Trial summary

Publications of the use of bowel cleansers in usual clinical practice are lacking. Patient adherence to investigational products increases in the context of clinical trials. By the same token, efficacy of interventions may be overestimated in clinical trials. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Quality of Bowel Cleansing in a Real Clinical Practice Setting (CALICOL Study)

Publications of the use of bowel cleansers in usual clinical practice are lacking. Patient adherence to investigational products increases in the context of clinical trials. By the same token, efficacy of interventions may be overestimated in clinical trials.

For this reason, an observational study to collect data on the effectiveness of several colonic preparations when these are used under usual clinical practice is proposed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with adequate colon cleansing

    Percentage of patients with punctuation in Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) ≥ 5

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of patients with adequate colon cleansing of different administration schedules

    Percentage of patients with punctuation in BBPS ≥ 5 in each administration schedule

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  2. Identify factors influencing bowel cleansing quality

    Relationship between BBPS ≥ 5 and age, gender, ethnicity, weight, height, tobacco consumption, concomitant diseases, medications and indication for colonoscopy in a multivariate analysis.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  3. Influence of total volume of liquid ingestion in the effectiveness of bowel cleansing agents

    Relationship between BBPS ≥ 5and the volume of liquid ingestion

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  4. Patients' tolerance

    Percentage of each adverse event reported per patient in each administration schedule

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  5. Quality of bowel cleansing comparison among different bowel cleansing agents

    Comparison of percentage of patients with BBPS ≥ 5 between different bowel cleansing agents

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

  6. Subjects' satisfaction

    Comparison of subjects' satisfaction between different bowel cleansing agents with a five point likert scale

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy, run by Casen Recordati S.L. at 1 site in Spain.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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?

Percentage of patients with adequate colon cleansing (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 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 26 Jan 2018.
