Microbiome sampling during endoscopy for GI disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study collects samples during an upper endoscopy (a camera test of your upper digestive system) to learn about the microbes living in the small intestine of people with digestive diseases. It may help researchers understand how these microbes affect gut health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be a patient at Stanford's Digestive Health Center and already scheduled for an upper endoscopy as part of your regular medical care.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have a condition that affects your ability to make decisions for yourself.

This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This study is looking at people who need an intestinal scope (endoscopy) for gut symptoms or bowel conditions like IBS, IBD, or possible colorectal cancer. Your results may help doctors better understand these long-term conditions and improve follow-up care.
This trial is studying how the way we handle human samples affects the quality of microbiota (gut bacteria) analysis. It's looking for healthy volunteers to donate samples so researchers can improve lab methods.
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 samples to learn how gut microbes, genetics, and body chemistry may relate to Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Your information and samples may help researchers understand disease patterns, but it does not test a new drug.
This study collects and stores digestive (bowel) tissue to better understand how gut bacteria may affect diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers find future ways to improve care for people with these conditions.
