Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an imaging technique that allows a better definition of capillary pattern and improves the contrast between adenomas and the surrounding mucosa. Conflicting data exist on the ability of NBI in to improve detection of colonic neoplasm; the impact of NBI is being tested in several screening… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Narrow Band Imaging in Screening Colonoscopy: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an imaging technique that allows a better definition of capillary pattern and improves the contrast between adenomas and the surrounding mucosa. Conflicting data exist on the ability of NBI in to improve detection of colonic neoplasm; the impact of NBI is being tested in several screening scenarios. The investigators evaluated whether the routine use of NBI, compared to white light (WL), during the withdrawal phase of screening colonoscopy improved adenoma detection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma Detection

    Detection of adenoma, defined as the number of patients with > 1 adenoma, under White Light or NBI visualization

    Measured: duration of colonoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detection of Flat and/or Depressed Adenomas

    number of patients with at least 1 flat and/or depressed adenoma

    Measured: duration of colonoscopy procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Narrow Band Imaging in people with Colonoscopy, run by Valduce Hospital.

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 2 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 26 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2009). 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?

Adenoma Detection (time frame: duration of colonoscopy procedure). 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 NCT00908648, 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 26 Apr 2021.
