Magnetically Controlled Capsule for Assessment of Gastric Mucosa in Symptomatic Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MAGNET for Abdominal Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot and feasibility study will be first US study to determine if a magnetically controlled capsule (MCC) can effectively visualize the anatomy of the stomach like a more traditional upper endoscopy (EGD). This study is designed to enroll participants who have a standard indication for an EGD and are also willing to get an MCC exam. The MCC is driven actively by a clinician unlike prior capsule endoscopes that move passively by gravity or peristalsis. Thus, a physician will be able to look more closely at areas of the stomach that might be concerning and might need further evaluation and/or treatment.

Interventions
This study will test the accuracy of a single-use ingestible video capsule (NaviCamTM, AnX Robotica) which is remotely controlled to record images of the inside of your stomach. Participants in this research study will have symptoms for which an evaluation by a traditional tube-based endoscopy (EGD) is indicated.
