About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Video Capsule Colonoscopy for the Detection and the Control of Colon Lesions in Children Presenting Confirmed or Suspected Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is in a continuous progression both in adults as in children. The colonoscopy is considered as the gold standard exam for the diagnosis and the follow-up of the patients presenting or suspected to have an IBD. The follow-up and financial management of this kind of pathology is very much dependent on the quality of the endoscopic images. Because colonoscopy is an expensive and invasive technique which assumes a general sedation, many efforts have been done to develop new less expensive and less invasive techniques in order to offer alternatives to the classic colon endoscopy. One of these new techniques is the colon videocapsule (CVC) endoscopy (PillCam® colon 2 - Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel). This is a new promising semi-invasive endoscopic technique which has been successfully validated with adults. We hypothesize that the CVC can be used in children with similar results in terms of efficacy, as is the case for adults.

This prospective simple blind multicenter study, will investigate the diagnostic value of the CVC compared to the conventional colonoscopy under general sedation for the detection and the control of colon lesions in children presenting IBD.

If the feasibility and the efficacy of the colon video capsule technique are also proven for use with children, then this new technique might become a very interesting alternative for the endoscopic examination of the colon because of being less expensive and less invasive.

Moreover, this technique would be very useful as a means of lesions detection all along the digestive tract and not limited to the colon only.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Colon videocapsule endoscopy (PillCam colon 2)Device

    Also called PillCam colon 2

    This is a simple blind (blind for the lecture of the CVC record) study to evaluate the diagnostic value of the colon capsule endoscopy for the detection and the control of colon lesions, the feasibility, tolerance and safety of the CVC compared to the conventional colonoscopy under general sedation in children presented with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

    Over one week, the patient will undergo two exams (CVC and colonoscopy under general sedation). The exams will be done by two different physicians.

    In order to assess the tolerance, after the completion of both exams, the patients will be asked to answer a "comfort score" questionnaire.

    In order to assess the safety of the CVC, the patients will have a follow-up for adverse events over a 3 weeks period after completion of the CVC and only if the colon video capsule was not recovered during the conventional colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic value of the wireless colon capsule endoscopy

    The diagnostic value of the colon video capsule will be estimated based upon the calculated sensitivity of the colon video capsule for the detection and the control of colon lesions in children presented with IBD compared to the colonoscopy sensitivity.

    Measured: 1 week after the completion of the colon video capsule exam .

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Diagnostic and predictive value of the colon video capsule

    The diagnostic value expressed by the specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the colon video capsule compared to the results of the colonoscopy under general sedation.

    Measured: 1 week after the completion of the colon video capsule exam

  2. Diagnostic performance of the colon video capsule

    Percentage of the colon lesions successfully detected by the colon video capsule compared to the results recorded during the colonoscopy.

    Measured: 1 week after the completion of both endoscopic exams

  3. Evaluation of the feasibility and the acceptability by the patient of the colon video capsule compared to the colonoscopy under general sedation

    Based upon the comfort score calculated after a comfort questionnaire that the patient has been completed after the colon video capsule exam and colonoscopy have been performed

    Measured: 1 week after the completion of the colon video capsule exam

  4. Evaluation of the efficacy of the bowel preparation before the endoscopic examination of the colon

    The evaluation will be done using the Boston score.

    Measured: 1 week after the colon video capsule has been performed

  5. Descriptive analysis of the visualization and the progression of the colon video capsule over the different segments of the bowel

    The analysis will be based upon the description of the different lesions and the time of capsule progression in each bowel segment during the video capsule exam. The different segments will be defined taking into account the anatomic landmarks.

    Measured: 1 week after the colon video capsule has been performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Colon videocapsule endoscopy (PillCam colon 2) in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 7 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 15 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 7 sites in France. 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?

The diagnostic value of the wireless colon capsule endoscopy (time frame: 1 week after the completion of the colon video capsule exam .). 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 15 Jul 2019.
