About this study

Official title: A Prospective Trial of Wireless Capsule Endoscopy in Small-Bowel Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the best role for capsule endoscopy in diagnosing Crohn's disease.

Read the detailed description

Wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved technology that allows viewing of the entire small-bowel. Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a pill-sized camera that sends images to a data recorder worn on a vest. Because Crohn's disease (CD) often involves the small bowel, we would like to find out if capsule endoscopy is useful in diagnosing small-bowel Crohn's disease. Current methods for diagnosing small-bowel Crohn's disease include colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), enteroscopy (ENT), single contrast barium small-bowel follow through (SBFT), and double contrast small-bowel enteroclysis (SBE), but these tests are unable to identify the presence or extent of small-bowel disease in many patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare capsule endoscopy (CE) finding with traditional findings (colonoscopy and small-bowel follow through [SBFT]) in patients with known Crohn's disease

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the extent and severity of CE determined small-bowel involvement in patients with known Crohn's disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Capsule Endoscopy in people with Crohn's Disease, run by University of Rochester 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 1 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2015. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Compare capsule endoscopy (CE) finding with traditional findings (colonoscopy and small-bowel follow through [SBFT]) in patients with known Crohn's disease. 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 18 Sep 2015.
