Trial summary

PrevisEA is a noninvasive, disposable device that uses audio spectral analysis of sounds produced by the gastrointestinal tract to predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is most commonly associated with postoperative ileus (POI), but could be the result of other causes, such as early postoperative bowel… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Minimal-Risk, Multi-Center, Prospective, Clinical Trial to Evaluate the PrevisEA Device for Predicting Gastrointestinal Impairment

PrevisEA is a noninvasive, disposable device that uses audio spectral analysis of sounds produced by the gastrointestinal tract to predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is most commonly associated with postoperative ileus (POI), but could be the result of other causes, such as early postoperative bowel obstruction. GII is defined as failure of successful early oral re-feeding in a subject undergoing major abdominal surgery. For subjects who are allowed to resume a diet during the first 24 hours after surgery, a failure to successfully orally re-feed a subject is defined as presentation with emesis, requiring a reversal of diet, or the placement of a nasogastric tube on first postoperative day or later.

The device is considered non-significant risk (NSR). The device does not inform medical decisions in this study. Researchers will be blinded to results of the device during this study.

What participants receive

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

  • PrevisEA deviceDevice

    The PrevisEA device is placed and activated on the patient's abdomen immediately post-op (within 1 hour of the completion of surgery) and maintained in position for at least 12 hours, counting the number of times MH4 is detected within a four-minute period at hourly intervals. The device determines the MH4 biomarker counts at each hourly collection point and the data are stored on the device. Under normal conditions, transformations of the data are visualized on the display. For this clinical trial, the display is obscured. Therefore, no value will be displayed for interpretation since this is a non-intervention trial and the device is not intended to affect or influence the standard of care for study participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of the PrevisEA device

    The performance (accuracy) of the device in predicting development of GII will be assessed through evaluation of the primary outcome measures of sensitivity and specificity for the device.

    Measured: 1-14 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Positive predictive value (PPV)

    Measures will be analyzed by using available data only

    Measured: 1-14 days

  2. Negative predictive value (NPV)

    Measures will be analyzed by using available data only

    Measured: 1-14 days

  3. Overall percent agreement (OPA)

    Measures will be analyzed by using available data only

    Measured: 1-14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PrevisEA device in people with Gastrointestinal Complication, run by Entac Medical Inc. at 8 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Entac Medical Inc. (845-773-8473, previsea-001@clinicalresearchstrategies.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance of the PrevisEA device (time frame: 1-14 days). 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 13 Mar 2024.
