Trial summary

Adequate quality of bowel preparation(BP) is important for colonoscopy. Several guidelines recommend that split-dose of 4L PEG should be used as a standard regime for BP. However, the high-volume PEG still results in lower compliance to the regime and increased cost. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Single Dose of 2L PEG on Bowel Preparation in Average-risk Patients

Adequate quality of bowel preparation(BP) is important for colonoscopy. Several guidelines recommend that split-dose of 4L PEG should be used as a standard regime for BP. However, the high-volume PEG still results in lower compliance to the regime and increased cost.

Some high risk factors for inadequate BP have been identified, including old age, constipation, diabetes, the use of narcotics and prior history of inadequate BP. For average-risk patients without the high risk factors, the procedure of BP could be easier. In the previous study, with the use of single dose of 2L PEG, more than 90% of average-risk patients achieved adequate BP. Here investigators hypothesized that compared with the standard split dose of 4L PEG, single dose of 2L PEG may be not inferior in BP quality while may be accompanied with better tolerability.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Single dose of 2L PEGDrug

    Patients at average risk for inadequate BP were given instructions for bowel preparation through phone call a day before scheduled colonoscopy. Patients began to drink 2 L of PEG 4-6 hours before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes.

  • Split dose of 4L PEGDrug

    All patients at average risk for inadequate BP were given instructions for bowel preparation through phone call a day before scheduled colonoscopy. the participants began to drink the first 2 L of PEG at 7:00-9:00 PM on the day before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes. On the day of the procedure, patients took the remaining 2 L 4-6 hours before colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of adequate bowel preparation(defined as a total BostonBowel Preparation Score ≥6 with each segmental BBPS≥2)

    The adequacy of bowel preparation is defined as Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), a 4-point scoring system applied to each of 3 broad regions of the colon: the right side, the transverse section, and the left side. They were summed to give the total BBPS score, which ranged from 0 to 9.The withdrawal procedure was recorded by vedios. The BBPS and segmental scores in each segment were judged by one endoscopist who was familiar with the criteria of BBPS and blinded to group allocation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Polyp detection rate

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Rate of adverse events

    adverse events, such as vomiting, nausea, headache, abdominal pain

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Cecal intubation rate

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Cecal intubation time

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Withdrawal time

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Willingness to repeat bowel preparation

    The number of patients have a willingness to undergo a repeated bowel preparation if needed

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single dose of 2L PEG and Split dose of 4L PEG in people with Health Behavior, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 3 sites in China.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 13 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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?

Rate of adequate bowel preparation(defined as a total BostonBowel Preparation Score ≥6 with each segmental BBPS≥2) (time frame: 1 year). 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 Sep 2017.
