About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Gastrointestinal pH and Motility by Using the SmartPill® Motility Capsules After the Consumption of Milk in Symptomatic Milk Intolerant and Asymptomatic Subjects

This pilot study is designed as a monocentric, open label, interventional, parallel arms, controlled clinical trial. The aim of the study is to assess the gastrointestinal pH and motility after the consumption of milk.

The clinical study is categorized as an interventional research involving the human person with low risks and constraints (RIPH 2) and which does not assess a health product.

The milk and medical device used in this clinical study are both authorized and already commercialized in France.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Milk and SmartPill intakes in people with Healthy, run by Lactalis at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 24 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 22 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 1 site in France. 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: End of commercialization of the medical devices). 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?

The primary endpoint in this study is the AUC of pH, defined between 0 and 120 minutes after ingestion of milk, expressed in pH.min. (time frame: 2 hours). 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 22 Mar 2024.
