Stomach cancer screening during routine colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks for early signs of stomach cancer and Barrett's esophagus (a precancerous condition) in people who are already getting a routine colonoscopy. By adding a quick upper endoscopy during the same visit, doctors can check for H. pylori infection and abnormal tissue changes without extra hassle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy (first-time or follow-up for polyps).
- You have no stomach or digestive symptoms (like pain, heartburn, or nausea).
- You are willing to have an additional upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) with small tissue samples taken.
- You have not taken acid-reducing medication (like omeprazole or pantoprazole) in the last 4 weeks.
- You have never been treated for H. pylori (a stomach bacteria) or been told you have it.

This trial studies whether testing for an infection called H. pylori and using simple blood/screening tests (pepsinogen testing) can help prevent stomach cancer and reduce stomach-cancer-related deaths. You would be followed for health outcomes to see if the approach works better than standard care.
This study follows adults with past or current H. pylori infection to better understand stomach lining changes such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, and to monitor for possible progression. It may help by improving how doctors track risk over time and use stored tissue samples to learn more.
This study looks at how often and how intensely to do follow-up stomach camera exams (endoscopy) with small biopsies for people at risk of stomach cancer. It may help personalize your follow-up schedule based on your specific stomach findings.
This study looks at people with certain stomach symptoms or precancer risk factors when they get a camera test of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy). The goal is to learn how to better detect and evaluate stomach precancer conditions early, which may help guide treatment or follow-up.
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
This study uses high-definition endoscopy to look at early changes in the stomach lining that might lead to cancer. It aims to better understand these changes in people having a routine upper endoscopy for stomach-related symptoms.
