About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomised Study Comparing Modified Sano's (MS) Classification and NBI International Colorectal Endoscopic (NICE) for Differentiating Colorectal Lesions

OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to compare a recently-developed endoscopic classification with an established one for colorectal lesions in a randomised trial between 2013 and 2015.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVE: Current practice requires histopathological assessment to confirm diagnosis for colorectal lesions detected at colonoscopy. Advances in endoscopic imaging contribute for real-time diagnosis which, apart from being cost and time-saving, also guides decision-making and reduces risks. Our study aimed to compare a recently-developed endoscopic classification with an established one.

DESIGN: The modified Sano's classification (MS) was compared to the Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic classification (NICE) in a randomised trial between 2013 and 2015. An experimented endoscopist classified each polyp, what was compared to histopathology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy measures in comparison to the final histopathology in regards to polyps' subtype (neoplastic versus non-neoplastic)

    Comparison of NICE or MS with the final histopathology in regards to polyps' subtype (i.e. non-neoplastic = Hyperplastic Polyp (HP) and neoplastic = Sessile Serrated Adenoma/Polyp (SSA/P), Adenomatous Polyp (AP), Traditional Serrated Adenoma (TSA), superficial cancer and invasive cancer)

    Measured: After two weeks of the colonoscopy

  2. Accuracy measures in comparison to the final histopathology in regards to polyps' invasiveness

    Comparison of NICE or MS with the final histopathology in regards to invasiveness (SSA/P, AP, TSA or superficial cancer versus invasive cancer)

    Measured: After two weeks of the colonoscopy

  3. Accuracy measures in comparison to the final histopathology in regards to polyps' subtype (SSA/P versus non-SSA/P)

    Comparison of MS with the final histopathology in regards to SSA/P (SSA/P versus non-SSA/P)

    Measured: After two weeks of the colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Accuracy in regards to negative predictive value of diminutive distal colorectal polyps

    Comparison of NICE or MS with the final histopathology in regards to <5 mm distal to the sigmoid polyps (NPV for HPs - according to the PIVI guidelines)

    Measured: After two weeks of the colonoscopy

  2. Agreement in predicting post-colonoscopy surveillance interval with final histopathology

    Comparison of NICE or MS with the final histopathology in regards to prediction of surveillance interval (according to the PIVI guidelines)

    Measured: Immediately after the colonoscopy (endoscopic) and 2 weeks after (histopathology)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Modified Sano's classification and NICE classification in people with Colorectal Neoplasms and Colorectal Polyp, run by Lyell McEwin Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 Nov 2016. 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?

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?

Accuracy measures in comparison to the final histopathology in regards to polyps' subtype (neoplastic versus non-neoplastic) (time frame: After two weeks of the colonoscopy). The study lists 3 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 NCT02963207, 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 Nov 2016.
