About this study

The main objective of the study is to determine the ability of the C-Scan system to identify subjects who are at elevated risk for colon polyps. This will be evaluated by comparing the C-Scan data to colonoscopy data. The C-Scan procedure is therefore performed before the colonoscopy procedure, in order to compare these tests and evaluate the C-Scan system's effectiveness.

During the C-scan procedure, Subjects will be asked to come for an appointment in a clinic, during this appointment, the C-Scan Track will be placed on the participant's back. The participant will then be asked to swallow the C-Scan capsule whereafter they are free to continue their routine. Participants will start intake of fiber pills 5 days, and contrast agent 48 hours prior to C-Scan capsule ingestion and will continue intake up to the capsule's natural excretion.

A standard colonoscopy procedure will be performed within 60 days following C-Scan Cap ingestion.

What participants receive

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

  • C-Scan SystemDevice

    Also called Optical colonoscopy

    Subjects will be provided with contrast agent and dietary fiber pills, and instructed to start intake of fiber pills 5 days, and contrast agent 48 hours prior to scheduled C-Scan capsule ingestion. C-Scan system intervention includes ingestion of the C-Scan Cap and attachment of the C-Scan Track to the subject's lower back. The subject is required to keep the C-Scan Track attached to the lower back and to continue intake of contrast agent and dietary fiber pills until the C-Scan Cap's natural excretion. Standard of care optical colonoscopy will be performed within 60 days from the C-Scan Cap ingestion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Demonstrate the accuracy of the C-Scan system in identifying subjects with colon polyps comparing to optical colonoscopy (OC).

    For each subject the primary efficacy endpoints are dichotomous diagnosis using the C-Scan device (Test) and optical colonoscopy (Reference standard).

    Reference standard will be considered "positive" ("1") if at least one polyp of at least 6 mm is found.

    Test will be considered with elevated risk for polyps ("1") if either at least one polyp of at least 6 mm is found or long WGTT* occurred.

    The above endpoints will be used to calculate sensitivity and specificity examined in the primary analysis.

    *Long WGTT is defined as more than 73 hours for male and more than 97 hours for female.

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Negative predictive value for ruling out polyps of at least 10 mm.

    Reference standard will be considered "positive" ("1") if at least one polyp of at least 10 mm is found.

    Measured: 60 days

  2. Sensitivity of C-Scan for detecting polyps of at least 10mm.

    Reference standard will be considered "positive" ("1") if at least one polyp of at least 10 mm is found.

    Measured: 60 days

  3. Demonstrate the safety of the C-Scan System

    Frequency of patients who experienced device or procedure related serious adverse events up to 7±3 days from capsule excretion. In addition, AEs and SAEs will be presented by severity and relation to device and procedure.

    Measured: 7±3 days from capsule excretion

  4. Demonstrate subjects' satisfaction and usability with the C-Scan System

    This will be assessed via a descriptive analysis using a questionnaire

    Measured: 7±3 days from capsule excretion

  5. Demonstrate subjects' satisfaction with the C-Scan System compared to optical colonoscopy

    This will be assessed via a descriptive analysis using a questionnaire

    Measured: 4-10 days post colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing C-Scan System in people with Healthy, run by Check-Cap Ltd. at 3 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 5 inclusion and 29 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Check Cap board of directors decision to stop all company activities including clinical trails). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Demonstrate the accuracy of the C-Scan system in identifying subjects with colon polyps comparing to optical colonoscopy (OC). (time frame: 60 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 28 Jul 2023.
