NCT ID NCT07363291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a standardized quality system for confocal enteroscopy, a technique that lets doctors see cells in real time during a small bowel exam. Researchers will enroll 600 people aged 18-70 who need small bowel endoscopy, along with certified gastroenterologists. The goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce complications for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease.
