Who may be able to join

  • Subject has short bowel syndrome, defined as 50% or less of expected bowel length based on subject age and/or height, and measured at the time of the subject's prior intestinal resection.
  • Minimum residual bowel length of 3 cm.

Who cannot join

  • Ultra-short bowel syndrome defined as less than 3 cm of bowel length.
  • Diagnosed Inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified (not Crohn's or ulcerative colitis)
  • Evidence of active or prior Crohn's disease.
  • Primary intestinal failure (i.e., without loss or resection of intestinal tissue).
  • Coagulopathy, as defined by INR > 1.4 or platelets < 100.
  • Known immunocompromised status including, but not limited to, individuals who have undergone organ transplantation, chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the past 12 months, who have clinically significant leukopenia, who are positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or whose immune status makes the subject a poor candidate for clinical trial participation in the opinion of the Investigator.

About this study

A Feasibility Study to Evaluate Safety and Probable Benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System for Distraction Enterogenesis in Adult and Pediatric Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome

Read the detailed description

This clinical investigation is a study to evaluate safety and probable benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System in pediatric and adult subjects with short bowel syndrome. This study is a single arm study and will enroll subjects ages 3 months to 65 years old at up to 10 study sites in the United States. This study will be open label; treatment allocation will be known by the subjects, the Principal Investigator and his medical staff. Recruitment is expected to occur over the course of 24-36 months.

Device placement will be administered during a standalone procedure or a previously planned procedure that is otherwise needed by the study subject. Subjects may receive up to 2 devices at one time and/or have multiple procedures over time based on clinical necessity Study objectives will be monitored by reviewing patient nutrition, weight, and stool assessment data. The study device will also monitored by radiographic examination to confirm location of the device and assess the safety and probable benefit of distraction enterogenesis until the device is removed or passes out of the intestine naturally. Patients will be followed while the study device is in situ and at 3 and 6 months post device passing or removal. Subjects may or may not be discharged from the hospital while participating in the study, and investigators may recommend that a subject stay in-patient for a portion or the entire length of study, depending on subject health.

What participants receive

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

  • Distraction Enterogenesis in Adult Patients with Short Bowel SyndromeDevice

    The surgeon verifies the intestinal diameter and selects the appropriate device diameter size. The device is introduced into the lumen of the intestine and advanced about 5-10cm. The surgeon uses 4-0 chromic sutures placed in the seromuscular layer to secure the XL1 Coil within the intestine. The surgeon places metal clips on proximal and distal sutures and in the mesentery adjacent to the XL1 Coil ends to mark the location for radiologic evaluation. The surgeon releases the XL1 Coil and closes the enterotomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Device and procedure related adverse events

    Incident rate of moderate or severe procedure and/or device related adverse events

    Measured: 4 to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess the lengthening of the small intestine

    Assess the lengthening of the small intestine via the Eclipse XL1 Coil.

    Measured: 4 to 6 months

  2. Improvement in overall nutritional status

    Improvement in overall nutritional status at 6 months post final implantation compared to pre-procedure as evidenced by change in parenteral, enteral, oral intake; stool frequency and quality; weight.

    Measured: 6 to 12 months
