About this study

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NaviAid™ AB in children with known or suspected IBD.

Read the detailed description

In 15%-25% of diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases, disease manifestation begins before the age of 18. IBD primary includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Studies have shown that the current incidence of pediatric IBD ranges from 4-7 cases per 100,000, worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis of IBD is important for correct prognosis, course of disease, therapeutic decisions and follow-up. Complete diagnostic work-up is key to proper diagnosis in patients.Early diagnosis of IBD and differentiation between UC and CD can be difficult in children. The major issues that face pediatric IBD today include accurate disease classification, unknown extent of disease, complete bowel visualization, inability to reach depth of findings, and biopsy retrieval for diagnostic work-up.

The NaviAid™ AB device presents a new and unique concept that helps overcome these short comings of IBD diagnosis and treatment. Through repetitive inflation and deflation of the NaviAid™ AB, the endoscope can be swiftly advanced deep into the small bowel via the proximal or distal route, allowing for complete visualization of the small bowel and easy biopsy sampling for histopathology. As a result, subsequent diagnoses can influence proper action for further treatment and therapy for the patient. Although many studies have reported on the safety and efficacy of balloon enteroscopy in adults with IBD, further investigation of the value of balloon enteroscopy in pediatric patients with known or suspected IBD is still required.

This is a single-center, non-randomized open-label study intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NaviAid™ AB device during small bowel enteroscopy in children with known or suspected IBD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of serious adverse events

    Patients will be followed up during the study period (3 hours) and once again 48-72 hours following the procedure. At both times, serious adverse events will be assessed.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed up with in 72 hours following the procedure.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of findings

    Histology results will be used to assess this outcome

    Measured: Up to 14 days (histology)

  2. Procedural times

    Measured: During procedure

  3. Depth of insertion

    Measured: During procedure

  4. Ease of use

    Ease of use will be scored using a scale of "Easy" Neutral" or "Difficult"

    Measured: During procedure

  5. Classification of disease

    Histology results will be used to assess this outcome

    Measured: Up to 14 days (histology)

  6. Extension of disease

    Histology results will be used to assess this outcome

    Measured: Up to 14 days (histology)

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2016. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Efrat Broide (08-9779722, efibroide@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of serious adverse events (time frame: Subjects will be followed up with in 72 hours following the procedure.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02629211, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
