Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Health condition
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied:
Colorectal polyps are common and usually benign and produce no symptoms. There may be single or multiple polyps and they become more common as people age. There is some evidence that most cancers develop from polyps, particularly from adenomatous polyps; therefore, detection and eradication strategies for polyps are important. In most cases, the polyps may be removed at the same time a colonoscopy is performed. 236915 0

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
During the first part of the procedure the colonoscope is inserted through the rectum and advanced to the large intestine, using conventional colonoscopy in both groups for detecting lesions. Thereafter, patients will be randomly assigned to colonoscope withdrawal using either conventional wide-angle (approximately 10 minutes) or narrow-band imaging (NBI) technology. The colonoscopies will be performed using High Definition monitors. Appropriate and complete bowel preparation before colonoscopy will be ensured using four liters of polyethylene glycol lavage until clear rectal fluid will be evacuated as well as cleaning enema

Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
The narrow-band imaging (NBI) technology in conventional video colonoscopes uses special filters to narrow a light source, eliminating red, enhancing structures and rendering vascular structures in black (approximately 10 minutes).

Diagnosis
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Sealed randomization envelopes are provided and are held centrally at each investigational site. An envelope is opened when a patient agrees to take part and when the endoscopist will begin to retrieve the colonoscope from the cecum.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
This is a multicentre, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study. The study will enroll consecutive patients who will underwent colonoscopy using a conventional colonoscope at the Reina Sofía Clinic and Colombia Clinic in Bogota, Colombia. During the first part of the procedure the colonoscope is inserted through the rectum and advanced to the large intestine, using conventional colonoscopy in both groups for detecting lesions. When the colonoscope will begin to be retrieved from the cecum, patients will be randomized to conventional colonoscopy or the NBI system colonoscopy. A computer random list was used.
