About this study

Official title: A Double-center Self-controlled Comparative Study of the Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy Versus Standard Gastroscopy for Gastric Diseases

Passive video capsule endoscopy is the criterion standard for small-bowel diseases but cannot be used for the large gastric cavity.This blinded prospective study investigates the accuracy of the magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy compared to gastroscopy in patients with gastric symptoms and indication for upper GI Endoscopy.

Being tested
MCE, Standard gastroscopy

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
magnetic-controlled capsule endoscocpy (MCE)Experimentalpatients were assigned to swallow MCE first, followed by the gastroscopy
Receives: Device: MCE; Device: Standard gastroscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy(MCE) Versus Standard Gastroscopy in the diagnosis of diffuse and local lesions

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Examination times of capsule and standard gastroscopy

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Patient acceptance of capsule gastroscopy and standard gastroscopy

    Measured: 3 days

  3. Adverse events of both procedures

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing MCE and Standard gastroscopy in people with Gastric Symptoms and Indicated for Upper GI Endoscopy, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2015. 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 China. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Accuracy of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy(MCE) Versus Standard Gastroscopy in the diagnosis of diffuse and local lesions (time frame: 2 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01903629, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 21 Jul 2015.
