About this study

Official title: Blue Laser Imaging Versus Narrow Band Imaging Versus White Light Imaging for Detection of Adenoma in the Proximal Colon: A Prospective Randomized Study

This is a prospective randomised trial comparing the proximal adenoma detection rate and miss rate by blue laser imaging (BLI), narrow band imaging or white light colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

Study population:

Consecutive adult patients, age 40 or above, undergoing outpatient colonoscopy in the Queen Mary Hospital are invited to participate in this prospective randomized study. Patients are excluded if they are unable to provide informed consent or have undergone previous colorectal resection, or have personal history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or other polyposis syndromes. Patients who are considered to be unsafe for polypectomy including patients with bleeding tendency and those with severe comorbid illnesses will be excluded. In addition, patients are excluded post-randomization if either the cecum could not be intubated for various reasons or Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score is <2.

Study design and randomization:

This is a prospective randomized crossover trial comparing the proximal adenoma detection rate and miss rate of BLI (ELUXEO endoscopic system) vs NBI (290 video system) vs WLI which is conducted in the Endoscopy Center of the Queen Mary Hospital of Hong Kong. Eligible patients are randomly allocated to four groups in a 1:1:1 ratio to undergo tandem colonoscopy of the proximal colon, defined as cecum to splenic flexure. The three groups are: (1) NBI follow by WLI; (2) BLI follow up WLI; (3) WLI follow by WLI. Randomization will be carried out by computer generated random sequences and stratified according to endoscopist's experiences (experienced versus fellows) and indications of colonoscopy (symptomatic vs screening/surveillance). All procedures are performed with high-definition endoscopes. The patients are blinded to the group assignment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tandem colonoscopy in people with Colon Adenoma, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 21 Apr 2022. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Proximal adenoma detection rate (time frame: one 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 NCT03696992, 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 21 Apr 2022.
