Gastric cancer screening with a video capsule
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special pill-sized camera (NEOmom® gastric video capsule) to screen for stomach cancer. It is for people aged 50-74 who are already scheduled for a colonoscopy (bowel cancer screening). The capsule is swallowed and takes pictures of your stomach without needing a tube or sedation.

This trial compares a magnetic capsule you swallow (like a high-tech pill with a camera) to a standard endoscopy for checking the stomach after surgery. It is designed for patients over 65 or those with conditions like heart or lung disease who may need a less invasive option.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a new type of 'capsule' (a small pill with a camera) that doctors can guide with a magnet to look for the source of upper digestive tract bleeding. It's for people who come to the emergency room with signs of bleeding from the stomach or esophagus and are stable enough for the exam.
