Trial summary

During standard colonoscopy a substantial number of colorectal polyps may be missed. Previous studies have found a 12-28% of miss rate for all polyps, a 31% for hyperplastic polyps and 6-27% for adenomas. Read more about this study

About this study

During standard colonoscopy a substantial number of colorectal polyps may be missed. Previous studies have found a 12-28% of miss rate for all polyps, a 31% for hyperplastic polyps and 6-27% for adenomas. In this study it is tested whether a retro viewing endoscope can detect more colorectal polyps in comparisson to standard forward viewing endoscopy. Further, ppolyps detected, mean adenomas per Patient and withdrawal time are recorded.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Timo Rath, MD (+49 9131 85 35000, timo.rath@uk-erlangen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adenoma detection rate (time frame: 8 months). 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 27 Sep 2019.
