This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

Summary

This study is testing whether a tiny camera in a pill (colon capsule endoscopy) can find colorectal cancer or precancerous growths in people who have had a bloodstream infection with certain gut bacteria. About 100 adults will swallow the camera 4-8 weeks after leaving the hospital. The goal is to see how common hidden colon tumors are in this group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
PillCam Colon 2 (colon capsule endoscopy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that colon capsule endoscopy is a useful tool to find hidden colorectal cancers in patients with certain bloodstream infections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The capsule may miss some tumors, and results may not apply to the general population.
