This study aims to see if two different doses of a new medication called vonaprazan work as well as or better than the standard drug esomeprazole for healing severe damage caused by acid reflux in the esophagus. About 414 adults with confirmed, moderate-to-severe reflux damage wi…

This study is comparing a new AI-assisted robotic surgical stapler to standard staplers during colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the smart stapler, which uses artificial intelligence to help guide the surgeon, can reduce the rate of dangerous leaks where the intest…

This study is testing whether a non-surgical weight loss procedure, combined with diet and exercise, can improve obstructive sleep apnea better than lifestyle changes alone. Researchers will compare two groups of adults with obesity and moderate-to-severe sleep apnea over 12 mont…

This study tests whether removing a drainage stent earlier (at 2 weeks) with a smaller backup stent leads to fewer complications and less recurrence of pancreatic fluid collections compared to standard removal at 4 weeks. It involves 408 adults with a specific type of pancreatic …

This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to help doctors perform certain delicate endoscopic procedures more safely. The AI highlights blood vessels in real-time on the screen during surgery, aiming to help the surgeon avoid cutting them accidentally…

This study is testing a computer model that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors decide which patients need a scan to check for gallstones in the bile duct. It aims to reduce the number of people who undergo unnecessary, expensive, or invasive imaging tests. The study wil…

This study aims to understand how often dangerous blood clots form in the major abdominal veins of people hospitalized with acute pancreatitis. Researchers will observe 500 patients to see if these clots are more common in severe cases of the disease. The goal is to gather inform…

This study aims to see if a simpler, portable ultrasound scan can be as useful as a colonoscopy for monitoring ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, while also having a much smaller environmental footprint. Researchers will compare the two methods in 200 patients to measure bot…

This study aims to measure and compare the carbon footprint of two common medical tests used to check for gallstones in the bile duct. Researchers will enroll 200 adults who need either an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or an MRI scan (MRCP) to see which procedure has a lower enviro…
