Trial summary

The investigators' null hypothesis is that a withdrawal time of 9 to 10 minutes is non-inferior to a withdrawal time of 12 minutes or greater. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the additional diagnostic yield (# of missed lesions) for withdrawal times exceeding 10 minutes for… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessing Effect of Withdrawal Time on Adenoma Detection Rate for Screening Colonoscopy: A Randomized Tandem Study

The investigators' null hypothesis is that a withdrawal time of 9 to 10 minutes is non-inferior to a withdrawal time of 12 minutes or greater. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the additional diagnostic yield (# of missed lesions) for withdrawal times exceeding 10 minutes for screening/surveillance colonoscopies. Although withdrawal times longer than the standard 6-minute recommendation have been shown to be beneficial, there is limited prospective evidence investigating the benefit or lack thereof for withdrawal times greater than 9-10 minutes.

Being tested
Colonoscopy with 6 minute withdrawal, Colonoscopy 9 minute withdrawal, Colonoscopy 12 minute withdrawal
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Rectal Neoplasms, Colorectal Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Colonoscopy with 6 minute withdrawalProcedure or surgery

    Withdrawal time will be determined using a digital stopwatch by the nursing staff.

  • Colonoscopy 9 minute withdrawalProcedure or surgery

    Withdrawal time will be determined using a digital stopwatch by the nursing staff.

  • Colonoscopy 12 minute withdrawalProcedure or surgery

    Withdrawal time will be determined using a digital stopwatch by the nursing staff.

What is being measured

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

  1. Miss rate of polyps

    • Miss rate = missed polyps/missed polyps + polyps found during 1st exam
    • Polyps is defined as adenomas and sessile serrated adenomas (SSA)

    Measured: Time of colonoscopy (day 1)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Miss rate of advanced adenomas

    • Miss rate = missed advanced adenomas/missed advanced adenomas + advanced adenomas found during 1st exam
    • Advanced adenoma defined as a polyp ≥ 10mm, adenomas with high-grade dysplasia or villous architecture, serrated lesions with dysplasia, or traditional serrated adenomas

    Measured: Time of colonoscopy (day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Colonoscopy with 6 minute withdrawal, Colonoscopy 9 minute withdrawal and Colonoscopy 12 minute withdrawal in people with Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Futility). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Miss rate of polyps (time frame: Time of colonoscopy (day 1)). 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 31 Aug 2022.
