About this study

Official title: Endorings™ Assisted Colonoscopy Versus Standard Colonoscopy for Polyp Detection in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial

This study evaluates the impact of Endorings™ assisted colonoscopy on the number of polyps detected per patient compared to standard colonoscopy without use of EndoRings™. Half of the participants will receive EndoRings™ assisted colonoscopy, while the other half will receive standard colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for detection of colorectal neoplasia (polyps and cancers) but it is well known that colonoscopy is associated with a neoplasia miss rate of up to 25%.

One such method of reducing the neoplasia miss rate is cap assisted colonoscopy, where a cap is placed at the distal end of the colonoscope.The theory behind how the cap aids mucosal visualisation is that it depresses and flattens colonic folds, thereby improving visualisation on the proximal sides of folds.

Investigators aim to evaluate the impact of one such cap assisted device: EndoRings™ on polyp detection rates. EndoRings™ has been shown to improve polyp detection rate by 51% compared to 29% for standard colonoscopy in a recent tandem endoscopy study. EndoRings™ has received FDA approval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard colonoscopy and EndoRings™ in people with Colorectal Neoplasia and Intestinal Neoplasms, run by Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 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 4 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Number of polyps per patient (time frame: 14 months). 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 NCT02785783, 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 4 Feb 2019.
