Cystic Fibrosis and Gut Dysmotility: The Effect of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) on Intestinal Transit
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Polyethylene Glycol 3350 and SmartPill Motility System & PillCam Patency Capsule for Cystic Fibrosis Gastrointestinal Disease. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will recruit 15 patients with cystic fibrosis 18 years of age and older who present with constipation. The investigators will assess baseline motility symptoms with a survey. Patients will then ingest a SmartPill (trademark) to obtain baseline motility within the GI lumen. All patients will undergo intervention with taking polyethylene glycol (PEG) or Miralax (brand name) 17 grams once daily. After two weeks of therapy, the patient will repeat the motility survey and again ingest a smart pill to assess the change in motility symptoms while on therapy.
