Biopsy during endoscopy to help stage chronic stomach inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking a small tissue sample (biopsy) from a specific spot during an upper stomach camera (endoscopy) improves how doctors classify chronic gastritis. The goal is to help ensure your stomach inflammation is evaluated more accurately over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an upper endoscopy to diagnose or monitor stomach inflammation
- You can give informed consent (you understand and agree to join the study)
- You do not already have a diagnosis of advanced stomach cancer
- Your endoscopy is expected to be completed fully (not cut short)
- Your stomach has not been changed by surgery

This study looks at how often and how intensely to do follow-up stomach camera exams (endoscopy) with small biopsies for people at risk of stomach cancer. It may help personalize your follow-up schedule based on your specific stomach findings.
This study looks at people with certain stomach symptoms or precancer risk factors when they get a camera test of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy). The goal is to learn how to better detect and evaluate stomach precancer conditions early, which may help guide treatment or follow-up.
This study follows people who have had an upper endoscopy (a camera test through the mouth to look at the stomach) to monitor precancerous stomach changes. It may help doctors learn the best way to watch these spots over time and catch problems early.
This study tests if a special type of biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) during an endoscopy is safe and helpful for people with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, a condition where the intestines act blocked without a physical blockage. The goal is to learn more about the disease and improve care.
This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
