Trial summary

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become an established technique to investigate the presence of small bowel pathology. But the limited battery life of capsules can lead to incomplete small bowel visualization. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Domperidone on Completion Rate of Vedio Capsule Endoscopy: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become an established technique to investigate the presence of small bowel pathology. But the limited battery life of capsules can lead to incomplete small bowel visualization. There is a rationale to use prokinetic agents prior to VCE reduce the chances of an incomplete small bowel examination via decrease gastric transit time (GTT). Investigators are aimed to prospectively compare the completion rate of VCE in pediatric patients receiving prokinetic with those receiving no prokinetic.

Read the detailed description

Eligible children were randomly divided into two groups: domperidone prior to VCE and water prior to VCE. The primary outcome measure was the completion rate. Secondary outcome measures included the GTT and SBTT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Completion rate of capsule endoscopy

    CE was considered complete when the cecum was reached within recording time.

    Measured: assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Gastric transit time (GTT)

    The GTT was defined as the time, in minutes, from the first image of the stomach until the first image of the duodenum.

    Measured: assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. small bowel transit time (SBTT)

    The SBTT was defined as the passage time, in minutes, from the first image of the duodenum until the first image of the cecum.

    Measured: assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Domperidone and water in people with Capsule Endoscopy and Pediatric Disorder, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University 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 3 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 Dec 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 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?

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?

Completion rate of capsule endoscopy (time frame: assessed through study completion, an average of 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 NCT03662113, which also lists 2 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 17 Dec 2018.
