Angiodysplasia clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Assessing Depth of Small Bowel Insertion at Push Enteroscopy by Using Capsule Endoscopy

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract can originate from the small bowel. Typically, upper and lower endoscopies are unable to identify the site of bleeding and patients need to undergo special endoscopies with longer cameras to examine the small bowel and find the bleeding site. One of the most commonly used scopes to investigate the first part of the small intestinal is called "push enteroscopy". This is an upper endoscopy that uses a pediatric colonoscope, which is longer. To date, it is unknown what percentage of small bowel can be observed with this technique. Hence, this study aimed to determine the extent of small bowel examined by push enteroscopy. Consecutive patients with suspected bleeding from the small intestine will undergo a push enteroscopy and the depth of the examination will be marked with metallic clips. Subsequently, patients will have a capsule endoscopy, which is a little camera that will take multiple pictures of the whole small intestine. The percentage of small bowel that the push enteroscopy examined will be determined by the percentage of small bowel corresponding to the location of the clips visualized on capsule endoscopy.
