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.
This trial uses images and videos from routine capsule endoscopy procedures to develop better ways to diagnose conditions. If you're already scheduled for a capsule endoscopy, you can help by allowing your images to be used for research.
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 capsule camera that doctors can steer using magnets to look at the small intestine. It may help patients who need small-bowel endoscopy when a standard approach isn’t enough, but several safety checks are required.
