Brief summary

This pilot, multi center study will establish the effectiveness of Given PillCam® Platform with the PillCam® Colon 2 Capsule as demonstrated by the identification of subjects with polyps, compared to standard colonoscopy. This study will also use to evaluate the administrative feasibility and data management of study design.

Interventions

Each subject will be required to follow a bowel preparation regimen and will undergo Capsule Endoscopy (CE). Following capsule ingestion and depending on capsule progression through the digestive tract subjects will be required to take an additional volume of laxatives in order to enhance capsule propulsion and maintain adequate cleansing of the colon.

DEVICEColonoscopy

The colonoscopy procedure will be scheduled approximately 4-6 weeks after the CE procedure, and the colonoscopy bowel preparation will be the same as the bowel preparation for CE.

Subject is suspected or diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis. 6. Subject is suspected or diagnosed with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer. 7. Subject is suspected or diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, or chronic ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. 8. Subject is suspected or diagnosed with hematochezia, melena, Fe deficiency anemia or any other rectal bleeding., including positive FOBT test of any variety 9.

Subject is expected to undergo MRI examination within 7 days after ingestion of the capsule. 17. Subject with any condition believed to have an increased risk for capsule retention such as intestinal tumors, radiation enteritis, and incomplete colonoscopies due to obstructions or NSAID enteropathy. 18. Subject with strictures, fistulas and/or chronic constipation. 19. Subject with history or clinical evidence of renal disease and/or previous clinically significant laboratory abnormalities of renal function parameters. 20. Subject with known gastrointestinal motility disorders. 21. Subject has known delayed gastric emptying. 22. Subject has any condition, which precludes compliance with study and/or device instructions. 23. Women who are either pregnant or nursing at the time of screening, or are of child-bearing potential and do not practice medically acceptable methods of contraception. 24. Subject suffers from life threatening conditions. 25. Subject currently participating in another clinical study.

Accuracy of the PillCam® Colon 2 Capsule Endoscopy (CE) for Polyps Per Subject - Sensitivity

PillCam® Colon 2 Capsule Endoscopy (CE) compared to standard colonoscopy in detecting subjects with polyps equal to or larger than 6 mm and 10 mm as measured by Sensitivity. A positive event was defined as per optical colonoscopy polyp size measurement. Standard colonoscopy is the gold standard.

Time frame: Up to 6 weeks

Population: The accuracy parameters were calculated per subject analysis, i.e. the accuracy events were generated by the larger polyp identified in a given subject.
