About this study

Official title: A Novel Disposable Sheathed Gastroscopic System for Cecal Intubation:Safety and Efficacy in Unsedated Colonoscopies

A novel disposable sheathed gastroscope system has been shown to be safe and more efficient in clinical practice during gastroscopy. This novel disposable sheathed endoscope system could effectively prevent cross-infection by simply taking off the contaminated sheath after examination of a patient and placing a new sheath on the endoscope. In this way, investigators can save the endoscopic reprocessing time and also decrease the need for endoscopic cleaning and disinfecting equipment.

Participants may think that placing a new sheath on the endoscope can decrease the success rate of cecal intubation in patients undergoing screening colonoscopy. With a new sheath on the endoscope during scope insertion can probably increases distension of the colonic lumen and loop formation. The probable adhesion may increase the discomfort of investigators and participants. But a previous clinical study by investigators' team showed that the participants' feeling were no significant difference (Z = -1.783, P = 0.075) between sheathed and conventional groups. No significant differences were observed in optical clarity, or pathology detection rate. There were no complications, and no microbial contamination was detected. Based on this study, investigators hypothesize that compared with conventional group, placing a new sheath on the endoscope does not significantly reduce the success rate of cecal intubation in average patients.

The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of colonoscopy placing a new sheath on the endoscope versus the conventional method in average participants. The primary outcome is cecal intubation success rate. The secondary outcomes include cecal intubation time, maximum pain score during colonoscopy, overall pain score after colonoscopy and adenoma detection rate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A novel disposable sheath in people with Cecal Intubation Success Rate, run by Yuqi He.

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 13 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Cecal intubation success rate (time frame: up to ten months). 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 13 Jul 2015.
