Trial summary

Colonoscopy is the gold-standard for the evaluation of the colorectal mucosa. Colonoscopy quality indicators are the adenoma detection rate, the rate of cecal intubation and the bowel preparation. The role of diet in preparing for colonoscopy is not fully established. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Low Residue Diet 3 Days Versus 1 Day as Preparation for Colonoscopy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Colonoscopy is the gold-standard for the evaluation of the colorectal mucosa. Colonoscopy quality indicators are the adenoma detection rate, the rate of cecal intubation and the bowel preparation.

The role of diet in preparing for colonoscopy is not fully established. Currently there is not enough evidence available to choice between 3 days of low residue diet versus 1 day.

The research hypothesis is that the low residue diet offers a non-inferior bowel preparation and an improved tolerance.

Being tested
1 day low residue diet, 3 day low residue diet
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • 1 day low residue dietOther

    Also called low fiber diet

    Patients are interviewed and instructed by a nurse prior the colonoscopy. They receive oral and written dietary information. In case of morbidity associated with bad preparation they are given bisacodyl the night before the colonoscopy.

  • 3 day low residue dietOther

    Also called low fiber diet

    Patients are interviewed and instructed by a nurse prior the colonoscopy. They receive oral and written dietary information. In case of morbidity associated with bad preparation they are given bisacodyl the night before the colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bowel preparation

    Measured with the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale from 0 until 9. 9 represents an excellent preparation.

    Measured: During the colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Diet tolerance

    Using Likert scale. From 1 to 5, lower is better tolerance.

    Measured: It is reported before entering the endoscopy room. Regarding the 3 or 1 days on low fiber diet depending on which study group is the participant.

  2. Preparation tolerance

    Using Likert scale. From 1 to 5, lower is better tolerance.

    Measured: It is reported before entering the endoscopy room. Regarding the 3 or 1 day on bowel preparation depending on which study group is the participant.

  3. Adenoma detection rate

    Proportion of colonoscopies with detection of colorectal cancer or adenoma excluding distal hyperplastic

    Measured: up to 2 weeks after colonoscopy depending on pathology department workload.

  4. Endoscopic diagnosis

    Final endoscopic diagnosis. For example; normal, diverticulosis, polyps, colorectal cancer, etc.

    Measured: It is assessed during the colonoscopy and will be reported the same day.

  5. Cecum intubation rate

    Cecum intubation will be assessed during each colonoscopy if the endoscope reaches the cecum.

    Measured: It will be calculated through study completion, approximately 1 year, for all the study period using all participants having the colonoscopy done

  6. Intubation time

    time lapse from the start of the exploration until cecum is reached.

    Measured: it is assessed from the start of the colonoscopy until cecum is reached (1 day)

  7. Withdrawal time

    Time lapse between cecum withdrawal the end of the exploration.

    Measured: it is assessed from at the beginning of the withdrawal of the colonoscope until the colonoscopy is finished. (procedure)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1 day low residue diet and 3 day low residue diet in people with Colonoscopy and Colon Adenoma, run by Parc Taulí Hospital Universitari at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 12 Feb 2020. 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 Spain. 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?

Bowel preparation (time frame: During the colonoscopy). 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 12 Feb 2020.
