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).

A Western Sydney University (WSU) and Monash University comparative study has validated the Atmo Gas Capsule relative to the SmartPill when measuring gastric emptying time and colonic transit time in patients with gastroparesis and chronic constipation.

Dr Jerry Zhou, lecturer and clinical researcher at WSU School of Medicine, presented findings from the study in a poster presentation at Digestive Disease Week  (DDW), held May 6-9 in Chicago.
