Swallowable capsule scans the duodenum with special imaging
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a swallowable imaging capsule can safely look at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It may help researchers better understand gut lining changes, such as those seen in celiac disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new wireless capsule that you swallow, like a pill, to measure temperature inside your digestive tract. It is for healthy volunteers to see if the device is safe and works well.
This trial tests a new type of camera capsule that takes pictures of the lower part of your digestive tract. It may be an option for people who are healthy or have Lynch Syndrome and have had a recent normal colonoscopy.
This study tests the SIMBA capsule to learn how gut bacteria (dysbiosis) relate to digestive conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how the capsule can be used safely.
This trial uses images and videos from routine capsule endoscopy procedures to develop better ways to diagnose conditions. If you're already scheduled for a capsule endoscopy, you can help by allowing your images to be used for research.
This study checks whether a small pill-camera (a capsule) can take clear pictures of the esophagus in people with reflux-related conditions. It may help doctors better see inflammation or narrowing so they can guide treatment.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera capsule can detect bleeding in the small intestine when standard scopes (up the stomach and through the colon) haven’t found the cause. If your bleeding source is suspected but not seen on those tests, this could help identify where the bleeding is coming from.
