Video pill camera test for Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera (video capsule endoscopy) can help look inside the small intestine for people with Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors detect problems earlier or more clearly by improving how the small bowel is checked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have Lynch syndrome with a known inherited genetic change (pathogenic variant) in MLH1, MSH2/EPCAM, MSH6, or PMS2
- You must be willing and able to sign the consent form for the study
- You have not had surgery on your small bowel before
- You can safely take the video capsule (no medical reason you cannot)

This study tests whether a video capsule (a pill-sized camera you swallow) can help find polyps in people with Lynch syndrome, without needing a colonoscopy. It may be an easier way to screen for colon cancer.
This study looks at how well a tiny camera in a pill (capsule endoscopy) can find early growths or cancer in the small intestine of people with Lynch syndrome. Lynch syndrome increases your risk for certain cancers, and this test might help catch them earlier.
This study is testing a pill-sized camera (capsule colonoscopy) to see if it works well for monitoring people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that raises the risk of colon cancer. It might be an alternative to standard colonoscopy.
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
This study looks at how the immune system interacts with the gut lining in people with Lynch syndrome and those without. It may help us better understand how Lynch syndrome affects the body.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test or tumor tissue test can help identify Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer, in people who already have colon cancer. If you are eligible, the study will compare different screening methods to see which work best in Vietnam.
