Capsule camera test after stomach cancer surgery for older or at-risk patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a magnetic capsule you swallow (like a high-tech pill with a camera) to a standard endoscopy for checking the stomach after surgery. It is designed for patients over 65 or those with conditions like heart or lung disease who may need a less invasive option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had surgery for stomach cancer (including a full removal or a less invasive procedure like ESD).
- You are 65 or older, or you have an underlying condition such as heart, lung, or bleeding problems.
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have a pacemaker (unless it is MRI-safe) or any metal implants in your body.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a blocked or narrowed gut, trouble swallowing, or a fistula.

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 new type of 'capsule' (a small pill with a camera) that doctors can guide with a magnet to look for the source of upper digestive tract bleeding. It's for people who come to the emergency room with signs of bleeding from the stomach or esophagus and are stable enough for the exam.
This trial uses a swallowed capsule to collect fluid and tissue samples along your digestive tract. It aims to understand how gut bacteria vary in healthy people, which could guide future treatments.
This trial tests a special pill-sized camera (NEOmom® gastric video capsule) to screen for stomach cancer. It is for people aged 50-74 who are already scheduled for a colonoscopy (bowel cancer screening). The capsule is swallowed and takes pictures of your stomach without needing a tube or sedation.
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 is testing a new, less invasive way to screen for stomach problems using a tiny capsule that you swallow. It's for older adults or those at higher risk of stomach cancer who live in Guangzhou.
