Overview

Brief Summary

The study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study, to evaluate the ease of use, tolerability, efficacy and safety of the Vibrant Capsule administered in the home environment.

One arm will be assessed: Vibrant Capsule administered twice a week.

Patients will follow a 2 weeks baseline period and then take the Vibrant Capsule for a treatment period of 6 weeks.

After 14 days the patients will return and eligibility will be re-assessed. Patients will be instructed to complete a simple patient eDiary each day throughout the duration of the study. After 3 weeks of treatment, the patient will attend for evaluation and to receive new capsules. A final visit will take place at the end of the 6 week treatment period.
