Study Overview

Brief Summary

The proposed study is designed to evaluate Pillcam regimen in Crohn's disease patients, using the PillCam Colon system.

Detailed Description

  1. Primary Scientific Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 Prep Regimen in CD patients.

Secondary Objective To evaluate safety of the PillCam™ COLON 2 procedure in CD patients 2. Study Hypothesis Crohn's Disease may be pan-enteric in nature and can affect the small bowel, the colon or both. PillCam COLON 2 may be used for visualization of both SB and colon mucosa in Crohn's Disease patients. However, bowel prep is required in order to evacuate all fecal matter prior to the exam and in order to propel the capsule and complete its traverse through the entire GI track within examination time. 3. The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the prep regimen in terms of transit, excretion and cleansing in CD patients

All end points will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment.

  • Colonoscopy
  • Capsule endoscopy of the small bowel or colon
  • Other radiology tests
  • Clinical symptoms with elevated positive inflammatory markers ;ESR, CRP, thrombocytosis, leukocytosis, fecal lactoferrin, or fecal alpha-1 antitrypsin
  • Proven patency by the Agile capsule or another approach deemed clinically acceptable by the investigator, e.g. CT enterography, performed within the 3 months prior to enrollment

  • Chronic use of laxatives
  • Subject has a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted electro medical device.
  • Women who are either pregnant or nursing at the time of screening, who intend to be during the study period, or are of child-bearing potential and do not practice medically acceptable methods of contraception.
  • Subject is expected to undergo MRI examination within 7 days after ingestion of the capsule.
  • Subject has had prior abdominal surgery of the gastrointestinal tract other than uncomplicated procedures that would be unlikely to lead to bowel obstruction based on the clinical judgment of the investigator.
  • Subject has any condition, which precludes compliance with study and/or device instructions.

Arms & Interventions

bowel prep regimen first boost 6 oz. and second boost 3 oz.

Experimental

4L of PEG split into two doses:1.on the evening before the exam 2.on the morning of exam day.Upon SB Detection 6 oz. SuPrep administered and 3hrs later 3 oz. SuPrep was administered if needed depends on the capsule progress in the GI

Intervention: bowel prep regimen first boost 6 oz. and second boost 3 oz. (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

• Evaluate the Effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 Bowel Prep Regimen in Crohn's Disease Patients

Time Frame: The end points and outcomes measures will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment

effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 bowel prep regimen in Crohn's Disease patients will be evaluated by the folloiwng: • Bowel preparation cleansing level assessment The duration of the procedure in this study is 1 day of colon preparation and 1 day of Capsule Endoscopy (CE) procedure. 5-9 days after the CE procedure a follow up call to the subjects will be conducted.
