Trial summary

Morning-only colonoscopy preparation may improve efficiency by allowing same-day patient preparation and colonoscopy. The aim of the investigators study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of morning-only Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) to split-dose preparation in hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Morning-only With Split-dose Polyethylene Glycol for Colonoscopy Preparation in Hospitalized Patients: A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Study

Morning-only colonoscopy preparation may improve efficiency by allowing same-day patient preparation and colonoscopy. The aim of the investigators study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of morning-only Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) to split-dose preparation in hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, prospective, endoscopist-blinded study in which hospitalized patients scheduled to undergo diagnostic colonoscopy were randomly assigned to receive one gallon of PEG either the morning of colonoscopy or as a split-dose (evening-morning). The primary end point is efficacy of colonoscopy preparation measured by the Ottawa scale. The investigators pre-specified a non-inferiority margin of 1.5 for the difference in Ottawa scale between arms. Secondary end points are patient compliance and tolerance. N: 120 hospitalized patients scheduled for diagnostic colonoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Split-dose polyethylene glycolOther

    Half gallon of polyethylene glycol to be taken between 7-9 pm on the day before colonoscopy and the remaining half between 7-9 am on the day of colonoscopy

  • Morning-only polyethylene glycolOther

    One gallon of polyethylene glycol to be taken between 5am and 9am on the day of colonoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the efficacy of colonoscopy preparation measured by the Ottawa scale

    Colonoscopy was performed by gastroenterology fellows under the supervision of attending physicians and both were blinded to the type of preparation taken by the study patients. Bowel cleansing was evaluated by the Ottawa scale. Scoring of each part of the colon (right, middle and left) was done separately and the total amount of fluid was noted. The scores were then added to calculate the total score out of 14.

    Measured: Day of procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient compliance

    Before the patients were taken to the endoscopy suite, they completed a questionnaire, asking the amount of preparation that was taken to evaluate compliance.

    Measured: Day of procedure

  2. Patient tolerance

    Before the patients were taken to the endoscopy suite, they completed a questionnaire to evaluate tolerance for taking the preparation. Patients were asked about side-effects like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and bloating.

    Measured: Same day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Split-dose polyethylene glycol and Morning-only polyethylene glycol in people with Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy, run by Cook County Health 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 6 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 18 Jun 2023. 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?

To compare the efficacy of colonoscopy preparation measured by the Ottawa scale (time frame: Day of procedure). 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 18 Jun 2023.
