  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (≥18 years old) who have symptoms of small bowel disease or suspected GI bleeding;

About this study

Official title: Performance Evaluation of the NaviCam SB Capsule Endoscope System in Comparison to the PillCam SB3 Capsule System for the Diagnosis of Small Bowel Diseases

This study uses a comparative method to evaluate the performance of the NaviCam SB capsule endoscope system in comparison to the PillCam SB3 capsule system for the diagnosis of small bowel diseases.

Read the detailed description

This study adopts a prospective and self-controlled design. The subjects are adult patients (≥18 years old) who have symptoms of small bowel disease or suspected GI bleeding; Subjects swallow two types of SB capsules approximately 40 minutes apart in a randomized order. During the capsule endoscopy, the doctor can view the small bowel images taken by the capsules in real time. This study adopts a method of independent image reading in the participating centers. Two physicians of digestive endoscopy respectively review the images captured by the experimental capsule and the control capsule for normal versus abnormal findings, type of findings and categorization (lesions, polyps, bleeding, etc.), capsule transit time, reading time, and image quality.

Being tested
NaviCam SB, PillCam SB3

What participants receive

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

  • NaviCam SBDevice

    Subjects swallow two types of SB capsules approximately 40 minutes apart in a randomized order. During the capsule endoscopy, the doctor can view the small bowel images taken by the capsules in real time.

  • PillCam SB3Device

    Subjects swallow two types of SB capsules approximately 40 minutes apart in a randomized order. During the capsule endoscopy, the doctor can view the small bowel images taken by the capsules in real time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic agreement rate

    The diagnosis of subjects by the two types of small bowel capsule endoscopes through independent image reading, that is, the agreement between the two systems with respect to the diagnosis of normal or abnormal subject.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Intestinal transit time

    The time from capsule swallowing to capsule excretion

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Ease of swallowing the capsule

    The subject's supervisor determines how easy it is to swallow the capsule and which of the following feelings is very easy, easy, moderate, difficult, or very difficult.

    Measured: 14 days

  3. diagnosis rate

    Comparison of the diagnosis rate (examination results within one week before or after enrollment) with other standard mucosal imaging tools (upper GI endoscopy, enteroscopy, colonoscopy, etc.)

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Quality of small bowel images

    Comparison of the quality of small intestine pictures taken with the two capsules

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Image reading time

    Comparison of the reading times of the two capsules

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NaviCam SB and PillCam SB3 in people with Small Bowel Disease, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology 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 3 inclusion and 15 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 18 Sep 2023. 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?

Diagnostic agreement rate (time frame: 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 18 Sep 2023.
