Primary Outcome Measures:
  • • Evaluate the effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 bowel prep regimen in Crohn's Disease patients [ Time Frame: All the end points and outcomes measures will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 bowel prep regimen in Crohn's Disease patients will be evaluated by the folloiwng:

    • Bowel preparation cleansing level assessment at the different GI segments (i.e., per colon segment, terminal ileum and proximal SB).
    • Distribution of PillCam COLON 2 transit times through the colon and the entire GI tract
    • PillCam COLON 2 excretion rate

    The duration of the procedure in this study is 1 day of colon preparation and

    1 day of Capsule Endoscopy (CE) procedure. 5-9 days after the CE procedure a follow up call to the subjects will be conducted.



Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • • Evaluate the safety of the PillCam COLON2 bowel prep regimen in Crohn's Disease patients [ Time Frame: All the end points and outcomes measures will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    Evaluation of the safety of the PillCam COLON2 bowel prep regimen in Crohn's Disease patients will be measured by analysing the Number, type and severity of adverse events.

    All the end points and outcomes measures will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment



Estimated Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: March 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: bowel prep regimen
Each study subject will undergo a bowel preparation followed by a PillCam procedure.
 Other: Pilcam colon capsule and PillCam™ Prep Procedure
PillCam® COLON 2 bowel preparation will include a clear liquid diet and administration of a purgative sulfate-free polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage (SF-ELS) solution (e.g. Nulytely) divided into two doses: the first dose on the evening before the exam and the 2nd dose on the morning of the exam day.

Detailed Description:

  1. Primary Scientific Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of the PillCam COLON 2 Prep Regimen in CD patients.

    Secondary Objective To evaluate safety of the PillCam™ COLON 2 procedure in CD patients

  2. Study Hypothesis Crohn's Disease may be pan-enteric in nature and can affect the small bowel, the colon or both. PillCam COLON 2 may be used for visualization of both SB and colon mucosa in Crohn's Disease patients. However, bowel prep is required in order to evacuate all fecal matter prior to the exam and in order to propel the capsule and complete its traverse through the entire GI track within examination time.
  3. The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the prep regimen in terms of transit, excretion and cleansing in CD patients

All end points will be evaluated within 4 months from end of enrollment.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is 18 years of age and above

    • Subjects who are determined by their physician to have active Crohn's disease based on at least one of the following tests which were performed in the past 3 months :

      • Colonoscopy
      • Capsule endoscopy of the small bowel or colon
      • Other radiology tests
      • Clinical symptoms with elevated positive inflammatory markers ;ESR, CRP, thrombocytosis, leukocytosis, fecal lactoferrin, or fecal alpha-1 antitrypsin
    • Proven patency by the Agile capsule or another approach deemed clinically acceptable by the investigator, e.g. CT enterography, performed within the 3 months prior to enrollment
