Camera pill for stomach cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a small camera pill (the NEOmom gastric video capsule) to see if it can spot early signs of stomach cancer during a colonoscopy visit. You swallow the pill and it takes pictures of your stomach, possibly catching problems early without a more invasive tube test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a new pill-sized camera (magnetic capsule) with the usual scope for checking the stomach after cancer surgery. It may be easier and less uncomfortable than the standard tube test.
This trial tests a camera pill (capsule endoscopy) as an alternative to a regular colonoscopy for people with colon or rectum symptoms. It's a simpler way to look inside your large intestine without a tube.
This trial tests if a capsule-sized camera can be used at home to check for stomach problems. It's for healthy people or those with stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, or bleeding.
This study is testing a new, less invasive way to screen for stomach problems using a tiny capsule that you swallow. It's for older adults or those at higher risk of stomach cancer who live in Guangzhou.
This study tests a pill-sized camera that you swallow to find bleeding in your stomach or intestines. It may help if you have bleeding while taking antiplatelet medicines (blood thinners) and do not see blood in your stool.
This trial tests a new way to move a camera pill through your small intestine using magnets. It is designed for people who already need a small bowel exam, and looks at how well the magnetic control works.
