About this study

Hypothesis: Patients who undergo bowel preparation with PEG 3350 + ascorbic acid may have significant changes of serum electrolytes.

A new PEG solution (Moviprep = PEG 3350 + ascorbic acid) for colonoscopy reduces the amount of cathartic solution to 2 liters, but requires drinking of additional liquid for optimal results. Ingestion of a high volume of free water bears a risk for severe changes of serum electrolytes, particularly for sodium and potassium.

In this trial, patients undergo regular bowel preparation for standard colonoscopy with Moviprep (2 liters Moviprep split-dose plus ≥2 liters of free liquid until sufficient cleansing is achieved). Blood samples for serum sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, phosphate, calcium and serum osmolarity are taken before the beginning of the prep procedure and right before colonoscopy. The interval between both blood samples that will be compared is roughly 24 hours. Additionally, the volume of prep solution and additional liquid is recorded. The quality of bowel preparation is visually rated during colonoscopy with a validated score.

Pre- and postpreparation serum parameters will be compared. Primary outcome measure is the proportion of patients who have a serum sodium beyond the reference values after the completion of bowel preparation. Secondary outcome parameters are the proportion of patients with other serum electrolytes or serum osmolarity beyond the reference. Moreover, changes of serum electrolytes and osmolarity will be correlated with the amount of prep solution and liquid.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of patients with serum potassium or calcium or chloride or magnesium concentration beyond the limits of normal after the completion of bowel preparation

    Measured: within 2 hours before the beginning of colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colonoscopy, run by Klinik Bogenhausen at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 26 Feb 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Proportion of patients with serum sodium concentration beyond the limits of normal after the completion of bowel preparation (time frame: within 2 hours before the beginning of 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 26 Feb 2019.
