Pronase to improve stomach cleanliness during endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called pronase, taken before an upper endoscopy (a scope test to look at your stomach), helps keep the stomach lining cleaner so the doctor can see better. If you are having a routine upper endoscopy, this might help make the exam more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is building a tool to predict if a patient's stomach will empty normally before a sedated upper endoscopy (gastroscopy). It tests risk factors that help doctors plan safer procedures.
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 studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
This study follows people who have had an upper endoscopy (a camera test through the mouth to look at the stomach) to monitor precancerous stomach changes. It may help doctors learn the best way to watch these spots over time and catch problems early.
This trial tests whether a medicine called pronase, given before a colonoscopy, helps clear away mucus in the intestines so the doctor can see better in people with colitis (like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease). It might help make the exam more accurate and comfortable.
This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
