About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Parallel Group Phase III Study Comparing the Bowel Cleansing Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of NER1006 (a Low Volume Bowel Cleansing Solution) Versus MOVIPREP Using 2-Day Split-Dosing and 1-Day Morning Split-Dosing Regimen in Adults.

This study evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NER1006 versus MOVIPREP in adult patients requiring bowel cleansing prior to any procedure that requires a clean bowel, using a 2-Day evening/morning Split-Dosing and 1-Day morning only Split-Dosing regimens. Approximately 810 patients will be randomised with the aim of achieving a minimum of 245 patients in each of the 3 groups.

Being tested
NER1006, 2-Day Split-Dosing, NER1006,1-Day Morning Split-Dosing, MOVIPREP, 2-Day Split-Dosing
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • NER1006, 2-Day Split-DosingDrug

    The subject will self-administer the first dose of the assigned investigational product in the evening prior to the scheduled colonoscopy and take mandatory additional clear fluid. Subject will take the second dose together with mandatory additional clear fluids on the morning of the colonoscopy.

  • NER1006,1-Day Morning Split-DosingDrug

    The subject will self-administer the first dose of the investigational product on the morning of the colonoscopy and take mandatory additional clear fluid.

    After a 1-2 hour break the subject will self-administer the second dose plus additional clear mandatory fluid.

  • MOVIPREP, 2-Day Split-DosingDrug

    The subject will self-administer the first dose of the assigned investigational product in the evening prior to the scheduled colonoscopy and take recommended additional clear fluid. Subject will take the second dose together with recommended additional clear fluids on the morning of the colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Successful Bowel Cleansing (Overall Colon)

    The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). A final HCS grading of A, B, C or D was derived. Grades A and B are classified as successful (i.e. all mucosa could be visualized) and C and D are classified as unsuccessful. Comparison of overall success of cleansing with NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day versus MOVIPREP was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

  2. Number of Patients With 'Excellent Plus Good' (Highly Effective) Bowel Cleansing (Colon Ascendens)

    The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). Highly effective cleansing in the colon ascendens corresponded to scores 3 (Good) or 4 (Excellent) of the HCS. Adequate plus failure of cleansing corresponded to score 0-2. Comparison of 'Excellent plus good' cleansing of the colon ascendens using NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day versus MOVIPREP was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adenoma Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens)

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the colon ascendens.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

  2. Adenoma Detection Rate (Overall Colon)

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the overall colon when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the overall colon.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

  3. Polyp Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens)

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Polyp detection rate (PDR) defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the colon ascendens.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

  4. Polyp Detection Rate (Overall Colon)

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the overall colon when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus number detected when MOVIPREP is used. PDR defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the overall colon.

    Measured: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NER1006, 2-Day Split-Dosing, NER1006,1-Day Morning Split-Dosing and MOVIPREP, 2-Day Split-Dosing in people with Colorectal Cancer and Colorectal Carcinoma, run by Norgine at 29 sites in 7 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 24 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 15 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in Poland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom and 2 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients With Successful Bowel Cleansing (Overall Colon) (time frame: Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02273167, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 May 2018.
