Comparison of the Use of Wireless Capsule Endoscopy With Magnetic Resonance Enterography in Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Capsule endoscopy for IBD. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Most of the studies evaluating the roles of MRE and WCE conducted in pediatric patients have been retrospective with the main goal of making a diagnosis in patients with suspected IBD. The current study is the first prospective study in children with known IBD assessing the roles of MRE and WCE in identifying disease exacerbation. This study will help to identify if capsule endoscopy is superior or complementary to MRE in the evaluation of suspected disease exacerbation in IBD patients.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Pediatric patients with indeterminate colitis (IC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who are scheduled to undergo routine small bowel screening or surveillance using MRE. Subjects will swallow a patency capsule (PC) to study bowel patency.Those patients, who pass an intact PC, usually within 40 hours, will ingest the wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). The WCE will be performed within 1 week of completion of MRE.
