Atmo Biosciences today announced it has commenced a pivotal clinical study to assess the use of the Atmo Gas Capsule to measure gastrointestinal transit time in patients with suspected motility disorders.

The study involves simultaneous ingestion of the Atmo Gas Capsule and predicate device SmartPill to demonstrate the ability of Atmo’s gas-sensing capsule to assess whole and regional gut transit. Clinicians evaluate regional gut transit to help diagnose motility disorders such as gastroparesis (delayed emptying from the stomach), and slow transit constipation (slow transit through the colon).

Preliminary results from a University of Queensland (UQ) study to assess how the Atmo Gas Capsule compares to established SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) diagnostic methods suggest a good correlation with duodenal aspirate and higher accuracy than a breath test.

Dr Ayesha Shah, a senior lecturer at the UQ School of Medicine, presented data from the study, led by Professor Gerald Holtmann, also from UQ, and Professor Uday Chand Ghoshal of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, India, in a presentation at Digestive Disease Week (DDW), held May 6-9 in Chicago.
