Understanding Small-Bowel Disease Through Tissue Analysis
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This research study examines tissue samples from your small bowel (the part of your digestive system after your stomach) to better understand celiac disease and related conditions. By studying these samples in detail, researchers hope to improve how doctors diagnose and treat small-bowel diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You need an upper stomach scope (endoscopy) for medical reasons your doctor has already recommended
- You can read and sign a consent form before the procedure
- You are willing to have a small tissue sample taken during the scope for research
- You do not have other bowel diseases like Crohn's disease or small-bowel ulcers (for healthy control participants)

This study uses ultrasound and blood tests to check how active celiac disease is, which may help doctors monitor the condition without needing invasive procedures.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose celiac disease, a condition where eating gluten damages your small intestine. If you've recently had an endoscopy and a celiac blood test, your information could help improve how doctors diagnose this condition.
This study collects information from people being checked for celiac disease to better understand the condition and improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at why some adults with celiac disease still have damage to their small intestine even after strictly avoiding gluten. It aims to understand persistent villous atrophy and could help improve long-term care for people like you.
This study tests a new medicine called HB-2121 used as a diagnostic tool during an upper endoscopy to help improve detection of celiac disease. It's designed for people who are already scheduled for this procedure and may help doctors see the gut damage caused by celiac more clearly.
This study looks at adults with immune-related stomach and intestine problems to better understand what may cause them. If you qualify, you can share information and consent to help researchers learn how these conditions work.
