About this study

To show that prevalence of inflammation of the small bowel in patients with anorectal disease is under-diagnosed based on colonoscopy ileoscopy alone.

Read the detailed description

IBD of the small bowel is associated with perianal disease such as ano-rectal abscesses and fistulas. Colonoscopy with ileoscopy and small bowel series are relied upon to document the presence of Crohn's disease of the small bowel. We suspect that the prevalence of inflammatory small bowel disease is underestimated.

In my practice I have cases that had negative colonoscopy ileoscopy and positive findings at capsule endoscopy. These patients are receiving therapy for Crohn's disease. It is important to prove that the prevalence is higher.

Capsule Endoscopy (CE) is the "first line tool" diagnostic procedure for the examination of the small bowel. It is performed today in more than 2,900 GI clinics in hospitals, outpatient departments and physicians' offices all over the world using the PillCam® Platform. Over 500,000 CE procedures with the Given PillCam SB have been completed to date.

What participants receive

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

  • capsule endoscopyDevice

    The disposable, ingestible PillCam® SB2 Capsule acquires the video images during natural propulsion through the digestive system. The Capsule transmits the acquired images via digital radio frequency communication channel to the Given® Data Recorder unit located outside the body.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Inflammation as Diagnosed by Capsule Endoscopy

    The capsule endoscopy findings were carefully examined by specialists in the field. findings such as erosions, edema, erythema and ulceration in significant areas of the intestine led to the clinical diagnosis of crohn's disease. all together 6 patients were diagnosed as suffering from crohn's disease.

    Measured: up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing capsule endoscopy in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Perianal Fistula, run by Bikkur Holim Hospital at 3 sites in Israel.

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 9 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jun 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Prevalence of Inflammation as Diagnosed by Capsule Endoscopy (time frame: up to 7 days). 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 24 Jun 2013.
