In this study, the investigators will test the ability of the Magnetic Flexible Endoscope (MFE) to travel through the colon of people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The MFE is a device made of ultra-flexible tubing that contains a camera, light, and magnet at the tip. The tip of the tube is about the size of a penny. The magnet inside the tip allows the MFE to be moved through the colon by a second magnet attached to a robotic arm that is outside the body. The purpose of this study is to see how the MFE travels through the colon of IBD patients and if it is tolerable.

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) represents an opportunity to evaluate the upper airway in sleep-like conditions. In its current clinical form, however, DISE does not routinely determine the functional impact of anatomic and neuromuscular factors on airflow obstruction. The investigators will apply nasal pressure (CPAP) during DISE to generate pressure-flow and pressure-area relationships, deriving functional determinants of upper airway obstruction during sleep. In addition, they will use objective anatomic measurements from computerized tomography (CT) and submental ultrasound. The findings will allow the investigators to streamline the upper airway exam during DISE, and will further the goal of developing personalized solutions that address specific pathogenic mechanisms of pharyngeal collapse and airflow obstruction during sleep. The investigators will use the physiologic and anatomic features derived from DISE and imaging to determine which are predictive of success to standard-of-care surgical interventions (e.g. skeletal, soft tissue, neurostimulation) .

Common complications of the Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 (KPro) surgery include retroprosthetic membrane formation, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Often pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is performed at the same time as KPro surgery for different indications. It has been shown to reduce postoperative complications in comparison to when it is performed after the KPro surgery. Patients who receive a complete PPV with peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane have a lower incidence of retroprosthetic membrane formation and less vision loss due to glaucoma when compared to patients with partial PPV or anterior vitrectomy. During a complete PPV, peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane is a difficult step because visualisation is poor, but it can be improved using endoscopy. The investigators suggest that peeling of the anterior hyaloid membrane assisted by endoscopy during KPro surgery would decrease postoperative complications in comparison to a PPV done after KPro surgery and without endoscopy.

DIAPI for Diabetes

Montreal, Quebec
The peri-endoscopy management of diabetes mellitus creates significant challenges for both patients and healthcare professionals. These procedures require fasting and in certain situations, such as prior to a colonoscopy, the diet must be modified the day before the intervention and patients need to take a laxative. These factors put patients at high risk for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Inadequate diabetes control or the continuation of certain medications during this period can be dangerous for the patient and lead to the cancellation of the procedure. DIAPI is a web application designed to generate orders for optimal and personalized treatment based on each patient's antidiabetic treatment, their glycemic control, their risk of hypoglycemia, and the intervention-related variables. DIAPI's algorithm is established on current evidence-based data when available, and experts' opinions. Information generated by DIAPI: * For the patient: Clear instructions regarding their diabetes medication management for the days preceding and the day of the endoscopy. * For the health care team: * Clear instructions regarding patient's diabetes medication management for the days preceding and the day of the endoscopy; * Individualized hyperglycemia protocol; * Hypoglycemia protocol; * Guidelines if SGLT2 inhibitors have not been discontinued pre-intervention; * Suggestion on whether an Endocrinology consultation is needed. DIAPI aims to simplify the complex task of peri-intervention diabetes management while ensuring patient safety. It is a cost-effective solution that can lead to a reduction of unnecessary Endocrinology consultations, a decrease in nurses' workload, a lessening of the risk of errors and a diminution of endoscopy cancellation. The validation study is divided into two main phases. * Phase 1 - Concordance. The investigators will assess the reproducibility of DIAPI orders when two different healthcare workers (an endocrinologist and a nurse) collect data for the same patient. The investigators hypothesize that DIAPI orders are concordant in 80%. Patients in this phase will be subjected to the mainstay management, which is using the treating-physician's recommendations instead of DIAPI's. This group will be the control arm for the non-inferiority study (Phase 2). * Phase 2 - Non-inferiority study. The investigators hypothesize that DIAPI's orders are not inferior to the recommendations issued by the treating-physician in terms of efficacy and security. Patients in this phase will be subjected DIAPI's orders. This group will be the intervention arm for the non-inferiority study.

The investigators have developed a new technology, termed in-vivo laser capture microdissection (IVLCM), that addresses the limitations of endoscopic biopsy for screening for BE and provides targeted genomic profiling of aberrant tissue for more precise prediction of EAC risk. The device is a tethered capsule endomicroscope (TCE) that implements optical coherence tomography (OCT) to grab 10-mm-resolution, cross-sectional microscopic images of the entire esophagus after the capsule is swallowed. This OCT-based TCE technology is used in unsedated patients to visualize images of BE and dysplastic BE. During the IVLCM procedure, TCE images of abnormal BE tissue are identified in real time and selectively adhered onto the device. When the capsule is removed from the patient, these tissues, targeted based on their abnormal OCT morphology, are sent for genomic analysis. By enabling the precise isolation of aberrant esophageal tissues using a swallowable capsule, this technology has the potential to solve the major problems that currently prohibit adequate BE screening and prevention of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma EAC.

