Trial summary

The goal of distal attachment devices is to enhance an endoscopist's adenoma detection rate (ADR). A device called EndoCuff Vision (ECV) has been introduced that employs a single row of flexible arms to evert colonic folds, thus optimizing mucosal visualization and enhancing ADR.

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of EndoCuff Vision in Improving Adenoma Detection Rate in a Large Screening-Related Cohort

The goal of distal attachment devices is to enhance an endoscopist's adenoma detection rate (ADR). A device called EndoCuff Vision (ECV) has been introduced that employs a single row of flexible arms to evert colonic folds, thus optimizing mucosal visualization and enhancing ADR. ECV has been shown to be efficacious in improving ADR within the context of randomized trials. However, no 'real-world' studies have been published assessing the effectiveness of ECV in non-trial settings. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of ECV use on ADR in a routine screening-related population.

What participants receive

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

  • Endocuff Vision (ECV)Device

    Detachable disposable (single-use) device that fits over the distal colonoscope end.

Study groups in NCT04395352
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pre-ECVPatients having undergone colonoscopy prior to the introduction of ECV (November 1 2018 to April 30 2019).
ECVPatients having undergone colonoscopy after the introduction of ECV (June 1 2019 to November 30 2019).
Receives: Device: Endocuff Vision (ECV)

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma detection rate (ADR)

    Proportion of an endoscopist's screening-related colonoscopies during which one or more adenoma was biopsied or removed

    Measured: Intra-procedural

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Adenoma detection rate among patients with positive fecal immunochemical tests

    Proportion of an endoscopist's colonoscopies performed for +fecal immunochemical test (FIT), or indications other than positive FIT during which one or more adenoma was biopsied or removed. In order to be included in the non-FIT ADR category, a patient must not have undergone a colonoscopy at CCSC within the last four years of the index procedure.

    Measured: Intra-procedural

  2. SSADR (sessile serrated adenoma detection rate)

    Proportion of an endoscopist's screening-related colonoscopies during which one or more sessile serrated adenoma was biopsied or removed

    Measured: Intra-procedural

  3. CIR (cecal intubation rate)

    Proportion of an endoscopist's screening-related procedures in which the cecal pole is intubated, as landmarked by direct visualization of the appendiceal orifice, ileocecal valve, or both.

    Measured: Intra-procedural

  4. Procedure time

    Total time spent by an endoscopist from the start of the colonoscopy procedure (insertion of the colonoscope through the anus) to the end of the colonoscopy (removal of the colonoscope from the anus). This variable will be calculated only for cases in which no pathology was encountered.

    Measured: Intra-procedural

  5. Nurse-assessed patient comfort scores (NAPCOMs)

    Validated score for determining patients' procedural comfort. Scored from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating higher discomfort intensity, frequency, and/or duration.

    Measured: Intra-procedural

  6. Number of patients with immediate adverse events

    Adverse events occurring at the time of colonoscopy or before discharge, including bleeding or perforation.

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Number of patients with delayed adverse events

    Adverse events within 30 days of the index procedure, including delayed bleeding, delayed perforation, or acute healthcare utilization (emergency department visit or hospital admission) for any other reasons deemed related to index colonoscopy.

    Measured: Within 30 days of index procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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 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 20 May 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 Canada. 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?

Adenoma detection rate (ADR) (time frame: Intra-procedural). 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 20 May 2020.
