Trial summary

Colonoscopy outcome is strictly related to the adenoma detection rate (ADR). An endoscopy withdrawal time >6min has been suggested to increase the ADR since it allows for thorough evaluation of the several hidden areas of the colon. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of a Longer Withdrawal Time or of the Use of a Wide-angle Endoscope on the Adenoma Detection Rate of Screening Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy outcome is strictly related to the adenoma detection rate (ADR). An endoscopy withdrawal time >6min has been suggested to increase the ADR since it allows for thorough evaluation of the several hidden areas of the colon. The FUSE, full spectrum endoscopy system, has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of missed lesions due to its wide-angle view. In the present study the authors evaluate the impact of WT on ADR for High Definition Standard Endoscopes with just a single imager to the FUSE endoscope.

Read the detailed description

Introduction Colonoscopy outcome is strictly related to the adenoma detection rate. An endoscopy withdrawal time >6min has been suggested to increase the adenoma detection rate since it allows for accurate evaluation of the several hidden areas of the colon. The FUSE endoscope has been demonstrated also to reduce the rate of missed lesions due to its wide angle view.

Aim of the study to evaluate the impact on the adenoma detection rate either of the use of a FUSE endoscope or of interventions directed at optimizing withdrawal time.

to assess the impact of different factors in influencing the withdrawal time

Methods A prospective non-randomized observational single-center study involving consecutive outpatients, aged 18-85 yr, undergoing colonoscopy with different indications. Previous abdominal colon resection, obstruction, inadequate preparation and incomplete examination were exclusion criteria.

In a 3-month period 4 expert endoscopists will performed 500 colonoscopies either with standard endoscope or with FUSE without a dedicated withdrawal time protocol. Colonoscopy withdrawal times will be measured without the endoscopists' knowledge of being monitored.

During a subsequent 3-month period the same endoscopists will perform further 500 colonoscopies with standard and FUSE scopes using dedicated inspection techniques and a minimum 6-minute withdrawal time. In this second phase withdrawal times will be again measured, but endoscopists will be aware of being monitored.

The following parameters will be recorded:

  • Demographic and general characteristics
  • Indications to colonoscopy
  • Colonoscopy findings
  • Quality of preparation: Boston scale
  • Time to reach the coecum
  • Withdrawal time The adenoma detection rate and the mean adenomas per patients will be calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma detection rate

    The rate of patient with at least one adenoma detected at colonoscopy

    Measured: Up to 10 days from the end of endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Factors affecting the withdrawal time

    Analysis of the factors (quality of preparation, indications for colonoscopy) likely to influence the withdrawal time

    Measured: Up to 10 days from the end of endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ColoRectal Cancer and Colon Polyp, run by ASST Rhodense at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 20 Jan 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

Adenoma detection rate (time frame: Up to 10 days from the end of endoscopy). 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 20 Jan 2021.
