About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Efficacy and Acceptability of Split and Standard Dose Sodium Picosulphate/Magnesium Citrate for Bowel Cleansing Prior to Colonoscopy: the MAGIC-P Multicenter Study

This is an endoscopist-blinded, prospective, multicenter study involving adult outpatients aiming at evaluating whether sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate split dosing is associated to higher efficacy and acceptability in comparison to the standard dose regimen in bowel cleansing before colonoscopy

Read the detailed description

Picosulphate/magnesium citrate is a very effective, safe and tolerated low-volume preparation for colon cleansing. This study evaluates whether split dosing is associated to a further increase in efficacy and acceptability in comparison to the standard dose regimen. This is a multicenter, randomized, single-blind study performed in 15 endoscopic services in Italy.

Adult outpatients undergoing colonoscopy will receive picosulphate/magnesium citrate either in the standard dosing (group A, two sachets the day before endoscopy), or in the split dosing (group B, the second dose in the morning of colonoscopy). Bowel cleansing will be assessed using the Boston Scale (BBPS) and rated as adequate if >2 in each segment. Patient acceptance, satisfaction, and related symptoms will be also recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of adequate colon cleansing

    The primary endpoint of the study was the quality of overall colon cleansing, assessed by the endoscopist. Colon cleansing quality was dichotomized as "adequate" (score > 2 in each colon segment) or "inadequate" (score < 2 in one or more colon segments

    Measured: 24 hrs

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patients' acceptance, tolerability and compliance to the cleansing regimen

    The overall tolerance of the preparation and the severity of symptoms during the preparation period will be rated on a scale ranging from 0 (no discomfort) to 3 (severe discomfort). Patient acceptance of the preparation will be evaluated by a questionnaire with a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (worse) to 5 (best), assessing interference with daily activity, palatability, easiness in taking the product and the adjunctive clear fluid, and taste of product. Moreover, a nurse will ask the patient whether s/he have completed the prescribed regimen: compliance will be defined as poor for patients who consume less than 75% of product. Willingness to repeat the same preparation in the future will be also recorded.

    Measured: 24 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sodium picosulphate/magnesium Citrate in people with Colon Cleansing, run by Luigi Sacco University Hospital at 2 sites in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 13 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 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Rate of adequate colon cleansing (time frame: 24 hrs). 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 NCT01909219, 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 26 Jul 2013.
