About this study

A pilot study to assess the accuracy and acceptability of a magnet assisted capsule endoscopy in detecting esophageal pathology compared to standard endoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single centre feasibility study performed at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusts.

We will assess the accuracy of MACE compared to gastroscopy in diagnosing Barretts oesophagus and esophageal varices. Patients will have both tests on the same ay, with the endoscopic findings compared.

Being tested
Magnet assissted capsule endoscopy
Medical subject headings
Barrett Esophagus, Esophageal and Gastric Varices

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnet assissted capsule endoscopy in people with Barrett's Oesophagus and Oesophageal Varices, run by University of Nottingham at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Diagnostic accuarcy (time frame: immediate). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 10 Jan 2022.
