About this study

Official title: Polyethylene Glycol Versus Sodium Phosphate for Colon Preparation After Failure of First Preparation for Colonoscopy - An Investigator Blinded Prospective Controlled Trial

The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of Polyethylene glycol versus sodium phosphate as purgative for colon preparation to colonoscopy, after the failure of preparation with sodium phosphate for first colonoscopy. The hypothesis tested is whether there is advantage for substituting the purgative used, as compared to repeating the colonoscopy with the same purgative.Briefly, patients whose preparation was inadequate, will be allocated randomly to a group that will receive 3L Polyethylene glycol versus a group that will receive sodium phosphate(45ccX2). Both groups will be instructed to extend low-fiber diet to 5 days. Cleanliness of the colon at colonoscopy will be assessed blindly by an experienced endoscopist.

The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of Polyethylene glycol versus sodium phosphate as purgative for colon preparation to colonoscopy, after the failure of preparation with sodium phosphate for first colonoscopy. The hypothesis tested is whether there is advantage for substituting the purgative used, as compared to repeating the colonoscopy with the same purgative.Briefly, the study will be composed of patients whose preparation was judged to be inadequate in a first colonoscopy by an endoscopist independent of the current study. They will be allocated randomly to a group that will receive 3L Polyethylene glycol versus a group that will receive sodium phosphate(45ccX2). Both groups will be instructed to extend low-fiber diet to 5 days. Cleanliness of the colon at colonoscopy will be assessed blindly by an experienced endoscopist.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing polyethylene glycol and Sodium phosphate in people with Colonoscopy, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study terminated due to FDA alert regarding Fleet phosphosoda). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Colon cleanliness at the second colonoscopy (time frame: within 24 hours of purgative ingestion, and within 30 minutes of colonoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Jun 2018.
