Trial summary

Pillcam colon capsule (PCC) endoscopy is a novel strategy tool to inspect colon mucosa. The aim of the present study is to evaluate if PCC endoscopy is able to precisely investigate patients with ulcerative colitis and reach high consistency to conventional colonoscopy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PillCam Colon Capsule Endoscopy Versus Conventional Colonoscopy for the Detection of the Severity and Extent of Ulcerative Colitis

Pillcam colon capsule (PCC) endoscopy is a novel strategy tool to inspect colon mucosa. The aim of the present study is to evaluate if PCC endoscopy is able to precisely investigate patients with ulcerative colitis and reach high consistency to conventional colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

Symptomatic patients with confirmed ulcerative colitis (UC) were enrolled in this prospective single-center study. No sooner had patients gone through Pillcam colon capsule (PCC) endoscopy solution than they got conventional colonoscopy which is recognized as the "gold standard" examination technique. The extent of mucosal damage and inflammatory lesions during both modalities were recorded for comparison. In addition, the regimen of bowel preparation, completion rate, colonic cleanliness, compliance or adverse events were analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the accuracy of PCC endoscopy in the survey of ulcerative colitis compared with conventional compared with conventional

    the severity of patients investigated by PCC endoscopy and conventional colonoscopy the extent of evolved lesions extent investigated by PCC endoscopy and conventional colonoscopy the safety of PCC endoscopy course (eg: adverse events during bowel preparation and the course; the completion rate)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. the gastrointestinal transit time (transit time from ingestion to excretion), cecum arrival time (transit time from ingestion to the cecum), and colon residence time (transit time from the arrival in the cecum to excretion)

  2. clinical data such as age, gender,chief complaint

  3. the Mayo score of each case

  4. the quality of colonic preparation

    4 grades contain excellent, good, fair and poor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 8 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Evaluate the accuracy of PCC endoscopy in the survey of ulcerative colitis compared with conventional compared with conventional. 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 8 Nov 2011.
