About this study

Official title: RD-41 Development of Applications of the Bravo® pH Monitoring System and Evaluation of Its Performance

Study Hypothesis: This study is designed as an integral part of the development of new or improved features or components of the Bravo® pH Monitoring System and may serve verification and validation purposes.

The study population will include symptomatic patients with known or suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease

Read more

Symptomatic patients will undergo invasive procedure, including Bravo capsule delivery, positioning and attachment. Confirmation of capsule attachment may be done endoscopically.

These procedures will serve to evaluate overall system performance in actual clinical setup, for instance: ergonomics and performance of delivery device, capsule transmission etc.

Physician may be asked to provide feedback on the procedure and/or document their activities during the procedure.

Read the detailed description

The study population consists of symptomatic patients with known or suspected gastro esophageal reflux disease. The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate Bravo® pH Monitoring System.

Primary objectives

  • To evaluate usability and functionality of the Bravo® pH Monitoring System and procedure
  • To evaluate modifications to the Bravo delivery device Primary Endpoints
  1. Evaluate physician subjective assessment questionnaire (appendix 3)
  2. Percentage of successful capsule attachments Patients will undergo standard-of-care Bravo pH procedure. Prior to the pH study, the patient should not eat or drink for a minimum of 6 hours, according to the standard system instructions.
  • Bravo procedure may take 48-96 hours
  • Patients will have a follow-up visit or call, one to two weeks after the procedure
  • A fluoroscopy procedure may be ordered at physician's discretion to verify capsule attachment \ detachment from the patient's esophagus

Over all expected duration for subject's participation in the study will be a maximum of 1 month

Physician may be asked to provide feedback on the procedure usability and functionality and to document their activities during the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bravo pH monitoring procedure in people with Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, run by Medtronic - MITG at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2019. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 physician subjective assessment questionnaire (time frame: post Bravo pH monitoring pinning procedure, same day of procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jul 2019.
