About this study

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluation of colonic disorders such as colorectal cancer, IBD, polyps, and other conditions.

Read the detailed description

Colonic cancers are a major concern in the Middle East and the world in general, and every institute has attempted to initiate various clinical and investigatory procedures to detect the disease early in its development. From 2005 till 2010 an audit conducted at the Royal Liverpool University revealed that out of 8910 colonoscopies, 693 were incomplete (7.8%), and for 25% of failure was because of inadequate bowel preparation.

An adequate bowel preparation regimen is not only effective in cleansing the colon but should be well tolerated by patients. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution, an isosmotic non-absorbable polymer, is generally used for bowel preparation, because of its safety, effectiveness, and good tolerability. Quality of bowel cleansing depends not only on the formula used, but the preparation regimen also plays a role. Split dosing of the laxative offers, in general, better cleansing than a single dose preparation.

A large survey was also done in the USA in 2018 and demonstrated that split dose treatment was more tolerable than single-dose treatment for bowel preparation.

Also more recent study shows split-dose bowel preparation for colonoscopy with PEG is better than single-dose, in terms of adequate bowel preparation and polyp detection.

On the other hand , a large randomized trial of PEG regimens show, low-volume same-day resulted in similar bowel cleanliness compared with high-volume or low-volume split-dosing. Willingness to repeat and tolerability were superior with low-volume same-day compared with high-volume split-dose and similar to low-volume split-dose. Another most recent one demonstrated that same-day morning PEG regimen can be considered an effective well-tolerated, and acceptable bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

A same-day dose of bowel cleanser has several benefits compared with split-dose or previous-day dose: the fasting time is shorter and there is no sleep disturbance, which can be associated with split-dose or previous-day regimen.

What participants receive

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

  • Bowel preparationProcedure or surgery

    Also called colonoscopy

    to compare bowel cleanliness, compliance, tolerability, and patient satisfaction of a single regimen versus a split regimen for colonoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. colon cleansing

    to compare the efficacy of split-dose versus single morning administration of PEG solution for colon cleansing in patient undergoing colonoscopy using Boston Bowel Preparation Scale , and to assess the optimal preparation- to-colonoscopy (PC) interval .

    Measured: 2 hours before Bowel Preparation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bowel preparation in people with Colonic Cancer and Colonic Polyp, run by Egymedicalpedia at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

colon cleansing (time frame: 2 hours before Bowel Preparation). 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 May 2024.
