Capsule colonoscopy for people with Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing a pill-sized camera (capsule colonoscopy) to see if it works well for monitoring people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that raises the risk of colon cancer. It might be an alternative to standard colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can understand the study information and give your permission (consent)
- You have not had any surgery to remove part of your small bowel or colon
- You do not have trouble swallowing or a known blockage in your digestive tract

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well a tiny camera in a pill (capsule endoscopy) can find early growths or cancer in the small intestine of people with Lynch syndrome. Lynch syndrome increases your risk for certain cancers, and this test might help catch them earlier.
This study tests whether a video capsule (a pill-sized camera you swallow) can help find polyps in people with Lynch syndrome, without needing a colonoscopy. It may be an easier way to screen for colon cancer.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera (video capsule endoscopy) can help look inside the small intestine for people with Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors detect problems earlier or more clearly by improving how the small bowel is checked.
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
This trial tests a new type of camera capsule that takes pictures of the lower part of your digestive tract. It may be an option for people who are healthy or have Lynch Syndrome and have had a recent normal colonoscopy.
