Leaks in the esophagus or stomach: microbiome role
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the role of tiny organisms (the microbiome) in leaks from the esophagus or stomach. Researchers will take small tissue samples to learn more about these leaks and how to treat them better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a leak in your esophagus (the tube from your throat to your stomach) or your stomach itself.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- Your doctor or surgeon must agree that you can safely have a biopsy (a small tissue sample taken) to study the leak.

This study looks at bacteria in esophageal cancer tumors and whether certain bacteria are linked to leaks that can happen after surgery to remove the esophagus. It may help doctors understand how to prevent these leaks in the future.
This study enrolls healthy adults to build a registry and biobank (collection of samples). It tests whether collecting information and biological samples from people without symptoms can help researchers understand normal stomach and esophagus function.
This study collects samples during an upper endoscopy (a camera test of your upper digestive system) to learn about the microbes living in the small intestine of people with digestive diseases. It may help researchers understand how these microbes affect gut health.
This study looks at how the esophagus heals after injury or surgery. It may help doctors find better ways to prevent or treat leaks that can happen after certain upper gastrointestinal procedures.
This study looks at stomach (gastric) and esophagus cancer, using clinical information and tissue samples. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care.
This trial looks at tiny pieces of DNA found outside cells in stomach tissue to better understand how gastric (stomach) cancer starts and progresses. It may help future patients by improving how doctors study stomach cancer from biopsy and surgical samples.
