About this study

Official title: Measurement and Analysis of Gas Composition in Digestive Tract: a Prospective, Single-center Observational Study

The purpose of this study is to detect the concentration of various gases,including hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide in different parts of the digestive tract by a safe and direct method, and to establish a human digestive tract gas profiles. Analyze the differences in gas components in different segments of the digestive tract in patients with different diseases, and analyze the correlation between specific gases and digestive tract diseases and non-specific symptoms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentrations of different gas in digestive tract

    Concentrations of H2, CH4, NO and H2S in various parts of digestive tract

    Measured: immediately after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation between digestive tract and breath test

    Correlation between concentration levels of H2, CH4, NO and H2S in various parts of digestive tract and breath test

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

  2. Differences in concentrations of H2, CH4, NO, and H2S in the digestive tract between patients with different gastrointestinal diseases and normal individuals.

    The diagnosis of imflammtory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal neoplasms, helicobacter pylori infection and functional dyspepia refer to Chinese guidelines or expert consensus. The gas sample will be taken through the biopsy port during endoscopy. The concentration of H2, CH4, NO and H2S will be assessed by chemical gas sensor. The measured concentration of H2 and CH4 is one part per million(ppm). For NO and H2S, the measured concentration is one part per billion (ppb). For different disease groups, the difference between the control groups and the disease group will be analyzed with Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test.

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

  3. The correlation between the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms and gas concentrations in various parts of the digestive tract.

    The symptoms will be assessed by Gastrointestinal Symptom-Rating Scale (GSRS) scores. The gas sample will be taken through the biopsy port during endoscopy. The concentration of H2, CH4, NO and H2S will be assessed by chemical gas sensor. The measured concentration of H2 and CH4 is one part per million(ppm). For NO and H2S, the measured concentration is one part per billion (ppb). The Spearman correlation will be used to determine the correlation between the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms and different gas concentration.

    Measured: Immediately after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Xiuli Zuo 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 2 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 12 Apr 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?

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?

Concentrations of different gas in digestive tract (time frame: immediately after the procedure). 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 12 Apr 2023.
