About this study

Official title: Gastrointestinal Motility in Patients Suffering From Severe Ulcerative Colitis Obtained by Motilis-3D-transit

The purpose of this study is to describe gastrointestinal (GI) motility in patients suffering from severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and to compare these results with similar results obtained in remission.

The study is done with the use of Motilis 3D-Transit system which consists of a small electronic capsule ingested and detected by a receiver carried by the patient. Position and orientation of the capsule are interpreted by dedicated computer software and transit times, progression velocity and contraction frequencies can be revealed.

The study is mainly descriptive and is designed to test and evaluate the usefulness of the Motilis 3D Transit system in UC patients and to tell investigators more about GI motility during and after severe inflammation.

Motilis 3D-Transit system gives investigators a unique chance to study the gastrointestinal canal as a whole during and after severe illness.

The investigators expect to include 20 patients suffering from severe UC admitted to Hospital with the purpose of getting medical treatment. The investigators do not expect any drop out, but in case of drop out a new patient will be included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Velocity of progression through the inflamed part of the colon in severe UC compared to the velocity of progression in the corresponding colonic segment in quiescent UC.

    Measured: Three days from baseline visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Velocity of progression through the non-inflamed colonic segments in severe UC compared to the velocity of progression in the corresponding colonic segments in quiescent UC.

    Measured: Three days from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact AnneMette Haase, ph.d student (+45 61658483, annemette.haase@ki.au.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Velocity of progression through the inflamed part of the colon in severe UC compared to the velocity of progression in the corresponding colonic segment in quiescent UC. (time frame: Three days from baseline visit). 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 7 Jan 2014.
