About this study

Official title: Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center Colonoscopy Quality Upgrade Project (Gangnam-CUP): Development of Quality Indicators and Quality Improvement Plan of Colonoscopy in Experienced Endoscopist.

The purpose of this study is to determine clinical factors affecting quality indicators of colonoscopy including adenoma detection rate, and whether quality of colonoscopy could be elevated by improving related factors.

Read the detailed description

This study is an extension of quality assurance program in Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center. This study is composed of five periods. First, quality indicators of colonoscopy in experienced endoscopists will be analyzed retrospectively from January 2011 to december 2014. Individual differences and changes of quality indicators in every endoscopist will be verified. In second period, from January 2015 to March 2015, quality assurance program will be activated. Endoscopists will be educated by EQUIP (Endoscopic Quality Improvement Program). Also split-regimen bowel preparation instead of same-day regimen and Boston bowel preparation scale will be introduced to standardize disparity of grading. Third, prospective trial starts from April 2015 to March 2018. All endoscopists will receive feedbacks of their own adenoma detection rates in every 3 months. Changes of quality indicators for each endoscopist will be investigated, and annually monitored by institutional review board. If there is a significant improvement of quality indicators in interim assessment, prospective trial will be extended until April 2018. Fourth is wash-out period from April 2018 to march 2019. Feedbacks will be stopped and adenoma detection rates and quality indicators of endoscopists will be compared with those from prospective period. Finally, cumulative rate and mortality rate of colorectal cancers will be investigated until December 2019.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colonic Polyps and Colonic Neoplasms, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ji Yeon Seo, M.D. (82-2-2112-5641, sjy@snuh.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adenoma detection rate (time frame: 8 years). 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 Apr 2016.
