What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tulip capsuleDevice
swallowing Tulip capsule for up to 29 days
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tulip capsule | Experimental | swallowing Tulip capsule for up to 29 days Receives: Device: Tulip capsule |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of subjects with device related serious adverse events
Safety will be assessed descriptively by summarizing device related SAEs, gastroscopic examination, daily diary, vital sign measurements, physical examination and abdomen circumference.
Measured: 36 days
Secondary outcomes (2)
Patient assessment of capsule tolerability
Comfort and tolerability will be assessed by the patient and will be recorded in a daily diary. Tolerability evaluation will include: assessment of swallow ability, gastrointestinal comfort, defecation effort, appetite.
Measured: 36 days
Satisfying evacuation of the balloon from the stomach after oral intake
Number of subjects showing satisfying evacuation of the balloon from the stomach after oral intake by means of a gastroscopic examination
Measured: 36 days
