About this study

Official title: Clinical Registry of Adverse Effects in the Preparation for Colonoscopy in Patients With Advanced Renal Failure

Bowel preparation for colonoscopy requires the administration of large amounts of fluids that can cause fluid and electrolyte disturbances and volume overload, especially in patients with advanced renal failure. Polyethylene glycol-based regimens are considered safe, even in patients with advanced renal failure. However, the incidence of adverse effects (AEs) in routine clinical practice is unknown. The main objective of this study is to carry out a prospective, observational, multicenter clinical registry of renal AE of the preparation for colonoscopy, in patients with advanced renal failure, within the usual clinical practice of the preparation. Variables related to kidney function, bowel-cleansing efficacy, and tolerance will also be recorded. A segmented analysis will be performed in patients with substitutive renal therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Bowel preparation for colonoscopy requires the administration of large amounts of fluids that can cause fluid and electrolyte alterations and volume overload, especially in patients with advanced renal failure. Routine clinical practice of bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol-based regimens, including in patients with advanced renal failure, is considered safe. The hydroelectrolytic AEs and worsening of renal failure are generally mild and transient. However, the incidence of AEs in routine clinical practice is unknown, because there is no prospective record of the incidence of renal AEs in these patients.

Objectives:

  1. Principal. To carry out a clinical registry of the renal AEs of the preparation for colonoscopy, in patients with advanced renal failure, within the usual clinical practice of the preparation.
  2. Secondary:
  • Study the efficacy of intestinal cleansing using the Boston bowel preparation scale.
  • Study the patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in terms of tolerability and acceptance of bowel preparation.

Study of the population and sample size: Outpatients with a scheduled colonoscopy for any indication and with moderate or severe renal impairment. Ages: 18-80, excluding partial colectomy, severe constipation, active intestinal disease, severe heart or liver failure, pregnancy or lactation, and refusal to authorize the clinical record of information. We calculated a sample size of 237 subjects to show an incidence of renal AD of 10%, with a precision of 4%.

Methods: Identify patients with a scheduled colonoscopy who present advanced renal failure, in the 60 days prior to the colonoscopy. Carry out a prospective, observational, multicenter clinical registry of the routine clinical practice of preparation for colonoscopy. Variables related to renal function, the efficacy of intestinal cleansing, and tolerance will be recorded. A segmented analysis will be performed in patients with substitutive renal therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis). The data will be collected on the REDCap-AEG online platform, which can be accessed by researchers from each center through an identification code, respecting the current Organic Law on Data Protection.

What participants receive

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

  • Follow-up with blood and urine analysisOther

    The patients will receive the preparation standards according to the usual clinical practice of each center. On the day of the colonoscopy, patient will be informed about this study and the informed consent will be requested to record the study information. Then, an analysis will be carried out. A second visit will be carried out, follow-up at 3-7 days, which will include a clinical interview and an analysis, being the unique intervention that patients receive.

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

  7. Glomerular filtration rate

    Glomerular filtration rate calculated with the MDRD formula and the CKD-EPI formula.

  13. Adequate bowel cleansing for colonoscopy

    Application of the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale to evaluate colonoscopy bowel cleansing. The efficacy of bowel preparation will be rated by blinded endoscopists using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Adequate bowel cleansing will be defined as a BBPS of 2 or more points in every segment of the colon and inadequate bowel cleansing will be defined by at least one of the colon segments with less than 2 points.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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

Contact Marco A Álvarez, MD, PhD (0034 933160595, maalvarez@althaia.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Global incidence of renal adverse effects (AEs) (time frame: 3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake). 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 18 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