This study plans to learn if the EvoEndo Endoscopy system can be used to evaluate, provide and follow up care for upper gastrointestinal tract diseases in the bariatric population. The smallest current scope available for such a technique is an adult transnasal endoscope with a larger diameter, a pulmonary bronchoscope or Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) laryngoscope. This study is evaluating a newly Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared ultra-slim, single-use, endoscope specifically designed for transnasal endoscopy to evaluate its use in adult upper tract gastrointestinal diseases. If such a technique is successful it could improve the safety, cost, and access of endoscopic care for patients in need of an endoscopic evaluation for a bariatric medical condition.

Anesthesia is crucial during upper GI endoscopy in order to improve the procedural conditions for the interventionist, increase the quality of examination and alleviate patient discomfort. However, sedation during endoscopy carries a serious risk of blood oxygen desaturation. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis if the application of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) during high-risk gastroscopy reduces the risk of blood oxygen levels to drop below a defined threshold. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either the control group, receiving standard care during endoscopy, or the intervention group, receiving HFNO therapy during the procedure. Throughout the intervention, vital parameters will be recorded. Care providers will be asked to answer a questionnaire that specifically evaluates the effect of HFNO on patient safety and the procedure.

Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is a poorly understood condition characterized by intestinal inflammation and loss of barrier function that is prevalent in regions of the world with inadequate sanitation and hygiene. EED is a major driver of malnourishment, poor neurological development, stunting, oral vaccine failure, and infection, affecting 25% of all children globally and causing over a million deaths each year. Progress towards understanding EED and developing effective interventions has been hampered by an inability to evaluate the intestinal mucosa of populations in impoverished regions of the world where this condition is endemic. In order to prevent the deleterious and permanent sequelae of the disease, there is a need for effective diagnosis and intervention to be implemented in EED patients before the age of 2. Currently, the only means for directly evaluating the intestine is endoscopy with mucosal biopsy. Unfortunately, endoscopy is untenable for the study of EED because of limited resources and the high cost. As a result, there is a clear, unmet need for a less invasive tool that can be used in low-and-middle-income-countries (LMICs) to evaluate the intestine in population with EED. This work is supported by a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). The overall goal is to provide a minimally invasive means of obtaining detailed infantile intestinal tissue information that is needed for the development of effective EED interventions. Obtaining biopsies will play a critical role in gathering the detailed intestinal tissue information. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of utilizing a cryobiopsy probe to obtain biopsies in adults.

The objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of an argon plasma-based therapy - HEAPE - in treating H. pylori infections during endoscopic procedures. By filling the stomach with sodium chloride solution that is treated with APC (PAL), the Investigators hypothesize a significant reduction in H. pylori. The use of PAL instead of direct application of APC allows for a broader and more homogeneous application throughout the stomach and a faster procedure time, as the fluid bypasses the thermal effects typically associated with higher electrical power settings and focuses on the bactericidal action of PAL. It is a procedure that does not involve thermal ablation of the stomach lining. Thus, side effects should be expected to be as low as possible. Two different PAL generation modalities will be compared in this study: 1. HEAPE direct: This modality is the direct generation of PAL in the stomach. The stomach is filled with sodium chloride solution which is then treated with APC. With HEAPE direct a potential decrease of reactive species is avoided, as the treatment happens directly at the intended location in the H. pylori infected stomach. 2. Pre-HEAPE: This modality features the treatment of sodium chloride with APC outside of the patient in a sterile container. After the APC treatment, the generated PAL is administered into the stomach with a syringe through the working channel of the endoscope. Pre-HEAPE allows an easier handling of the APC probe as the treatment of the sodium chloride solution can be done without an endoscope. To evaluate the immediate effect of this novel treatment approach the metabolic activity of H. pylori will be assessed using a urea breath test (UBT) before and after treatment. A reduction in H. pylori levels can be detected by a reduction in urease activity in the breath test. After the HEAPE procedure, patients are treated with antibiotics (best practice) as they would be under normal circumstances. Four weeks after treatment, another UBT is performed to determine if H. pylori has been eradicated or if additional antibiotic treatment is indicated. This two-arm, randomized, pilot, single-center, prospective clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and proof of concept that PAL has the ability to eradicate or reduce the bacterial load of H. pylori in humans.

The objective of the study is to investigate the treatment of marginal ulcers with Low Thermal plasma in an endoscopic setting. By a treatment of the ulcerated areas with argon plasma with low power settings (\~ 1 W) we hypothesize that the size of the ulcers will shrink, and the healing is accelerated compared to standard of care alone. Patients will benefit from this minimally invasive approach compared to a much more invasive surgical approach that comes with higher risks and hospital stay length time. From a societal and scientific perspective, this study aims to extend the well-documented clinical benefits of plasma technology - from external wound healing to internal ulcer treatment - within an endoscopic framework. The success of this study could pave the way for broader applications of LTP in the treatment of other endoscopically accessible conditions such as peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers and esophageal ulcers. This advancement has the potential not only to improve patient outcomes through less invasive methods, but also to position LTP as a cornerstone in the future of gastroenterological wound management strategies.

