Trial summary

Study hypothesis: PillCam SB3 is a new capsule designed to provide an improved image quality, and improved SB and duodenum tissue coverage due to Adaptive Frame Rate (AFR) of 2-6 fps, which will create more images for evaluation, and therefore should improve diagnostic accuracy.

About this study

Official title: Assessment the Performance of PillCam SB3 Capsule in Detecting Small Bowel Lesions in Patients

Study hypothesis: PillCam SB3 is a new capsule designed to provide an improved image quality, and improved SB and duodenum tissue coverage due to Adaptive Frame Rate (AFR) of 2-6 fps, which will create more images for evaluation, and therefore should improve diagnostic accuracy.

Proposed Design: to enroll up to 230 patients with symptoms suggesting the presence of small bowel disease.

Preparation for procedure will include 12 hours fasting prior to the capsule ingestion

Patients will undergo a standard capsule endoscopy. Patients will be allowed to drink clear liquids 2 hours post ingestion, and eat 4 hours post ingestion.

Diagnostic yield of the SB3 will be calculated The Physician's subjective assessment of capsule performance will be captured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing capsule endoscopy in people with Small/Large Bowel, run by Medtronic - MITG at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 5 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 1 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Israel, Romania, Spain, Sweden. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Precentage of SB3 Images That Were Graded as Superior in Image Quality to SB2 by the Physicians (time frame: up to 6 months from end of recruitment). 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 1 Aug 2019.
