Trial summary

It is our objective to improve the performance of CTC in the prepared colon, and to validate CTC in the unprepared colon for the detection of colorectal neoplasia. The cost-effectiveness ratio of CTC in the unprepared colon will compare favorably with other colorectal screening test. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: "CTC of the Unprepped Colon: Optimization & Validation"

It is our objective to improve the performance of CTC in the prepared colon, and to validate CTC in the unprepared colon for the detection of colorectal neoplasia. The cost-effectiveness ratio of CTC in the unprepared colon will compare favorably with other colorectal screening test.

Read the detailed description

To improve the diagnostic performance of CTC in the prepared colon using improved spatial resolution, advanced image displays, and computer-assisted diagnosis, and to optimize diagnostic performance of CTC in the unprepared colon for colorectal polyp detection using electronic stool subtraction and computer-aided diagnostic techniques. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of CTC in the unprepared colon for clinically important colorectal neoplasms (large adenomas ≥ 1 cm) and to compare such estimates with colonoscopy. To survey patient acceptance of CTC in the unprepared colon, and to assess implications for health care costs and cost-effectiveness of CTC in the unprepared colon in comparison with other approaches.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00586053
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1485 patients,who have an average risk (asymptomatic and without colon screening in the last 5 years) or those who have a high risk for colon cancer (strong family history of colon cancer or polyps and/or personal history of colon cancer or polyps).
2160 patients, with a known colorectal lesion at or greater than 1 cm.
3610 patients, who are of average risk for colon cancer (asymptomatic and no colon cancer screening in the last 5 years).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 11 Feb 2010. 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 United States. 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 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?

To optimize diagnostic performance of CTC in the unprepared colon for colorectal polyp detection using electronic stool subtraction and computer-aided diagnostic techniques. (time frame: 2000-2009). 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 NCT00586053, 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 11 Feb 2010.
