About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of High-Definition White-light Colonoscopy Versus High-Definition White-light Colonoscopy With Endocuff Vision for Endpoints of Procedural Times

This study seeks to compare colonoscopy results between a standard method and one using a distal scope attachment (Endocuff Vision).

Read the detailed description

For this study, subjects will be randomized into one of two groups (those who receive a standard colonoscopy and those who receive a colonoscopy with an Endocuff Vision attachment). Results will then be compared between the two; these include insertion time (time it takes to reach the cecum of the large intestine), inspection time (time spent examining the large intestine), the total time per each polypectomy (removal of polyps in the colon), and the total procedure time of the colonoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Endocuff VisionDevice

    Subjects that are randomized to undergo their colonoscopy procedure with the Endocuff Vision device will have the device placed on the colonoscope that will be used during their procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inspection Time Comparisons for Each Method (Standard vs. Endocuff Vision)

    Inspection time is time spent actually examining the colon. This was measured with a stopwatch and calculated by subtracting washing, suctioning, polypectomy and biopsy times from total withdrawal time. It was measured during colonoscopy by a study assistant using a stopwatch.

    Measured: During the withdrawal portion of the colonoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Insertion Time Comparisons for Each Method (Standard vs. Endocuff Vision)

    Insertion time is the time it takes from the colonoscope first being inserted to when the furthest section of the colon (which is called the cecum) is reached.

    Measured: During the insertion portion of the colonoscopy procedure

  2. Total Procedure Time Comparisons for Each Method (Standard vs. Endocuff Vision)

    Total procedure time is the time from the initial insertion through the complete withdrawal of the scope

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

  3. Detection Rates

    The percentage of participants with at least one of the indicated polyp types found during standard colonoscopy compared to colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision.

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

  4. Polyps Per Colonoscopy

    Number of adenomas or sessile serrated polyps found per colonoscopy of Standard colonoscopy compared to Colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision.

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

  5. Boston Bowel Preparation Score

    Boston Bowel Preparation Score for patients receiving standard colonoscopy compared to colonoscopy with endocuff vision.

    The total score for the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale ranges from 0 to 9, with higher score indicating a better bowel preparation quality.

    The quality of the bowel preparation is assessed by the attending gastroenterologist.

    Measured: During the withdrawal portion of the colonoscopy procedure after cleaning of the colon

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endocuff Vision in people with Colorectal Polyp and Colorectal Adenoma, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Inspection Time Comparisons for Each Method (Standard vs. Endocuff Vision) (time frame: During the withdrawal portion of the colonoscopy procedure). 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 NCT03361917, 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 6 Aug 2019.
