Test a pill-camera for viewing the esophagus in reflux patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with acid reflux problems like GERD, and possibly Barrett’s esophagus or EoE
- You must be able to give informed consent (able to understand and agree to the study)
- If you are 18–84 years old, you may be eligible
- You must be able to swallow pills/capsules and have a gag reflex that won’t stop the test
- You must follow the fasting plan: no solid food for 4 hours before, and only clear liquids for 2 hours before
- You must not be pregnant

This trial tests a special capsule (Navicam) to see if it can find Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise your risk of esophageal cancer. If you have had an endoscopy in the last year or have chronic heartburn with other risk factors, you may be able to join.
This study checks whether a special swallowable “camera capsule” test done in primary care can find early warning changes called Barrett’s esophagus. If it works well, it could make screening easier for people at risk.
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.
This study checks whether a swallowable capsule can help find signs of Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer (or related risk) before or around an endoscopy. The goal is to see if this less invasive sampling method could improve screening.
This study tests a new pill-sized camera (capsule endoscopy) to see how well it finds leftover food in the stomach. It compares healthy people to those who take GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) to see if the camera is safe and useful.
This study checks whether a special test of the esophagus after meals can find the exact reason for ongoing reflux symptoms when proton pump pills (PPIs) don’t help. It may help doctors choose the right next treatment for people whose reflux symptoms keep coming back.
