Clinical Trials

OVERVIEW

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology conducts clinical trials on novel therapeutics for various liver diseases, bringing promising and innovative therapies to our patients.

Our team has extensive experience selecting the right patients for the right trials.

Clinical trials are an important part of the research involved in developing new medical treatments. Enrolling in a clinical trial enables participants to take an active role in their own health care, gain entrance to new research, and contribute to medical science.

Participants must meet specific criteria to be eligible for enrollment in a clinical trial. Some research studies seek participants with illnesses or specific conditions to be studied in the clinicaltrial, while others ask for healthy participants.

CURRENT AND ONGOING TRIALS

Advanced Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Imaging

To develop new methods to detect malignant and premalignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

Stanford Investigator(s):

Intervention(s):

  • device: Dual axis endoscopic microscope
  • device: wide field fluorescence system
  • device: CellVizio
  • drug: fluorescent Peptide

  • drug: indocyanine green

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:patients be at least 18 years of age,

Either genders

All ethnic backgrounds will be considered.

Patients who are scheduled for endoscopy by one of the investigators will be asked if they

The study will be open to all patients undergoing endoscopy that do not have exclusion
criteria. We will ask all patients if they are participating in any other studies. If they
are participating in any other study then we will ask them for more information to
determine whether there could be any harm from participating in both studies and if there
is then they will not be enrolled. Exclusion Criteria:Patients with unstable vital signs
