About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Patients With Gastrointestinal Disease

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal diseases and disorders affect the throat, stomach, and intestines. There are many different kinds of these diseases. Clinical trials are being developed to study new ways to treat them. People who are interested in clinical trials need to be screened before they can take part in the studies. Researchers want to evaluate people with different stomach and intestine disorders to see if they are eligible for clinical trials.

Objectives:

  • To study people who have gastrointestinal disorders and see if they are eligible for clinical trials.

Eligibility:

  • Individuals at least 18 years of age who have or may have a gastrointestinal disorder.

Design:

  • Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood, urine, and stool samples will be collected. Imaging studies such as x-rays and ultrasound will check to see if the disorder has affected other organs.
  • Participants may have tests as needed depending on their disorder. These tests include the following:
  • Colonoscopy and endoscopy of the large intestine, esophagus, and stomach.
  • Stomach acid analysis to look at stomach pH levels.
  • Wireless capsule endoscopy to take pictures of the small intestine.
  • Hydrogen breath testing to study issues like bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.
  • Sitz Marker Study to see how fast stool moves through the colon.
  • Participants may donate extra blood, urine, or stool samples for study. They may also donate stomach contents or tissue from the gut.
  • Treatment will not be provided as part of this study. However, participants may be admitted to other clinical trials.
Read the detailed description

Patients with suspected or established acute or chronic gastrointestinal diseases are evaluated and treated in this protocol and will be screened for entry into other research protocols. This protocol serves several purposes: 1) allows for detailed inquiry into the gastrointestinal disorders of these patients and the status of other organ systems that would determine their ability to safely enroll in active Digestive Diseases Branch (DDB) research protocols; 2) allows investigators to offer clinical diagnostic testing, procedures, and treatment to patients if clinically indicated to facilitate their participation in clinical trials; 3) allows outpatient evaluation and treatment of patients with a variety of gastrointestinal diseases for the purposes of physician education in our accredited gastroenterology training program; and 4) After completion of the initial evaluation process, patients will either be offered a chance to participate in an active research protocol or, if no appropriate protocol is identified, patients may be seen long-term to follow the disease progression for potential future participation in DDB gastrointestinal studies. Recommendations for other treatment options outside of the NIH will be discussed with study patients and/or to their primary or referring physicians.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Diseases, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 18 Feb 2022. 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?

Patients with gastrointestinal disease (time frame: until protocol closes). 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 Feb 2022.
