About this study

Official title: Osmotic or Large Volume Lavage for Optimal Bowel Preparation - a Single-blind Randomized Trial

Comparison between large volume and osmotic agent lavage for optimal colonoscopy bowel cleansing, randomizing adult outpatients by invitation letter

Read the detailed description

This randomized quality assurance trial aims to compare cleansing quality of two different principles of colonoscopy lavage. Large volume PEG solutions are considered safe, but cumbersome and inpalatable, while osmotic solutions are generally more acceptable, however, the risk of electrolyte disturbances or renal decompensation may increase.

The study will focus on patient experience and compliance, as well as cleansing quality, endoscopic findings and other technical parameters of the colonoscopy procedure that may be adversely affected by poor bowel cleansing. Three centers will participate, ensuring a diverse patient population. 800 patients are planned for recruitment, but an interim assessment of statistics of the primary aim parameter (bowel cleansing) will be performed to adjust the number.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laxabon and CitraFleet in people with Bowel Cleansing for Colonoscopy, run by Helse Stavanger HF at 2 sites in Norway.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Norway. 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?

Bowel cleansing quality (time frame: 1 Day). 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 NCT01624454, 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 9 May 2013.
