Prospective, Multicentre Feasibility Study of Remote Colon Capsule Endoscopy Using the OMOM CC100 System

<b>Background and Aims</b>: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, diagnostic yield (DY), and patient satisfaction of the OMOM CC100 CCE system, with special focus on fully remote (n = 30) and partially remote (n = 89) administration across four centres to advance decentralised models. <b>Methods:</b> This prospective, investigator-initiated, international multicentre feasibility study enrolled 119 patients aged 18-75 years at centres in Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, and Poland from July 2024 to May 2025. Indications included rectal bleeding, iron-deficiency anaemia, a positive faecal immunochemical test, changes in bowel habit, suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), post-polypectomy or colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery surveillance, and a family history of CRC. The OMOM CC100 capsule was employed with a standardised bowel preparation regimen. Administration was fully remote in Denmark using the IntelliGI™ platform and partially remote (clinic ingestion, home completion) at the other sites. Primary outcomes encompassed procedure feasibility, completion rate (capsule excretion or anal verge visualisation), bowel cleanliness (Leighton-Rex scale ≥ 3), diagnostic yield, and patient satisfaction. Secondary measures included transit times, adverse events, and technical failures. <b>Results</b>: Median age was 55.7 years (65 males, 54 females). Overall completion rate was 79%, varying by centre: Sweden (90%), Portugal (81%), Denmark (80%), and Poland (63%). Adequate bowel cleanliness was achieved in 71% of cases. Diagnostic findings included polyps (25 patients), angioectasia (20), diverticulosis (17), and mucosal inflammation (17); 42% were normal. Fully remote administration yielded 80% completion and 89.7% satisfaction. No serious adverse events occurred; overall satisfaction was 81%, with 87% preferring home-based procedures. <b>Conclusions:</b> The OMOM CC100 CCE system is feasible, safe, with DY comparable to established systems. IntelliGI™-enabled remote administration promotes decentralised care, enhancing accessibility.

This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, diagnostic yield (DY), and patient satisfaction of the OMOM CC100 CCE system, with special focus on fully remote (n = 30) and partially remote (n = 89) administration across four centres to advance decentralised models. <b>Methods:</b> This prospective, investigator-initiated, international multicentre feasibility study enrolled 119 patients aged 18-75 years at centres in Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, and Poland from July 2024 to May 2025. Indications included rectal bleeding, iron-deficiency anaemia, a positive faecal immunochemical test, changes in bowel habit, suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), post-polypectomy or colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery surveillance, and a family history of CRC. The OMOM CC100 capsule was employed with a standardised bowel preparation regimen.
