About this study

Official title: Comparison of Same-Day and Split-Dose Preparation With Sodium Picosulfate/Magnesium Citrate (Bowklean) for Afternoon Colonoscopy: A Randomized Non-Inferiority Study

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of administration routine bowel cleansing medication (Bowklean) for the Bowel Preparation at Different Times Prior Colonoscopy in the morning or in the afternoon.

Read the detailed description

Sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate (SPMC) is a small-volume bowel cleansing agent with similar efficacy and better tolerability than polyethylene glycol. However, there was limited data about the bowel cleansing efficacy of SPMC in comparing the same-day and split-dose preparation for afternoon colonoscopy.

This randomized, single-center, endoscopist-blinded, non-inferior study compared same-day (101 subjects) and split-dose (96 subjects) preparation with SPMC for afternoon colonoscopy. One additional prospective observation group of 100 subjects receiving colonoscopy in the morning was included as an observation group to compare bowel preparation in morning and afternoon colonoscopy. Efficacy of bowel cleansing was evaluated by the Aronchick Scale, Ottawa Bowel Preparation Scale (OBPS), Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), and the Bubble Scale (TBS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Aronchick Scale Bowel Cleaning Scale

    Aroochick Scale ranges from score 1 : excellent, 2: good, 3: fair, 4: poor 5: failed

    Measured: during colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) Bowel Cleaning Scale

    The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale Score 0 : inadequate ; Score 1: fair ;Score 2: good; Score 3: excellent . min : 0 , max: 3

    Measured: During Colonoscopy

  2. Colonscopy Bubble Scale

    Colon Bubble Scale : Grade A : no bubble , Grade B: little bubble , Grade C: bubble of half of the lumen , Grade D: bubble of entire lumen. Grade A means the best and Grade D means the worst.

    Measured: During Colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bowklean in people with Bowel Preparation, run by Changhua Christian Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 23 Jul 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Aronchick Scale Bowel Cleaning Scale (time frame: during 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 23 Jul 2021.
