About this study

Official title: Detachable String Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy for Patients with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: a Prospective Study

Use CE for pre-examination of patients with AUGIB symptoms in emergency centers may reduce the need for emergency electronic gastroscopy and have certain advantages in clinical work. Patients with low-risk lesions can be discharged without the need for EGD and hospitalization, greatly improving the utilization of medical resources.

Read the detailed description

The investigators plan to conduct exploratory research by sequentially performing DS-MCE and EGD examinations on AUGIB patients with stable hemodynamics, using EGD as the gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity of DS-MCE in diagnosing upper gastrointestinal bleeding lesions and active bleeding.

What is being measured

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

  1. The sensitivity of DS-MCE in detection active bleeding and bleeding lesions, using the detection of EGD as the gold standard,

    Active bleeding is defined as the continuous flow of visible blood from damaged blood vessels under the microscope.

    The detection results of bleeding lesions are divided into three categories: P0 refers to lesions without possible bleeding, such as visible submucosal veins, diverticula without bleeding traces, nodules without mucosal damage traces, etc; P1 refers to low-risk bleeding lesions, such as isolated erythema, isolated small erosions, or mucosal damage; P2 refers to high-risk bleeding lesions, such as peptic ulcers (active bleeding or visible blood vessels) with persistent or rebleeding risks, erosions with a diameter of ≥ 2mm, tumors, varicose veins, etc.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. The specificity of ds MCE in detecting active bleeding and bleeding lesions using EGD as the gold standard

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  2. The number of observed signs of bleeding

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  3. Detection rate of bleeding lesions in enrolled subjects

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  4. Detection rate of lesions in enrolled subjects

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  5. The time from the admission of subjects to the detection of bleeding lesions

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  6. Number of therapeutic interventions (endoscopy, DSA, surgery) for enrolled subjects

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  7. The time from the admission of subjects to the start of therapeutic interventions (endoscopy, DSA, surgery)

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  8. Detection rate of esophageal, gastric, and small intestinal lesions in enrolled subjects

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  9. Time of traditional electronic gastroscopy examination

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  10. Time of DS-MCE examination

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  11. Incidence of rebleeding in enrolled subjects 30 days after discharge

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  12. Rate of all-cause mortality among enrolled subjects within 30 days of discharge

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  13. Time of hospital stay for enrolled subjects

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  14. Satisfaction of enrolled subjects

    use a certain scale named satisfaction scale to measure the satisfaction of enrolled subjects (0-36), lower scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  15. clinical safety (Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, Safety and Tolerability)

    use the incidence of adverse events to measure clinical safety

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  16. complication rate

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DS-MCE and EGD examinations in people with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Capsule Endoscopes, run by Changhai Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yilin Han (+8615038655111, hanyl10@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The sensitivity of DS-MCE in detection active bleeding and bleeding lesions, using the detection of EGD as the gold standard, (time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks). 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 10 Dec 2024.
