This trial asks whether a supplement made from brown algae, called fucoidan, can improve gut health in people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Participants will take fucoidan or a placebo alongside their usual medication for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in …

This study tests a new medication, linaprazan glurate, to see if it heals esophagus damage from acid reflux better than a standard drug. About 500 adults with erosive esophagitis will take either the new drug or lansoprazole daily for up to 8 weeks. Doctors will use cameras to ch…

This phase 3 study tests two doses of Nexium (esomeprazole) in 53 children aged 1 to 11 years who have erosive esophagitis, a condition where stomach acid damages the esophagus. The goal is to see which dose better maintains healing after an initial 8-week treatment period. Child…

This early-stage study is testing whether a specially prepared membrane made from donated human tissue can help heal chronic wounds, like diabetic foot ulcers and eye surface injuries. The membrane is sterilized with different doses of radiation to find the best balance between s…

This study was designed to see if a new drug called linaprazan glurate could keep the esophagus healed in people with GERD-related erosive esophagitis, compared to an existing drug (lansoprazole). Participants would have taken daily pills for up to 52 weeks and had regular camera…

This study will follow 5,000 adults who have had endoscopic procedures for weight loss, such as stomach stapling through a scope or gastric balloons. Researchers will track weight, blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol for up to 10 years to see how well these procedures work …

This study aimed to see if a soft membrane placed on the eye could diagnose microbial keratitis (a serious eye infection) better and more comfortably than the standard scrape test. Researchers planned to compare the two methods in adults with new corneal infections. However, the …

This study screens 500 adults in South Florida for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can lead to chronic gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer. Those who test positive receive free treatment with a three-drug combination (VOQUEZNA® Triple Pak®) for 14 days. The goal is to see i…

This study screens people in South Florida for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can lead to chronic gastritis, ulcers, and even stomach cancer. Those who test positive receive treatment, and the study compares at-home breath testing versus in-person retesting to confirm the in…

This small study is testing Corplex P, a device made from donated human umbilical cord tissue, to see if it helps heal wounds that won't close on their own, like diabetic foot ulcers. Ten people will receive the device as part of their standard wound care. Researchers will track …

This study planned to test a mouthwash made from copaíba oil, a natural resin, to prevent and treat painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) in people with oral cancer undergoing radiation. The trial was set to include 40 patients, half using the copaíba mouthwash and half a placebo,…

This real-world study follows 33,000 cancer patients in France using the CareMin650™ device, which shines light on mouth sores and skin burns caused by chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is to see if this light therapy reduces the severity of these painful side effects. Research…

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly into grade III ulcers can speed up healing. PRP is made from a small amount of the patient's own blood, processed to concentrate healing factors. Fifty adults with ulcers older than two weeks will receive eith…

This study was designed to test the safety and performance of the Avelle negative pressure wound therapy system on chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. The device uses gentle suction to help wounds heal. However, the study was withdrawn before enr…

This study tests whether a safe green dye, injected during gastric bypass surgery, can help surgeons see blood flow to the new stomach connection. Poor blood flow can lead to ulcers, leaks, or narrowing. The trial involves 300 adults and will follow them for two years to see if u…

This study was designed to see how well the stomach-acid drug dexlansoprazole is absorbed before and after gastric bypass surgery, and how often ulcers occur afterward. It planned to enroll smokers with obesity who were scheduled for surgery. However, the study was withdrawn befo…

This study tracks 500 adults with conditions like acid reflux, achalasia, or complications after weight-loss surgery. Participants choose either a newer endoscopic procedure (done through a scope) or standard surgery. Researchers will compare how well each approach controls sympt…

This study is checking how many people with suspected hemorrhagic proctosigmoiditis (a type of bowel inflammation) actually have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like chlamydia or gonorrhea. Researchers will take a swab during a routine colonoscopy from 214 patients across …
