Testing a camera swallow exam for recent upper gut bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a new, recent episode of upper gut bleeding within about 48 hours of going to the ER, with blood test change (hemoglobin drop of at least 20 g/L)
- You can understand and sign consent
- At the time of consent, your vital signs are stable (blood pressure above 100/60 and/or pulse under 110)
- Your first stomach camera (gastroscopy) did not show active bleeding or a clear bleeding source

This trial tests if a quick endoscopic exam of the upper digestive tract helps people who come to the hospital with maroon-colored or bloody stools. It may find the source of bleeding and guide treatment.
This study is looking at whether a new AI tool can read capsule endoscopy videos as accurately as the standard method. Capsule endoscopy uses a small camera pill that you swallow to take pictures of your digestive tract. If you've had this procedure, your videos might be used to help test the AI tool.
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 tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
This study looks back at results from a small camera pill (capsule endoscopy) used to find the source of bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors better understand how well this test works for people with gastrointestinal bleeding.
This trial tests a wireless optical sensor capsule that you swallow to find the source of bleeding in your upper stomach or food pipe. It may help doctors diagnose upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a standard endoscopy tube.
