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.
