About this study

Official title: Parallel Group Comparison of the New 2 Liter Gut Cleansing Solution NRL 994 Versus Sodium Phosphate Preparation in Routine Colon Cleansing Prior to Colonoscopies for Colon Tumor Screening.

To compare the efficacy, acceptability and safety of the new 2 liter gut cleansing solution (Moviprep) and NaP preparation in routine colon cleansing prior to tumor screening colonoscopies

Read the detailed description

This was a randomized and multicenter phase III study in ambulatory subjects undergoing an elective colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. Gut cleansing was performed using either the 2 liters of Moviprep gut lavage solution or the 90 ml NaP-containing preparation prior to colonoscopy. Efficacy, acceptability and safety assessments was performed.

Conditions
Colonoscopy
Being tested
Macrogol 3350 Na sulphate NaCl KCl Ascorbic Acid Na Ascorbate, Sodium Phosphate solution (NaP)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy was measured as the degree of cleansing using a 5 grades scale for each of the predefined colon areas resulting into a final grading of the overall quality of gut preparation (A or B: "success" versus C or D: "failure").

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. the "overall" judgment of the investigator for the colon preparation was documented.

  2. Subject satisfaction/acceptance with the gut lavage procedure was recorded on a VAS scale ranging from 0 to 100 mm.

  3. The taste of the solutions was assessed.

  4. Acceptability and tolerance for the subject was compared.

  5. All Adverse Events were recorded to evaluate the safety.

  6. Laboratory tests (such as blood chemistry and hematology) were conducted to support the safety data as well as measurement of body weight, blood pressure and pulse rate, but also tolerance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Macrogol 3350 Na sulphate NaCl KCl Ascorbic Acid Na Ascorbate and Sodium Phosphate solution (NaP) in people with Colonoscopy, run by Norgine at 12 sites in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy was measured as the degree of cleansing using a 5 grades scale for each of the predefined colon areas resulting into a final grading of the overall quality of gut preparation (A or B: "success" versus C or D: "failure").. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00427089, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2008.
