About this study

This is a research study about the usefulness of transparent cap during screening colonoscopy. The purpose of the research is to test the usefulness of adding small cap to the tip of the colonoscope. the investigators hypothesis is that Cap assisted colonoscopy will improve the detection of adenomatous polyps (polyps which can become colon cancer later on) in comparison to the standard colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized trial comparing the adenoma detection rate between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with a conventional colonoscope or with a cap-assisted colonoscopy. The aims of the study are:

  1. Compare ADR between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap.
  2. Compare the overall polyp detection rate between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap.
  3. Compare the cecal intubation rate and cecal intubation time between standard colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy.
  4. Compare the complication rate between standard colonoscopy and cap assisted colonoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Cap Assisted ColonoscopyDevice

    Plastic transparent cap added to the distal end of the colonoscope which can increase adenoma detection rate

  • Conventional colonoscopyDevice

    Regular colonoscopy as per standard clinical guidelines

Study groups in NCT01601431
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cap Assisted ColonoscopyExperimentalCap Assisted Colonoscopy uses a Cap which is a transparent hood which is attached to the distal end of the colonscope and allows depressing the colon folds in order to visualize hidden polyps behind the folds.
Receives: Device: Cap Assisted Colonoscopy
Conventional colonoscopyActive comparatorA conventional colonoscopy does not use a Cap in order to perform the procedure
Receives: Device: Conventional colonoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. ADR Differences in Hispanic Patients Undergoing a Screening Colonoscopy With and Without Cap.

    1. Compare ADR between Hispanic patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy with and without cap.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cap Assisted Colonoscopy and Conventional colonoscopy in people with Adenoma, run by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jun 2018). 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?

ADR Differences in Hispanic Patients Undergoing a Screening Colonoscopy With and Without Cap. (time frame: 1 year). 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 7 Jun 2018.
