Read our Colorectal Cancer research guide →This trial is testing a colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) — a swallowable camera device about the size of a large vitamin — to examine your colon when a standard colonoscopy hasn't worked as well as needed. The researchers want to understand how well and safely this capsule camera can find polyps and other problems in patients who had incomplete standard colonoscopies, prefer to avoid general anesthesia, or chose not to undergo the traditional procedure after preparation.
Some patients cannot complete a standard colonoscopy due to difficulty reaching the entire colon, want to avoid general anesthesia, or simply prefer not to have the procedure. This trial exists to see if the swallowable camera can be a safe and effective alternative, especially when combined with information from an incomplete colonoscopy.

If you qualify, you will swallow a small capsule camera and wear a recording device on your body for about 8 hours as the capsule travels through your colon and takes pictures. The capsule is passed naturally in your stool after the examination. You may be asked to return for follow-up visits to review results and discuss findings with your doctor.
