Testing a deeper intestinal biopsy for chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to take a deeper tissue sample (biopsy) from the intestine during an endoscopy to better understand chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. The goal is to find out if it's safe and helpful for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have or be suspected of having chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, a condition where the intestines can't push food through properly without a physical blockage.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be able to undergo an endoscopy (a test with a flexible tube and camera to look inside your digestive system).
- You must be able to give informed consent to take part in the study.
- You cannot have serious kidney, liver, or heart disease, and you cannot be in another clinical research study at the same time.

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 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 how deeply doctors can safely insert a camera scope into the ileum (a part of the small intestine) during a procedure called retrograde enteroscopy. It may help improve how the exam is done for people whose small-bowel problem wasn’t fully found by usual tests.
This trial tests a new, gentler way to diagnose Crohn's disease. If you have symptoms like long-lasting diarrhea or belly pain, this study may help find out if you have Crohn's without invasive procedures.
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.
