About this study

Official title: Tandem Colonoscopy Study of Narrow Band Imaging Versus White Light Examination to Compare Neoplasia Miss Rates

The purpose of the study is to determine if colonoscopic examination using a colonoscope with a narrow band imaging light is more effective at detecting polyps compared to a colonoscope with standard full spectrum white light.

Read the detailed description

This is a clinical study to evaluate whether the use of a new type of colonoscope may improve the detection of colon polyps. Though colonoscopy is currently the best test for colon cancer screening, it remains imperfect. Research has found that about 25% of polyps may actually be missed during colonoscopy using standard full spectrum white light imaging. Advances in colonoscopic technology hold the potential to decrease the miss rate of colorectal neoplasms. A new colonoscope uses narrow band imaging, whereby the colon is illuminated using only a subset of the white light spectrum, 415nanometers (blue) and 540 nanometers (green) rather than the standard full spectrum white light (red, green and blue). Initial studies by other groups suggest that these narrow band images highlight small blood vessels of colon polyps. As such, we hypothesized that the use of NBI would improve the identification of neoplasms through the color differentiation of precancerous or cancerous polyp (appearing brown) from normal colon mucosal lining (appearing green), and potentially lead to a reduction in polyp miss rate. We aimed to study the polyp miss rate, and compare narrow band imaging to white light examination.

What participants receive

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

  • Narrow band imaging colonoscopeDevice

    Also called CF-H180AL, CF-Q180AL, Evis Exera II CV-180

    Adult colonoscopes with narrow band imaging capabilities (XCF-H160AY2L and XCF-Q160W6L, Olympus Medical Systems Corporation, Hachioji, Japan). There is an automatic switch on the handle of the endoscope that allows the physician to instantly switch between narrow band imaging and standard full spectrum white light modes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Narrow band imaging colonoscope in people with Colonic Neoplasms, run by VA Palo Alto Health Care System 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 8 Mar 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Neoplasm Miss Rate (time frame: same day). 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 NCT00628147, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Mar 2017.
