Camera capsule endoscopy for colorectal disease diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a camera pill (capsule endoscopy) as an alternative to a regular colonoscopy for people with colon or rectum symptoms. It's a simpler way to look inside your large intestine without a tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a swallowable camera capsule can safely check the colon and find possible tumor-related issues when a standard colonoscopy can’t be completed. It may help people who can’t or don’t want another colonoscopy right away.
This trial tests whether a camera capsule can detect problems in the large intestine when certain gut bacteria are found in the blood. If you have one of these bacteria and are stable enough for the exam, it might help identify the source of the infection.
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 uses images and videos from routine capsule endoscopy procedures to develop better ways to diagnose conditions. If you're already scheduled for a capsule endoscopy, you can help by allowing your images to be used for research.
This study compares different special camera techniques during colonoscopy to see which best finds early abnormal (pre-cancer) changes in people with long-term ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors improve how they screen and monitor your colon over time.
This trial tests a new capsule that you swallow to take pictures of your colon. It may help find polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) as well as a standard colonoscopy does.
