  • Colon capsule endoscopy was initially introduced in 2006. Since the results of a prospective study to evaluate first-generation colon capsule endoscopy efficacy for the detection of colonic neoplasia were unsatisfactory, second-generation colon capsule endoscopy was developed and reported in 2009. In this review article, we provide an overview of the current state of colon capsule endoscopy for evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease in a clinical setting and describe our clinical experience with this technology and its application. Among the various types of inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis is the primary target for application of colon capsule endoscopy. Nevertheless, the initial results of studies using first-generation colon capsule endoscopy to evaluate inflammation were unclear. More recently, second-generation colon capsule endoscopy has provided higher accuracy for assessment of inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis. Colon capsule endoscopy enables noninvasive observation (with reduced volume preparation) of mucosal inflammation severity in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) (PillCam® Colon; Given Imaging, Ltd., Yokneam, Israel) was first introduced in 2006 by Eliakim et al. [1]. A prospective study with first-generation CCE (CCE-1) demonstrated that the sensitivity of CCE-1 for detecting colonic lesions was low compared to colonoscopy and the results were unsatisfactory [2]; thus, second-generation CCE (CCE-2) (PillCam® Colon2; Given Imaging) was subsequently developed and reported in 2009 [3]. The second-generation colon capsule endoscope is equipped with two high-resolution cameras providing a viewing angle of 172° in front and back, senses the moving speed of the capsule endoscope, and captures 4 to 35 images per second. A prospective European multicenter study showed that the detection rate of colon polyps of >5 mm using CCE-2 was almost equivalent to colonoscopy [4]. In a subsequent meta-analysis, Spada et al. [5] confirmed that the detection sensitivity for colonic polyps of >6 mm and >10 mm increased between the development of CCE-1 to CCE-2. The Spada et al. meta-analysis included 14 studies with a total of 2,420 patients (1,128 for CCE-1 and 1,292 for CCE-2) [5]. Results showed that CCE-2 and CCE-1 detected >6 mm polyps with 86% sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI], 82%–89%), and 58% sensitivity (95% CI, 44%–70%), respectively. Polyps of >10 mm were detected with 87% sensitivity (95% CI, 81%–91%), and 54% sensitivity (95% CI, 29%–77%), respectively. Currently, CCE-2 is primarily utilized in screening for colonic neoplasia [6], particularly in situations such as incomplete colonoscopy [7,8]. Although CCE-2 has several limitations, including high preparation volume and cost, the demand for CCE-2 in clinical settings is gradually increasing. CCE is non-invasive and especially useful for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in particular. In this review article, we provide an overview of the current state of CCE-2 for evaluation of IBD in a clinical setting, and describe our clinical experience with this technology and its application.
The primary target disease for CCE among all types of IBD, is UC. Several studies evaluated CCE performance for assessment of inflammation severity in patients with UC. Sung et al. [9] conducted a multicenter study investigating CCE-1 utility for evaluating UC mucosal inflammation severity. The study involved 100 patients with suspected or established UC and compared colonic inflammation detected by CCE-1 and colonoscopy. The sensitivity and specificity of CCE-1 for detection of active colonic inflammation was 89% and 75%, respectively. In addition, the results demonstrated that CCE-1 had a low negative predictive value (65% [95% CI, 43–83]) indicating that mucosal healing could not be accurately detected by CCE-1. Sung et al. [9] concluded that CCE-1 was a safe procedure for monitoring mucosal inflammation associated with UC; however, they could not recommend replacing colonoscopy with CCE-1. Meister et al. [10] conducted a pilot study comparing CCE-1 and conventional colonoscopy disease severity scores (modified Rachmilewitz score), and the results demonstrated a significant difference. Ye et al. [11] reported a significant correlation between disease activity (κ=0.751) and UC disease extent (κ=0.522) when comparing CCE-1 and colonoscopy. The discrepancy in results from the pilot studies discussed above may be related to the relatively small sample sizes of both. The first feasibility study of CCE-2 utility for assessment of mucosal inflammation severity in patients with UC disease was conducted by our research team [12]. We found that the CCE-2 procedure was completed within 8 hours in 69% of the patients and that the proportion of patients exhibiting a good or excellent cleansing level was <50%, when using a low-volume (2 L) polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution with prokinetics (mosapride citrate and metoclopramide). However, we also discovered a strong correlation between CCE-2 and conventional colonoscopy in the disease activity index (Matts endoscopic score). UC inflammation is diffuse rather than patchy, and detectable by CCE-2 in the mucosa through gaps in feces, enabling the evaluation of mucosal inflammation severity without high cleansing efficacy. Our second study [13] supported these results and demonstrated that there was substantial interobserver agreement (κ=0.700) when assessing mucosal inflammation severity with CCE-2, even at a fair cleansing level inappropriate for the detection of colon polyps [14]. A previous study revealed higher diagnostic accuracy with CCE-2, versus colonoscopy for evaluating disease activity in pediatric UC patients [15]. Shi et al. [16] conducted a prospective study to evaluate the CCE-2 effectivity for detection of mucosal lesions and disease activity in patients with UC. The study included 150 patients with UC, and showed that CCE-2 accurately detected mucosal lesions and disease activity. It is important to note that the estimated severity of endoscopic disease calculated by CCE-2 may be overestimated compared to colonoscopy, since the colonic lumen is not fully inflated during the examination. However, Shi et al. [16] and our data [12] revealed a strong correlation between the inflammation scores determined by CCE and colonoscopy, dispelling any concerns. Furthermore, using statistical methods we developed a score specifically for CCE-2, i.e., the Capsule Scoring of Ulcerative Colitis (CSUC). The CSUC score consists of three simple items and can be easily generated using capsule endoscopy software. The correlation between the CSUC and clinical scores, such as fecal calprotectin, was almost equivalent to the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity [17]. The CCE performance in assessment of UC disease extent was reported by Ye et al. [11], and the study results demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between CCE-1 and colonoscopy (κ=0.522, p<0.001). We investigated the correlation between CCE-1 and colonoscopy for detection of UC disease severity in each segment (cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, proximal left-sided colon, and distal left-sided colon) and found strong correlations, with Rho values of 0.862 0.906, 0.778, 0.765, and 0.673 for each section, respectively [12]. However, further validation will be needed to determine whether CCE-2 can accurately determine the extent of UC inflammation.
