Trial summary

This study is to examine the benefits of newly designed capsule with enhanced frame rate and wide angle compared to standard endoscopy, which may help enhance detecting esophageal diseases that otherwise may have been out of vision in the standard endoscopy, ultimately decreasing healthcare costs.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Performance Characteristics of Capsule Endoscopy With PillCam UGI Capsule Compared to Standard Endoscopy for Screening of Barrett's Esophagus: A Prospective Tandem Study

This study is to examine the benefits of newly designed capsule with enhanced frame rate and wide angle compared to standard endoscopy, which may help enhance detecting esophageal diseases that otherwise may have been out of vision in the standard endoscopy, ultimately decreasing healthcare costs.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot, single center, prospective, tandem study. All veteran patients with Barrett's esophagus scheduled for an upper EGD at Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Kansas City, MO, USA) for check-up of BE will be asked to swallow the pillcam prior to an EGD. A member of the research team will approach a potential subject to discuss participation in the study, including background of the proposed study, inclusion and exclusion criteria, benefits and risks of the procedures and follow-up. If this is of interest to the subject, the informed consent form is discussed and presented. The subject must sign the consent form prior to enrollment. This form will have prior approval of the study site's Institutional Review Board (IRB). Failure to obtain informed consent renders the subject ineligible for the study

Eligible subjects at the participating institution who meet the inclusion criteria for this study will be offered the opportunity to participate in this clinical trial. To ensure that subjects are approached for potential study participation without bias, a Subject Screening Log will be maintained. This Log will track the basic demographic information of each subject approached for clinical trial inclusion and the resulting reason for exclusion from the clinical study if applicable.

The duration of the study is expected to be approximately 12 months. Enrollment of Study patients will cease when approximately 20 patients have been enrolled.

What participants receive

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

  • Pill camDevice

Receives: Device: Pill cam; Other: EGD

What is being measured

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

  1. The overall diagnostic accuracy of capsule endoscopy in predicting the presence and extent of Barrett's esophagus in comparison to standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy

    The ability to accurately predict the presence of Barrett's esophagus by capsule endoscopy and standard EGD will be measured.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Treatment related adverse events of capsule endoscopy in comparison to standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy

    Wireless capsule endoscopy is generally considered safe. Potential risks resulting from capsule endoscopy are reported low and may include discomfort while swallowing, accidental aspiration and capsule retention leading to small bowel obstruction and perforation. the investigator will measure tolerability of capsule endoscopy as well as standard endoscopy using visual analogue scale.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Barrett Esophagus, run by Midwest Biomedical Research at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 19 Jan 2018. 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 United States. 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?

The overall diagnostic accuracy of capsule endoscopy in predicting the presence and extent of Barrett's esophagus in comparison to standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03167970, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 Jan 2018.
