Purpose

The researcher's primary hypothesis is that VCE allows for safe outpatient management of ED patients with suspected upper GI hemorrhage. A prospective multicenter randomized control trial was designed to investigate the safety of this approach.

Further study details as provided by George Washington University:

Primary Outcome Measures:

to test whether risk stratification ED Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) in the ER leads to decreased need for hospitalization [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
Our primary question is whether VCE can diagnose UGIH in the acute setting.is to test whether ED Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) in the ER is able to safely discharge low risk patients for outpatient evaluation

Secondary Outcome Measures:

to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of VCE compared to subsequent EGD [ Time Frame: 72 ]
to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of VCE compared to subsequent EGD in the detection of serious bleeding lesions in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.


Estimated Enrollment:	100
Study Start Date:	March 2017
Estimated Study Completion Date:	August 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	March 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Experimental Capsule Endoscopy Patient will be monitored for a minimum of 4 hours. VCE will be read by site PI or co-PI and by site GI doc. Repeat CBC at q4 hours. Stable BP and pulse for 4 plus hours -> discharge home with follow up EGD within 3 days.	Device: Experimental Capsule Endoscopy
Placebo Comparator: Standard of Care plus EGD VCE video will be archived and read at a later date. Pt will be admitted. VCE will not be used for clinical decisions. Same day or next day (<24 hour) Endoscopic examination of the upper GI tract will be offered to all patients within 24 hours, and hemostasis therapy was applied as necessary	Device: Standard of Care plus EGD

Detailed Description:

The typical primary care, urgent care or emergency care provider is unable to evaluate common and serious conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as a bleeding peptic ulcer. As such, more than 80% of patients who present to US ED's with suspected bleeding in their upper GI tract require hospitalization, procedural sedation by an anesthesiologist, and a traditional tube-based upper endoscopy by a gastroenterologist. While this traditional process is safe and effective, it is not efficient for our low-risk patients and not timely for our high-risk patients. The opportunity to bring Video Capsule Endoscopy to the front-lines of US medical care will revolutionize how we manage upper GI bleeding and shed light on critical diseases that have heretofore been hidden from most providers. This trial is an important step toward demonstrating that VCE is a safe and effective tool to risk-stratify upper GI bleeding and improve quality of emergency care for all patients.
