About this study

Official title: Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Assessor-blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CitraFleet (Sodium Picosulphate) as an Evacuating Treatment Prior to Colonoscopy.

The purpose of this study is to determine any significant differences in the efficacy and acceptability between CitraFleet and Klean Prep® (polyethylene glycol) for the preparation of gastrointestinal subjects undergoing a colon examination.

Read the detailed description

The composite principal objective of the current study will therefore be, to determine any significant differences in the joint variable of efficacy and acceptability between CitraFleet and Klean Prep® (polyethylene glycol) for the preparation of subjects undergoing a colon examination.

The evaluation will be carried out by two blinded assessors, independent of the investigator who performed the procedure (endoscopist investigator). It will be assessed from images of different sections of the colon: cecum, ascending, transverse, descending and rectum and subsequent confirmation by Principal Investigator if an agreement has been reached between the two blinded assessors or whether it is necessary to reach consensus.

The evaluation of the subject's acceptability will be assessed using a 5 point scale which assesses the difficulty of taking the product, the degree of discomfort caused by it, and the taste of the drug.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of CitraFleet.

In addition a second exploratory arm of CitraFleet was included in this study (CitraFleet Exploratory arm). The study is not powered to make formal statistical comparisons for this arm. Exploratory assessment of this arm against the main CitraFleet regimen and Klean-Prep will be made in order to run future trials design with this schedule.

Being tested
Sodium picosulphate, light magnesium oxide and anhydride citric acid., Polyethylene glycol, KCl, NaCl, sodium sulphate anhydrous and sodium bicarbonate.
Keywords
Colonoscopy, Preparation, Evacuating, Bowel Cleansing.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Percentage of subjects who find the agent easy to take or tolerable using a 5 point scale which assesses, the difficulty of taking the product, the degree of discomfort caused by it, and the taste of the drug, recorded in the subject questionnaire

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of adverse reactions.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sodium picosulphate, light magnesium oxide and anhydride citric acid. and Polyethylene glycol, KCl, NaCl, sodium sulphate anhydrous and sodium bicarbonate. in people with Subjects Undergoing a Complete Exploratory Diagnostic Colonoscopy for the First Time., run by Laboratorios Casen-Fleet S.L.U. at 15 sites in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 15 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Spain. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

Percentage of subjects that achieve 'excellent' or 'good' cleansing in the Fleet® Grading Scale for Bowel Cleansing. (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Apr 2011.
