Navicam capsule test for Barrett's esophagus detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special capsule (Navicam) to see if it can find Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise your risk of esophageal cancer. If you have had an endoscopy in the last year or have chronic heartburn with other risk factors, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years or older.
- You have had an endoscopy within the past year, or you have chronic heartburn plus at least 3 other risk factors for Barrett's esophagus.
- You do not have a tumor in your throat, esophagus, or stomach area.
- You do not have trouble swallowing or a narrowed esophagus that has needed stretching.
- You do not have a pacemaker or implanted heart defibrillator.
- You have not had esophageal surgery (except for acid reflux surgery called fundoplication).

This study checks whether a small pill-camera (a capsule) can take clear pictures of the esophagus in people with reflux-related conditions. It may help doctors better see inflammation or narrowing so they can guide treatment.
This study focuses on people with Barrett’s esophagus who are coming in for an endoscopy check or for treatment of early surface changes. The goal is to better understand these early warning areas and how to manage them safely.
This trial tests a small swallowable capsule with a camera that can move through your intestines to check if they're narrowed or blocked. It's designed for people who can't have standard endoscopy procedures and helps doctors see if your bowel is open enough for treatment.
This trial tests a device that collects cells from the esophagus using a swallowed capsule, which may detect Barrett's esophagus without a standard endoscopy. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopy.
This trial studies an “EsophaCap” capsule that can be swallowed during an endoscopy to help detect early esophageal cancer. It may help find cancer earlier and guide next steps, if your results are concerning.
This study checks whether a special swallowable “camera capsule” test done in primary care can find early warning changes called Barrett’s esophagus. If it works well, it could make screening easier for people at risk.
