About this study

The investigators' study aims to compare the results of percutaneous endoscopic caecostomie (CPE) to optimal medical therapy in the treatment of patients with constipation refractory to medical treatment. The primary endpoint will be the quality of life assessed by the Gastrointestinal Quality Of Life Index (GIQLI) at one year. The secondary endpoints are digestive symptoms, Kess's constipation scores and Cleveland's incontinence score, tolerance of the Chait TrapdoorTM caecostomy catheter (CTCC) and the collection of possible complications. The patients included must meet the classification criteria of Rome III, have an elongated colonic transit time, have had a complete colonoscopy and be refractory to medical treatment including at least one stimulant laxative or suppositories or enemas retrograde.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chait Trapdoor caecostomie catheter and continuation of optimal medical therapy in people with Constipation, run by Nantes University Hospital at 3 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 14 inclusion and 9 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 27 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Quality of life (Gastrointestinal Quality Of Life Index) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02566746, 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 27 Jan 2023.
