About this study

Official title: Repetitive Position Change After Dimethicone Premedication Improves Gastric Cleanliness for Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy: a Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

By comparing dimethicone administration with/without subsequent repetitive position change before magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) examination, the investigators aim to determine the efficacy of repetitive position change in improving gastric cleanliness for MCE examination.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Subjects receiving magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy at the institution will be randomly allocated into positional change group and conventional group before the procedure. Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the position change group will be instructed to repeatedly change the body position according to a pre-specified protocol for a period of 15 min: in the order of supine to the left lateral position to prone, left lateral, supine, right lateral, and repeat last four positions twice, each for 1 min; finally supine for 1 min. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects in both groups will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively, and undergo MCE examination. Gastric cleanliness will be rated by two physicians independently.

What is being measured

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

  1. Image Cleanliness of Gastric Cavity

    The image cleanliness of gastric cavity of six primary anatomical landmarks of stomach (cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum, and pylorus) were recorded for evaluation. A 4-point grading scale was introduced to define the cleanliness as excellent (no adherent mucus and foam: score 4), good (mild mucus and foam but does not obscure vision: score 3), fair (considerable amount of mucus or foam present precluding a completely reliable examination: score 2) and poor (large amount of mucus or foam residue needing water to clear it: score 1)

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The Type of Positive Findings Detected by Magnetically Controlled Capsule Gastroscopy

    Positive findings defined as any pathology detected by Magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG), including polyps, ulcer, gastric fundus varices, submucosal tumor, and carditis.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Safety of MCCG, or adverse events, defined as symptoms or signs such as abdominal distention, nausea, or vomiting, were monitored closely during the MCCG procedure. Capsule retention (i.e., a capsule endoscope remaining in the gastrointestinal tract for more than two weeks or a capsule endoscope that requires directed intervention or therapy to aid its expulsion) was monitored and followed up for up to two weeks.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Position change group in people with Stomach Diseases, 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 9 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Image Cleanliness of Gastric Cavity (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 NCT03514966, 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 9 Jul 2019.
