About this study

The proposed research aims to determine the prevalence, size, shape and histology of flat colorectal neoplasms in a cohort of asymptomatic, average-risk individuals presenting for screening colonoscopy. Patients will be randomized to either conventional colonoscopy or chromocolonoscopy, where the entire colon will be sprayed with indigocarmine dye and examined in the usual manner. The primary outcome will be the total number of adenomas detected, with special attention to the subgroup of flat and depressed lesions. To promote the generalizability of the results, neoplasms will be described according to standard Western and Japanese classification schemes.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of adenomas detected by chromocolonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy. (time frame: Cross-sectional prevalence of adenomas between the 2 study groups). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
