Biopsy via endoscopy for chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a special type of biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) during an endoscopy is safe and helpful for people with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, a condition where the intestines act blocked without a physical blockage. The goal is to learn more about the disease and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (a condition that causes your intestines to act like they are blocked, even when they aren't)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are able to safely have an endoscopy (a procedure with a thin tube and camera)
- You do not have serious heart, kidney, or liver disease
- You are not currently in another clinical trial (unless it's just observation)

This trial checks if a genetic test can find causes of a rare condition where the intestines don't move normally, causing blockages. It may help people with poor esophagus muscle function.
This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
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 is looking at people who need an intestinal scope (endoscopy) for gut symptoms or bowel conditions like IBS, IBD, or possible colorectal cancer. Your results may help doctors better understand these long-term conditions and improve follow-up care.
This study collects small tissue samples from the stomach and upper small intestine while you’re already having certain kinds of GI (digestive) or abdominal surgery. It aims to learn what causes stomach or bowel movement problems in some patients, which could guide future diagnosis and care.
This trial looks at children who need a camera test (endoscopy) to check their digestive system. It helps doctors learn more about why these tests are done in kids.
