Summary
This study tests a special capsule that patients swallow to check if their intestines are clear enough for a standard camera capsule. About 25 people with known or suspected intestinal narrowing will take part. They will swallow the patency capsule and get an X-ray within 30 hours to see if it passes or dissolves safely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NaviCam Patency Capsule (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer way to check for intestinal blockages before capsule endoscopy, reducing the risk of capsule retention.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The capsule might not dissolve as expected in some patients with strictures.
