Pill camera for stomach checks after cancer surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a new pill-sized camera (magnetic capsule) with the usual scope for checking the stomach after cancer surgery. It may be easier and less uncomfortable than the standard tube test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had surgery for stomach cancer (including endoscopic removal).
- You are over 65 or have a health condition like heart, lung, or bleeding problems.
- You can swallow a pill-shaped camera capsule without trouble.
- You do not have a pacemaker, electronic implant, or metal in your body (MRI-safe pacemakers are OK).
- You are not pregnant and have no known blockages, tears, or narrowing in your digestive tract.

This study aims to build a library of images from patients with early cancers or precancerous spots in the upper digestive tract (esophagus and stomach). If you are scheduled for a standard endoscopy procedure (ESD or biopsy), researchers will use the pictures to help improve early detection.
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 tests a small camera pill (the NEOmom gastric video capsule) to see if it can spot early signs of stomach cancer during a colonoscopy visit. You swallow the pill and it takes pictures of your stomach, possibly catching problems early without a more invasive tube test.
This trial tests a new way to move a camera pill through your small intestine using magnets. It is designed for people who already need a small bowel exam, and looks at how well the magnetic control works.
This trial checks how well a wearable magnet tracking system can guide a capsule camera through your digestive tract. It may help doctors see where the capsule is in real time without changing the basic capsule endoscopy process.
This study tests a swallowable magnetic camera to examine your stomach and small intestine before bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. The camera may help doctors plan your surgery and catch any issues beforehand.
