Capsule camera for bleeding in stomach or intestines
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a pill-sized camera that you swallow to find bleeding in your stomach or intestines. It may help if you have bleeding while taking antiplatelet medicines (blood thinners) and do not see blood in your stool.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines, like vomiting blood or black, tarry stools.
- You have been taking antiplatelet medicines (like aspirin or clopidogrel) for at least 14 days.
- Your vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) are stable.
- You do not have any conditions that make it unsafe to swallow a capsule or have the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks back at results from a small camera pill (capsule endoscopy) used to find the source of bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors better understand how well this test works for people with gastrointestinal bleeding.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera capsule can detect bleeding in the small intestine when standard scopes (up the stomach and through the colon) haven’t found the cause. If your bleeding source is suspected but not seen on those tests, this could help identify where the bleeding is coming from.
This trial tests a wireless optical sensor capsule that you swallow to find the source of bleeding in your upper stomach or food pipe. It may help doctors diagnose upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a standard endoscopy tube.
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 whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
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.
