All specialties →Third-space endoscopy
Peroral endoscopic myotomy and endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Potassium-competitive acid blockers
Vonoprazan and related acid suppressants.
AI in colonoscopy
Computer-aided polyp detection and characterisation during colonoscopy.
Blood and stool tests for colorectal cancer screening
Blood-based and multitarget stool tests for colorectal cancer screening.
Key point: Next-generation mt-sDNA and mt-sRNA are preferred 3-year stool options; blood-based tests should be recommended only when preferred screening tests are declined or incomplete.
JAK inhibitors in IBD
Upadacitinib, tofacitinib and filgotinib in inflammatory bowel disease.
Key point: Tofacitinib and filgotinib are efficacious in ulcerative colitis, and upadacitinib is efficacious in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Eosinophilic esophagitis
Diagnosis and newer treatments, including biologics, for eosinophilic esophagitis.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
("biliary obstruction"[tiab] OR "biliary stricture*"[tiab] OR "biliary stent*"[tiab]) AND (metal[tiab] OR metallic[tiab] OR plastic[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
