Test a capsule that checks the colon when colonoscopy isn’t finished
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a swallowable camera capsule can safely check the colon and find possible tumor-related issues when a standard colonoscopy can’t be completed. It may help people who can’t or don’t want another colonoscopy right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an incomplete colonoscopy, or were sent for a colonoscopy with general anesthesia, or you chose not to do colonoscopy after bowel prep.
- You already completed the bowel preparation needed to clear your colon for a camera check.
- You do not have active Crohn’s disease symptoms related to narrowing (stenosis) in the colon.
- You do not have a pacemaker.
- Your doctors think it’s reasonable to use the capsule camera instead of (or before) another colonoscopy.

This trial tests a camera pill (capsule endoscopy) as an alternative to a regular colonoscopy for people with colon or rectum symptoms. It's a simpler way to look inside your large intestine without a tube.
This trial tests whether a camera capsule can detect problems in the large intestine when certain gut bacteria are found in the blood. If you have one of these bacteria and are stable enough for the exam, it might help identify the source of the infection.
This study is testing a capsule colonoscopy — a tiny camera in a pill you swallow — as an alternative to a traditional colonoscopy for people with Lynch syndrome, which raises your risk of colon cancer. If it works well, it could make routine screenings a lot more comfortable and easier.
This trial tests a new capsule that you swallow to take pictures of your colon. It may help find polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) as well as a standard colonoscopy does.
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.
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.
