This study is testing a new device called the Capillary Endoscopy Aspiration Catheter. It's designed to collect fluid from your small intestine more efficiently during an upper endoscopy (a procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is used to look inside your digestive tract). The goal is to see if this new catheter can collect more fluid and do it faster than the standard Endoscopy Aspiration Catheter. Researchers are interested in improving how we study the small intestine's microbiota (the community of microorganisms living there) and conditions like SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You could join if you are between 18 and 85 years old and are already scheduled for an upper endoscopy. The study will measure the amount of fluid collected and how long it takes, over 5 minutes.

Study design

This study is comparing two different catheters in 46 participants. Each participant will receive either the standard catheter or the new capillary catheter during their endoscopy.

What's involved

You would undergo an endoscopy procedure as part of your regular medical care. During this procedure, either the standard or investigational catheter will be used to collect a small amount of fluid.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary measurements for this study are taken at 5 minutes during the aspiration process.