Supervision for Endoscopy Training

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Eligible participants are those who are members of the general surgery residency pediatric gastroenterology fellowship, and adult gastroenterology fellowship. Through a randomized-controlled trial, participants will fill out a baseline set of demographic information including year of training, approximate number of colonoscopies to date, specialty, age, sex and handedness. Participation in this activity is completely voluntary. Trainees will be randomized to one of two groups. Either first participating in an unassisted colonoscopy module twice and then taking a questionnaire and then transitioning to a supervised/coached colonoscopy module session twice and taking a questionnaire, versus the reverse, in which the participant first partakes in a supervised/coached colonoscopy module session twice and then transitions to performing a colonoscopy module twice, unassisted. Objective measures will be assessed by the module software and supervising faculty. Specifically, using individuals' survey responses to see if early supervision improves survey scores. Survey questions focus on student learning, completing module objectives and faculty performance in simulation. The survey will also ask subjects to self-rate their scores and comfort level with endoscopy skills. Survey responses will not be linked to an individuals' performance in their program training and endoscopy coaches will not be made aware of the survey responses.

The small intestine is an understudied frontier of microbiome research. While aspiration during endoscopy is considered the gold standard to assess small bowel bacteria, the tools for sterile retrieval are primitive and poorly validated. Endoscopic aspiration is time-consuming and prone to contamination. Inspired by plants' ability to draw water by capillary action, a novel multi-capillary sterile system was designed which is a modified version of the conventional aspiration catheter. The purpose of this study is to examine the time and volume capabilities of this catheter in suctioning various liquids compared to conventional aspiration catheter, in two groups, each includes 23 patients that going under endoscopy at GI lab at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. The investigator will collect up to 2 ml fluid from Duodenum- in first group by using the conventional catheter and in second group by using the capillary catheter. The time collection and the volume of samples in 2 groups will be compared.

Nitrous oxide (commonly known as 'laughing gas') is often used during dental and other outpatient procedures, because it is easy to administer, is short-acting and rapidly clears from the body following the procedure. The investigators hypothesize that use of Nitrous oxide during GI endoscopy may enhance patient comfort during the procedure and speed-up post-procedure recovery, while minimizing the fatigue and mental fogginess some patients report the day after receiving standard sedative and narcotic drugs used routinely for the procedure. The investigators are interested in determining if adding Nitrous Oxide to commonly used sedation drugs will decrease fatigue, mental fogginess, and nausea/vomiting, as well as determine when the patient felt fully recovered from the effects of all sedatives given for the procedure.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a procedure called Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy reduces the risk of pancreatitis or the number of recurrent pancreatitis episodes in patients with pancreas divisum. ERCP with sphincterotomy is a procedure where doctors used a combination of x-rays and an endoscope (a long flexible lighted tube) to find the opening of the duct where fluid drains out of the pancreas. People who have been diagnosed with pancreas divisum, have had at least two episodes of pancreatitis, and are candidates for the ERCP with sphincterotomy procedure may be eligible to participate. Participants will be will be randomly assigned to either have the ERCP with sphincterotomy procedure, or to have a "sham" procedure. Participants will have follow up visits 30 days after the procedure, 6 months after the procedure, and continuing every 6 months until a maximum follow-up period of 48 months.

Hydrocephalus is a potentially debilitating neurological condition that primarily affects babies under a year of age and has traditionally been treated by inserting a shunt between the brain and the abdomen. A newer endoscopic procedure offers hope of shunt- free treatment that may reduce complications over a child's life, but it is not clear if the endoscopic procedure results in similar intellectual outcome as shunt. Therefore, the investigators propose a randomized trial to compare intellectual outcome and brain structural integrity between these two treatments, to help families make the best treatment decision for their baby.

The veteran population is at increased risk for EAC and its precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus (BE), due to increased prevalence of disease risk factors compared to the general population. BE is traditionally diagnosed only when patients undergo endoscopy with biopsies. However, due to the high cost of endoscopy and the lack of studies proving efficacy of screening, endoscopy to screen for BE is not routinely recommended. A simpler screening procedure similar to a pap smear would be an ideal way to sample the esophageal tissue for cancer and its precursor condition, BE. This study proposes a non-endoscopic detection method administered in outpatient offices which would increase subsequent endoscopic detection of BE. The study team will be enrolling veterans who do not have history of gastroesophageal reflux but have multiple risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Endoscopy clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Endoscopy clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Endoscopy trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Endoscopy is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Endoscopy medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
