Atmo Biosciences, a company commercializing the world’s first ingestible gas-sensing capsule that provides insights into gut health and microbiome function, 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).
