Trial summary

The exploration of evocative symptoms of esophageal reflux disease or dyspepsia is based on a relatively invasive endoscopic examination, often badly tolerated, and which, in France, is carried out in 50% of the cases under general anaesthesia. Read more about this study

About this study

The exploration of evocative symptoms of esophageal reflux disease or dyspepsia is based on a relatively invasive endoscopic examination, often badly tolerated, and which, in France, is carried out in 50% of the cases under general anaesthesia. The development of a Capsule Endoscopy, of single use, of esophageal exploration (PILLCAM OESO), could allow a painless exploration of the oesophagus, without infectious risk.The aim of this study is to validate the information provided by the Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy compared to upper endoscopy in the screening of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease or dyspepsia . For that these patients, after being informed and to have given their signed assent, will initially have an exploration by Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy and then, the very same day or within 3 days maximum, a upper endoscopy'. The information provided by the Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy then by the upper endoscopy will be analyzed by investigators different. This study should make it possible to evaluate the parameters of specificity, sensitivity and predictive values of Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy in this indication.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the parameters of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To compare Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy and upper endoscopy in detection and classification of esophagitis.

  2. To determine the inter-observer agreement for the classification of esophagitis.

  3. To compare Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy and upper endoscopy in detection of stomachal or duodenal lesions.

  4. To evaluate the tolerance of the two examinations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Dyspepsia, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the parameters of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2008.