In summary, the application of CCE-1 to evaluate inflammation produced uncertain results. However, the accuracy of inflammation assessment in patients with UC has been improved by the development of CCE-2. These improvements may result from new technology increasing the capsule frame rate from 4 to 35 images per second, allowing adequate imaging of the mucosa when the capsule is accelerated by peristalsis. At present, CCE-2 has the potential to become an inflammation monitoring technique for UC, however, it is not applicable for detection of colitis associated with cancer. Large-scale studies are needed to confirm the clinical utility of CCE-2 for UC.
The typical characteristics of UC-associated inflammation are shown in Fig. 1. CCE-2 (Fig. 1A) and conventional colonoscopy (Fig. 1B) identify almost identical ulcers in the sigmoid colon.
Previous studies showed that preparations including large volumes of laxatives reduce UC patient acceptance of colonoscopy [18]. Moreover, our clinical experience indicates that when the severity of inflammation is evaluated by CCE-2, a high cleansing level is not mandatory. The inflammation associated with UC is not patchy, but rather diffuse and continuous; thus, it is detectable in the mucosa through gaps in residual feces allowing estimation of the mucosal inflammation extent. We evaluated the feasibility of a reduced bowel preparation regimen for UC in a previous study [12]. As discussed above, the cleansing efficacy of the initial study regimen was not sufficient. Therefore, we attempted to improve the colon-cleansing efficacy and completion rate of CCE for patients with UC by adopting a modified bowel preparation [13]. Patients received a maximum of 2.2 L of PEG and magnesium citrate solution in three divided doses. In 85% of enrolled patients, the capsule reached the rectum within battery life when a modified preparation regimen was used. In the previous study, eight different preparation regimens for UC were tested (Table 1). The standard preparation for CCE colon polyp surveillance consists of 4 to 6 L of laxatatives [2,4,6]. In comparison, four of the tested regimens were reduced (2.0–3.4 L) (Table 1). A PEG solution containing ascorbic acid (PEG-ASC) was recently utilized in a reduced preparation for UC [19,20]. Okabayashi et al. [20] described a reduced regimen consisting of a maximum of 3.0 L of total liquid (PEG-ASC, 2 L; water, 1 L), with a high total observation rate (94%). Thus, it is possible to reduce the CCE preparation for patients with UC. It is clearly necessary to develop lower preparation doses, since higher laxative doses reduce patient acceptance.
Most of the studies evaluating the efficacy of capsule endoscopy in Crohn’s disease (CD) have used the small bowel capsule endoscopy. CD tends to involve the terminal ileum and colon, and approximately 60% of patients with established CD have proximal small bowel lesions [21,22]. Several reports [23-27] assessed the role of CCE-2 in pan-enteric examinations for CD. D’Haens et al. [23] compared CCE-2 and colonoscopy to assess disease severity in 40 patients with active colonic CD. They reported substantial agreement between CCE-2 and colonoscopy in assessing the Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.43–0.80). Additional results from the study demonstrated high sensitivity for ulcer recognition (86%), but low specificity (40%). The conclusion was that CCE-2 is feasible and safe for assessment of CD activity in selected populations, however, additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to determine its true efficacy. A recent study compared CCE-2 with ileocolonoscopy, magnetic resonance enterography, and small intestine contrast ultrasonography in pediatric CD patients. Results demonstrated that CCE-2 was superior to the other techniques for detection of colonic CD lesions, with sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 89%, 100%, and 100%, 91%, respectively [25]. Small case studies also showed that CCE-2 was safe, and played an important role in the management of patients with suspected or established CD who refused colonoscopy, or had incomplete examinations [26]. Tjandra et al. [27] compared CCE-2 and ileocolonoscopy for assessing mucosal inflammation of established CD using the Simple Endoscopic Activity Score in Crohn’s Disease (SES-CD). They reported a moderate correlation for SES-CD (0.598, p=0.004), and a low CCE-2 completion rate of 61.8% within the battery life.
At present, the usefulness of CCE-2 for CD is uncertain, and verification by further large-scale studies is needed.
Nearly 20 years have passed since the small bowel capsule emerged, and 13 years have passed since CCE was introduced. The usefulness of CCE for colon polyp surveillance has been demonstrated in many studies, but few have focused on UC. However, CCE enables noninvasive observation of mucosal inflammation severity in UC patients and may be conducted with a reduced volume preparation. At present, the limitations of CCE-2 are that a large volume of bowel preparation is necessary, and biopsies are not possible. In the near future, improved CCE preparation regimens including reduced total liquid volume, and increased rates of completion, will be developed for UC patients. In addition, a colon capsule endoscope equipped with the ability to perform biopsies will be engineered. As a result, application of CCE for UC patient evaluation will become widespread.
