Accuracy of Magnetically Maneuvered Capsule Endoscopy for Detection of Esophagogastric Varices in Patients With Cirrhosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ds-MCE and EGD for Liver Cirrhosis and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 607 participants across 14 sites.
Detailed Summary
This is a diagnostic accuracy study. Eligible individuals will be enrolled and asked to undergo ds-MCE and EGD examinations. EGD is the reference standard against which ds-MCE is compared, and it will be performed within 48 hours after ds-MCE examination. The primary outcome is the sensitivity and specificity of ds-MCE in identifying the presence of esophagogastric (EGV) in patients with cirrhosis, using detection by EGD as the reference. The diagnostic accuracy of ds-MCE in detection of high-risk EV, high-risk EGV, EV, large EV, red signs of EV, GV, cardiofundal GV and PHG compared with the EGD will also be assessed. The incidence of PHE in small bowel under ds-MCE, the examination time of ds-MCE and EGD procedures, patient satisfaction assessment and safety evaluation will also be evaluated.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Procedure of ds-MCE: The ds-MCE system mainly consists of two parts: the NaviCam magnetically maneuvered capsule endoscopy system and the detachable string part. The capsule, which is partially enclosed within the sleeve, can be actively moved in the esophagus through the control of string. Investigator can examine the entire esophagus several times under real time views. After completing the esophageal examination, the capsule could be detached from the string through injecting air into the hollow string with the syringe. Then, the examination of stomach under magnetic control and small bowel under the natural action of gastrointestinal peristalsis follows. Procedure of EGD: The esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) will be performed using conventional upper gastrointestinal video endoscopy, according to the standard procedure at individual centers. EGD will be performed within 48 hours after ds-MCE procedure and usually during the same endoscopic session.
