Trial summary

A prospective, randomized trial to determine indigo carmine dye spraying and narrow band imaging (NBI) of colonic mucosa to detect dysplasia in ulcerative colitis (UC). Confocal laser microscopy may be beneficial in the further assessment of abnormalities identified by these methods. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with clinically quiescent, histologically proven pan-ulcerative colitis for at least 8 years will be recruited from the outpatient gastroenterology clinic of the Mayo Clinic Florida and randomized to white light followed by NBI or white light followed by indigo carmine staining to include confocal microscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinically quiescent (UC) disease will be defined as a colitis activity index <8 at the time of enrollment.
  • Scheduled for routine, clinically-indicated colonoscopy surveillance

Who cannot join

  • Patients unable to give informed consent,
  • Pregnant or female patients of child bearing age who are sexually active an not practicing birth control methods. (in this group a pregnancy test is required as per routine clinical care)
  • Poor colonic preparation (<90% colon visualization)
  • Documented allergy to indigo carmine
  • Coagulopathy that can not be corrected (INR> 1.5 and/or platelet count<50,000)

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study for the Determination of Inter-observer Variation for Abnormalities Detected by Indigo Carmine Staining and Narrow Band Imaging Among Patients Undergoing Surveillance Colonoscopy for Ulcerative Colitis

A prospective, randomized trial to determine indigo carmine dye spraying and narrow band imaging (NBI) of colonic mucosa to detect dysplasia in ulcerative colitis (UC). Confocal laser microscopy may be beneficial in the further assessment of abnormalities identified by these methods.

Read the detailed description

Specific Aims:

Primary:

  1. To assess intra- and inter-observer agreement for the detection of abnormalities seen by white light colonoscopy followed by indigo carmine staining and white light colonoscopy followed by NBI imaging. Secondary:
  2. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of these modalities for dysplasia among UC patients who undergo surveillance colonoscopy.
  3. To assess intra- and inter-observer agreement for abnormalities identified by confocal laser microscopy among patients with chronic ulcerative colitis.
  4. To determine the specificity and sensitivity of confocal microscopy in the detection of dysplasia among patients with ulcerative colitis.

50 consecutive patients with clinically quiescent UC presenting for surveillance colonoscopy will be randomized to white light followed by NBI OR white light followed by indigo carmine staining. Identified abnormalities will then be targeted for confocal imaging in 40 patients. Immediately prior to confocal imaging, fluorescein 2.5 ml of 10% solution will be administered intravenously. For these patients, confocal images will also be obtained of the area around the lesion and of the colon segments as in the parent study and correlated with pathology. Gross activity will be determined by white light colonoscopy for each colon segment. At least 32 biopsies for surveillance will be obtained with additional biopsies of abnormalities present on white light, NBI or indigo carmine. Photographs will be obtained of all abnormalities prior to biopsy and of random mucosa without abnormalities. Intra- and inter-observer agreement will be based on the first 10 patients at each site through review of de-identified endoscopic photographs. If modifications are necessary because of poor agreement, re-assessment will be made after the next 10 patients. Otherwise each site will enroll 40 additional patients with agreement summarized and sensitivity and specificity of these techniques for detecting dysplasia

Significance: If intra and inter-observer agreement for mucosal abnormalities detected by indigo carmine and NBI modalities is shown to be good, in ulcerative colitis, then larger studies will be planned on UC surveillance populations. If confocal techniques are feasible then these will be integrated into larger studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall estimates of inter- and intra-observer positive and negative agreement of at least 80% for the detection of abnormalities seen by white light colonoscopy followed by indigo carmine staining and white light colonoscopy followed by NBI imaging.

    Measured: two years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Confocal laser microscopy may be beneficial in the further assessment of abnormalities identified by these methods of white light colonoscopy followed by indigo carmine staining and white light colonoscopy followed by NBI imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis, 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 27 Feb 2013. 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?

Overall estimates of inter- and intra-observer positive and negative agreement of at least 80% for the detection of abnormalities seen by white light colonoscopy followed by indigo carmine staining and white light colonoscopy followed by NBI imaging. (time frame: two years). 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 27 Feb 2013.
