Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will include a total of 250 patients. All patient randomized PEG+ascorbica acid(coolprep) and picosulfate magnesium citrate(picolyte), each group will include 125 patients. The investigators decided sample size to 200 patients after comparing Ottawa scale. The investigators assumed there would be defference about 20 percent of bowel preparation between them. Recently, Ottawa scale of bowel preparation reported about 5 points. The investigators assumed that there could be differences between them about 1 point. The investigators decided each groups per 100 patients, if significance level was 0.05 and test power is 80 percent. The investigators start this study with a total of 220 patients because 10 percent of 200 patients could be drop out. The investigators readjust about 30 patients after interim analysis.

About this study

Official title: A Randomised Controlled Trial of a 2 Litre Polyethylene Glycol Solution + Ascorbic Acid Versus Sodium Picosulphate + Magnesium Citrate Solution for Bowel Cleansing Prior to Colonoscopy

The investigators will compare with PEG+ascorbic acid and picosulfate+magnesium citrate about bowel preparation, patient's satisfaction, side effects to identify effectiveness of new bowel preparation drug.

Read the detailed description

The investigators can find easily colon cancer and poly by colonoscopy, but bowel preparation is very important to find the lesion. Desirable bowel preparation drug must be clearly removed stool, effective on colonoscopic finding and pathologic finding, quickly administrated agent and eliminated stool, comfort for patient, and less side effects.

PEG is very safe osmotic laxative. New agent(coolprep) which add ascorbic acid is less salty and less volume. Picosulfate+magnesium citrate(picolyte) taste orange, can be easily prepared bowel for colonoscopy by good taste and small volume. Magnesium with citrate acts like osmotic agent, picosulfate acts irritant agent.

The investigators will compare with PEG+ascorbic acid and picosulfate+magnesium citrate about bowel preparation, patient's satisfaction, side effects to identify effectiveness of new bowel preparation drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ottawa scale

    • Ottawa scale

    Individual evaluation of right, mid, and left colon:

    No liquid - 0 Minimal liquid, no suctioning required - 1 Suction required to see mucosa - 2 Wash and suction - 3 Solid stool,not washable - 4

    Evaluation of the entire colon:

    Overall quantity of fluid 0-2 minimal -0 moderate - 1 Large - 2

    • Aronchick score scale Minimal liquid, visible more than 95% of colon mucosa - excellent Clear liquid covered 5~25% of mucosa, visible more than 90% of colon mucosa - good Solid stool, washable, visible more than 90% of colon mucosa - Fair Solid stool, not washable, visible less than 90% of colon mucosa not washable - Poor Bowel preparation is needed - Inadequate

    Measured: Ottawa scale will be checked at the end of the colonoscopy. Participants won't be followed up because of this study.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient satisfaction

    Taste, Comfort

    Measured: Questionnaires related with satisfaction and side effects will be written just befor colonoscopy. Participants won't be followed up because of this study.

  2. Symptoms related with bowel preparation

    Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal discomfort, Abdominal distension, Headache, Dizziness, Numbness

    Measured: Questionnaires related with side effects will be written just befor colonoscopy. Participants won't be followed up because of this study.
