AI could help doctors detect celiac disease during endoscopy
NCT ID NCT07387185
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence system can help doctors find signs of damage in the small bowel during endoscopy. The AI is trained to spot atrophy and other abnormalities linked to celiac disease and similar conditions. Researchers will compare the AI's accuracy to standard human review and biopsy results. The study involves 380 adults undergoing small bowel endoscopy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI could help doctors diagnose celiac disease and other gut conditions more accurately and quickly during endoscopy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, so the AI may not perform better than standard methods in real-world settings. It is not a treatment and does not directly benefit participants.
