About this study

Official title: 1L Morning-only Polyethylene Glycol Plus Ascorbic Acid With Prepackaged Low-residue Diet Versus 2L Polyethylene Glycol Plus Ascorbic Acid for Bowel Preparation: a Randomized Trial

Background 2L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid (PEGA) is known to be as effective as standard 4L polyethylene glycol for bowel preparation. However, the volume of this regimen is still large. Therefore, the present investigators evaluated the potential of 1L PEGA with prepackaged low-residue diet (PLD) for an alternative to 2L PEGA.

Aim: To evaluate efficacy of 1L PEG with ascorbic acid combined with prepackaged low-residue diet as bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

Methods: The subjects were randomly assigned to either groups. PEGA group received 2L PEGA split regimen. PLD group received PLD on the day preceding colonoscopy and 1L PEGA on the morning of colonoscopy. One blinded physician performed colonoscopy and evaluated the degree of bowel preparation using Boston bowel preparation score (BBPS). A questionnaire regarding tolerability and safety were also gathered.

What participants receive

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

  • 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid with prepackaged, low residue dietProcedure or surgery

    Participants who were allocated to the 2 L PEG with ascorbic acid (PEGA) group took 250 ml of PEG with ascorbic acid at 15-min intervals, completing 1 L of the PEG with ascorbic acid protocol at 8:00 PM on the day prior to the procedure. The remaining 1 L of the PEG with ascorbic acid solution was administered in the same manner at 6:00 AM on the day of the procedure. Participants assigned to the 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid with PLD (PLD) group consumed a prepackaged, low residue diet (ZeroCol, Korea Medical Food Inc., Seoul, Korea) which consisted of a breakfast, lunch and dinner, the day prior to colonoscopy. The Participants took 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid solution at 6:00 AM on the day of the colonoscopy in the same way as described above. All of the subjects ingested 500 mL of water for every 1 L of 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid solution consumed. The Participants completed all of the administrations at least 2 hours before the colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Achievement of preparation adequacy

    Definition: Achievement of preparation adequacy was defined by as having BBPS scores of 2 or 3 for all colon segments.

    BBPS was measured by Physician who performing colonoscopy. To maintain precise evaluation, the physician participated in an online training program from www.cori.org/bbps. For each colon segment, BBPS preparation score ranged 0 to 3. Definition of BBPS are presented at www.cori.org/bbps

    Measured: assessed at the colonoscopy day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tolerability and adverse events

    Tolerability and adverse events were measured by comprehensive questionnaire. Participants were asked about the presence of distressing symptoms, such as abdominal pain/discomfort or nausea/vomiting, and if they had problems taking the entire dose. The subjects also reported the percentage of the preparation they completed (100%, 90~99%, <90%), regardless of solution or meals. Adverse events are categorized by CTCAE v4.03.

    Measured: assessed at the colonoscopy day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid with prepackaged, low residue diet in people with Colonoscopy and Colon Polyp, run by Seoul National University Bundang 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 4 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 6 Nov 2017. 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?

Achievement of preparation adequacy (time frame: assessed at the colonoscopy day). 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 NCT03329339, 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 6 Nov 2017.
