About this study

Official title: Gastric Preparation of Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy: A Prospective, Single Blinded and Randomized Controlled Trial

By using three different Gastric Preparation of Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy, the investigators hope to find out the optimal gastric preparation plan.

Read the detailed description

It is a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Patients who were conducted by Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy at Changhai Hospital will be randomly allocated into three different Gastric Preparation group before the procedure. It include clear water group which patient only drink 1000ml clear water before checking; simethicone group which patient drink 950ml clear water and 15ml simethicone before checking; simethicone combined with pronase group which patient drink 900ml lear water and 15ml simethicone and 20,000iu pronase before checking. The result were got from a relevant professional physician's blinded independent image-reading.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • clear waterOther

    the patients just drink common clear water before Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy examination

  • simethiconeDrug

    the patients drink clear water and simethicone (Espumisan; Berlin-Chemie, Germany, containing 40 mg simethicone in 1 mL emulsion) before Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy examination

  • simethicone combined with pronaseDrug

    the patients drink simethicone (Espumisan; Berlin-Chemie, Germany, containing 40 mg simethicone in 1 mL emulsion),pronase granules(Deyou;Beijing Tide Pharmaceutical Co,China,containing 20,000iu pronase),and clear water before Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy examination

What is being measured

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

  1. the level of gastric cleansing

    Two investigators who did not know which kind of gastric preparation of the patient scored the level of gastric cleansing 0f 120 participants according to a four-point grading scale: poor, fair, good, and excellent,which was pointed 3,2,1,and 0.The investigators should evaluate the gastric cleansing of six anatomical landmarks (cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum and pylorus).A poor level of cleansing indicated the mucosa was obscured largely by a lot of air bubbles and grume,fair indicated that a portion of the mucosa was obscured by air bubbles and grume that was enough to prevent a reliable visualization of polyps, good indicated that a small amount of air bubbles and grume,and excellent indicated that the fluid was clear and the image was either free or had only small bits of air bubbles and grume.

    Measured: 4 month

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Transit time

    include gastric transit time,smal bowel transit time

    Measured: 4 month

  2. Diagnostic yield of Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy

    The gastric focal lesion was defined as any of the positive findings including polyp, ulcers, submucosal tumor (SMT) and others (i.e. xanthoma, diverticulum, etc.). Erosion, gastritis and gastric atrophy were defined as negative findings, because they are diffuse lesions which can be easily diagnosed by Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy.

    Measured: 4 month

  3. Tolerability of participants

    The endoscopist scored the tolerability of participants according to a three-point grading scale: poor, fair, and excellent,which was pointed 2,1,and 0.A poor tolerability of participants indicated patients with perforated severe abdominal pain,nausea, vomiting,etc.fair indicated patients with perforated little abdominal pain,nausea, vomiting.and excellent indicated that patients with no obvious discomfort.

    Measured: 4 month

  4. the visibility of gastric

    Two investigators scored the level of gastric visibility 0f 120 participants according to a four-point grading scale: poor, fair, good, and excellent,which was pointed 3,2,1,and 0.The investigators should evaluate the visibility of gastric of six anatomical landmarks (cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum and pylorus).A poor level of cleansing indicated the less than 50% of mucosa could be seen,fair indicated that 50%-75% of the mucosa could be seen, good indicated that more than 75% of the mucosa could be seen,and excellent indicated the whole mucosa could be seen.

    Measured: 4 month

  5. the time of gastric examination

    the time indicated since the first gastric mucosal image was observed to the endoscopist completed the whole gastric examination。

    Measured: 4 month

  6. the added amount of water of the whole process during gastric examination

    Measured: 4 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing clear water, simethicone and simethicone combined with pronase in people with Stomach Diseases, run by Changhai Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Zhuan Liao (liaozhuan@smmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the level of gastric cleansing (time frame: 4 month). 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 27 Jul 2016.
