First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This small, completed study tested a device called NuView in 3 people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The goal was to see if the device helps doctors view the papilla, a small opening in the intestine, using a standard forward-facing endoscope. Participants had their usual upper endoscopy plus an extra look with the NuView device. The study was observational and focused only on whether the papilla could be seen.

Who is studied
Potential subjects will be identified from patients in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Digestive Disease Center who are scheduled to undergo their endoscopic screening for FAP. FAP is a hereditary condition in which a person develops numerous precancerous polyps, called adenomas, within the small and large intestine. Currently, it is recommended that FAP patients undergo serial endoscopic exams to assess the colon for polyp formation every year and every 2-3 years to look for adenomas in the small intestine-specifically on the duodenal papilla.
