Trial summary

Although colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of colonic polyps, the missed rate for colonic adenoma ranged from 15-32%. In particular, missed colonic polyps in the right side colon have been suggested to be the cause for interval cancer that developed after a prior negative colonoscopy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Colonoscopy With Narrow Band Imaging for Diagnosis of Proximal Serrated Polyps

Although colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of colonic polyps, the missed rate for colonic adenoma ranged from 15-32%. In particular, missed colonic polyps in the right side colon have been suggested to be the cause for interval cancer that developed after a prior negative colonoscopy.

Different endoscopic image enhanced modules like the narrow band imaging (NBI) have been developed to improve colonic polyp detection. However, it remains controversial whether the previous version of NBI helps to improve colonic polyp detection. The new generation colonoscope is equipped with high definition and improved narrow band imaging (NBI) which gives at least twice the viewable distance and contrast. The images obtained are far brighter with better resolution than the previous version. It however remains to be determined whether this enhanced imaging technique could help to improve colonic polyps detection.

Hypothesis:

The new generation NBI increases the detection rate of proximal serrated polyps and reduces the missed rate of all colorectal polyps.

Aims:

  • To determine whether the new generation NBI improve the detection rate of proximal serrated polyps.
  • To determine whether the new generation NBI improve the detection rate of all colorectal adenoma and polyps.
  • To determine whether the new generation NBI reduce the miss rate of colorectal adenoma and polyps.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colonic Neoplasm, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2015. 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 China. 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?

Detection rate of proximal serrated polyp (time frame: During colonoscopy). 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 29 May 2015.
