Detecting GI bleeding with HemoPill during endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a small pill (HemoPill) that detects bleeding in the stomach or intestines during an upper endoscopy. It might help doctors find the source of bleeding more quickly and accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares an IV “acid-suppressing” medicine (PPI infusion) with acid pills (oral PPIs) after doctors treat a bleeding peptic ulcer endoscopically. It may help prevent re-bleeding by keeping stomach acid low while the ulcer heals.
This study tests a new blue dye spray (UI-EWD) versus standard endoscopy treatment for people with active upper GI bleeding. The goal is to see if the dye helps doctors find and stop bleeding more effectively.
This trial tests a new ingestible capsule called PillSense that can detect bleeding in the upper part of your digestive system. If you come to the emergency room with signs of upper GI bleeding (like vomiting coffee-ground material or having black stools) but without obvious black stool on a physical exam, this study will see if the capsule works as well as the usual endoscopy procedure.
This trial tests a wireless optical sensor capsule that you swallow to find the source of bleeding in your upper stomach or food pipe. It may help doctors diagnose upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a standard endoscopy tube.
This trial tests a special pill that can be swallowed to help find the cause of anemia or hidden blood in the stool, without the need for more invasive tests. It is for patients who are already in the hospital and have been referred to a gastroenterologist.
This study looks back at results from a small camera pill (capsule endoscopy) used to find the source of bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors better understand how well this test works for people with gastrointestinal bleeding.
