Trial summary

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Colonoscopy is a preferred colorectal screening modality since it has both diagnostic and therapeutic capability. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Detection of Polyps During Both Insertion and Withdrawal Phases of Colonoscopy Versus the Standard Practice of Detection of Polyps During the Withdrawal Phase of Colonoscopy: A Prospective Quality Improvement Study

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Colonoscopy is a preferred colorectal screening modality since it has both diagnostic and therapeutic capability. Detection and removal of polyps at colonoscopy decreases the incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer.

Typical practice is to insert the colonoscope rapidly until it reaches the cecum (a pouch-like portion of the intestines, where the large bowel and the small bowel meet). The physician then withdraws the colonoscope slowly and looks for any polyps or abnormalities within the large bowel. The purpose of this study is to compare this standard practice to the approach whereby the physician examines the bowel as the scope is initially inserted AND as the colonoscope is withdrawn from patients' colons.

Being tested
Standard Inspection Colonoscopy, Dual Inspection Colonoscopy
Keywords
colonoscopy, adenoma detection, polyps
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Standard Inspection ColonoscopyProcedure or surgery

    The large bowel will be inspected for polyps during the withdrawal of the colonoscope to the cecum, and during the withdrawal of the scope from the large bowel.

  • Dual Inspection ColonoscopyProcedure or surgery

    The large bowel will be inspected for polyps during the insertion of the colonoscope to the cecum, and during the withdrawal of the scope from the large bowel.

Standard Inspection ColonoscopyOtherThe colonoscope will be inserted rapidly to reach the cecum. Inspection of the large bowel will occur during the withdrawal of the colonoscope.

Dual Inspection ColonoscopyActive comparatorThe large bowel will be inspected for polyps during the insertion of the colonoscope to the cecum, and during the withdrawal of the scope from the large bowel.
Receives: Procedure: Dual Inspection Colonoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma detection rates for each method

    Measured: within the first 30 days after colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of procedure times for each method

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Percentage of patients with at least one adenoma detected by each method

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Comparison of percentage of adenomas classified as high risk for each method

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard Inspection Colonoscopy and Dual Inspection Colonoscopy in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by The Cleveland 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 3 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 Mar 2012. 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?

Adenoma detection rates for each method (time frame: within the first 30 days after colonoscopy). 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 NCT01025960, 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 27 Mar 2012.
