Best way to measure time during an upper GI endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of measuring time during an upper GI endoscopy (a camera test that looks at your esophagus, stomach, and the start of your small intestine) to see which one helps doctors find possible cancers better. The goal is to improve how these exams are done for people who need them for diagnosis or monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having an upper GI endoscopy (a camera down your throat) to check for or monitor conditions that can lead to cancer.
- You have never had surgery on your esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (the first part of your small intestine).
- You do not have known or suspected cancer.
- Your endoscopy is not for a treatment like removing polyps (growths) or using heat to stop bleeding.

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 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.
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 trial looks at when to perform an endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach) in people who have both heart disease and stomach bleeding. If you take blood thinners for your heart and have a sudden stomach bleed, this study can help find the safest time for the procedure.
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 uses an endoscopy camera to look at the inside of your upper digestive tract to find the cause of bleeding. It may help doctors understand what is happening and decide on the best treatment.
