Breath test for detecting upper stomach bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breath test that looks for specific gases in your breath to quickly find out if you have upper stomach bleeding. You just breathe into a device, no needles or tubes, and the results could help doctors decide on the best treatment faster.

This study tests whether a special breath test can help doctors find cancer of the food pipe or stomach earlier. You drink a nutrient drink, breathe into a bag, and the test looks for signs of cancer in your breath.
This trial tests whether a medicine called trimebutine maleate helps doctors see the stomach lining more clearly during an emergency endoscopy for upper GI bleeding. If it works, it could help doctors find and treat the bleeding more easily.
This trial tests a medication to help stop bleeding in the upper part of the stomach and esophagus. It may offer a new option for people with this urgent condition.
This study looks at chemical signals in your breath to help screen for or understand gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help doctors improve earlier detection, or better sort out who may need further tests.
This study is testing whether a simple breath and blood test can help doctors better understand gastro-esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus. It aims to see if these non-invasive samples can provide useful information for diagnosis and monitoring.
This trial tests a new ingestible capsule called PillSense that can detect bleeding in the upper part of your digestive system. If you come to the emergency room with signs of upper GI bleeding (like vomiting coffee-ground material or having black stools) but without obvious black stool on a physical exam, this study will see if the capsule works as well as the usual endoscopy procedure.
