Trial summary

Although colonoscopy with polypectomy can prevent up to 80% of colorectal cancers, a significant adenoma miss rate still exists, particularly in the right colon. Optimizing the detection of adenomas and sessile serrated lesions in the right colon is crucial to increase the effectiveness of colonoscopy in colorectal… Read more about this study

About this study

Although colonoscopy with polypectomy can prevent up to 80% of colorectal cancers, a significant adenoma miss rate still exists, particularly in the right colon. Optimizing the detection of adenomas and sessile serrated lesions in the right colon is crucial to increase the effectiveness of colonoscopy in colorectal cancer prevention.

Last generation Fuji videocolonscopes incorporates the Linked Color Imaging (LCI), a recently developed technology that differentiates the red colour spectrum more effectively than White Light imaging thanks to its optimal pre-process composition of light spectrum and advanced signal processing. The increased colour contrast results in more accurate delineation of abnormal inflammatory or neoplastic findings of colonic mucosa. Preliminary data suggest that LCI may be improve the detection of neoplastic lesion of colon.

The investigators performe a tandem prospective study to compare the right colon adenoma miss rates of LCI colonoscopy with those of conventional white light colonoscopy.

Therefore participants scheduled for colonoscopy for the assessment of symptoms or for colorectal cancer screening/surveillance receive the examination of the right colon twice, in a back to back fashion, with standard white light (WL) and with LCI. Patients are randomly assigned (1:1), via computer-generated randomisation with block size of 20, to which procedure is done first. The endoscopist are masked to group allocation until immediately before the cecum is reached. Examinations are performed with Fuji videocolonscopes series 700 (EC-760R, EC-760ZP).

What is being measured

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

  1. Right colon adenoma miss rate

    Number of adenomas identified during the second right coloninspection/ overall number of adenomas identified during the first and the second right colon inspection

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Right colon advanced adenomas (size>1 cm and/or high grade displasia and/or villous component) miss rate

    Number of advanced adenomas identified during the second right coloninspection/ overall number of advanced adenomas identified during the first and the second right colon inspection

    Measured: One year

  2. Right colon sessile serrated lesions miss rate

    Number of sessile serrated lesions identified during the second right coloninspection/ overall number of sessile serrated lesions identified during the first and the second right colon inspection

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LCI (Linked color imaging) in people with Adenoma Colon Polyp, run by Valduce Hospital 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Right colon adenoma miss rate (time frame: One year). 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 NCT03279783, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Sep 2017.
