years+ - NCT07539532Recruiting
AI model to predict heart problems after stomach surgery
This study compares a new artificial intelligence tool with traditional methods to predict which patients might have heart-related complications after gastrointestinal surgery. The goal is to find better ways to identify high-risk patients and potentially improve their care.
Hà NộiAges 16 years+ - NCT07519915Recruiting
Understanding Nerve Stimulation for Bowel Problems in Children
This research study looks at using sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation of nerves in the lower spine—to help children with bowel movement problems. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and what improvements matter most to patients and families.
ErlangenAges 3–18 - NCT07521111Recruiting
Stomach Blood Flow and Feeding Tolerance in Critical Illness
This study examines whether measuring blood flow in the stomach using ultrasound can predict which hospitalized patients will struggle to tolerate tube feeding. Researchers hope this simple test might help doctors adjust feeding plans earlier and improve patient outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07524114Recruiting
Blood test to find leftover cancer after treatment
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07501663Recruiting
Managing nerve damage from chemo in GI cancer survivors
This study tests different integrative approaches (like acupuncture or supplements) to help GI cancer survivors manage nerve damage from chemotherapy. You may be able to join if you have ongoing numbness and tingling from chemo.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07479056Recruiting
Fexuprazan to prevent stomach bleeding in heart patients on two blood thinners
This trial tests whether fexuprazan can prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in people at high risk who need two antiplatelet drugs for at least 6 months after a heart stent. If you are on dual antiplatelet therapy after a stent and have risk factors like older age, low weight, or history of ulcers, this study may help protect your stomach.
Seoul, Eunpyeong-guAges 20 years+ - NCT07471490Enrolling by invitation
Stool test study for inflammatory bowel disease vs. irritable bowel syndrome
This study collects stool samples and health information to help develop a new test that may tell the difference between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If you have not been diagnosed with a chronic gut disorder, you may be able to join.

Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04929912Recruiting
Registry for people treated with electroporation for cancer
This study is a real-world registry that collects information about people who have already received cancer treatment using electroporation methods. It may help researchers learn which treatments are used in practice and what outcomes people experience.
LondonAges Any age - NCT07448129Recruiting
Testing SUBMO for removing large colon growths
This trial tests a new liquid called SUBMO that doctors inject under large growths in the colon to make them easier to remove during a colonoscopy. It may help people who need a colon polyp or other lesion removed.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03740503Recruiting
Study genes in people who respond unusually to treatment
This study looks at stored tumor samples to understand why some people respond much better or much worse than expected. The goal is to learn what the tumor’s genes might be telling doctors about response to treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05752071Recruiting
Stomach stimulation to help bowel recovery after major surgery
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastrointestinal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 469 recruiting gastrointestinal studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gastrointestinal 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 gastrointestinal 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.
