About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of second generation colon capsule (C2) in evaluating colonic mucosal inflammation of ulcerative colitis patients, using conventional endoscopy as the gold standard.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis will be recruited. Second generation colon capsule endoscopy (C2) and conventional colonoscopy will be performed one after another on the same day. Colonic mucosal inflammation will be scaled by physicians who review C2 videos and those who perform conventional colonosocpies independently. Physicians who review C2 videos and colonoscopists will be blinded to the findings of colonoscopies and C2 videos, respectively.The accuracy of C2 in evaluating mucosal inflammation will be evaluated, using conventional endoscopy as the gold standard.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing C2 and colonoscopy in people with Colitis, Ulcerative, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 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 17 Jul 2018. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Number of participants with extent and severity of colonic inflammation (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT02469103, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Jul 2018.
