About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Open-Label, Pilot Study to Determine the Safety, Efficacy, and Patient Preference of Kristalose as a Bowel Evacuant Prior to Colonoscopy

To determine whether Kristalose causes a significant increase in hydrogen and/or methane gas levels in patients requiring bowel evacuation, and also to determine the safety, efficacy, and patient preference of Kristalose as a bowel evacuant

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open-label, pilot study to determine the safety, efficacy, and patient preference of Kristalose as a bowel evacuant prior to colonoscopy. Prior to colonoscopy, subjects will also undergo evaluation for the production of hydrogen and methane gases in the patient's gut (before and after receiving Kristalose) as assessed by a breath analysis instrument. Safety will be assessed by the occurrence of any treatment emergent adverse events. Efficacy will be determined by the endoscopist's rating of the cleanliness of the colon and the incidence of treatment failure (insufficient evacuation of the bowel).

Kristalose

What participants receive

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

  • KristaloseDrug

    The dosing regimen of Kristalose will be nine 20-gram doses (one dose every 30 minutes for 4 straight hours) taken the evening before the colonoscopy procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hydrogen and Methane Gas Production

    To evaluate the primary objective of hydrogen and methane gas production as measured by:

    • Pre- and post-dose breath analysis for hydrogen and methane gas.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy

    To evaluate the secondary objective of efficacy, the following endpoints will be measured:

    • Physician's determination of the cleanliness of the colon will be evaluated by completion of the Boston bowel prep scale.[4]
    • The number and percentage of patient's who by the physician's determination are considered treatment failures (patients with insufficient evacuation of the bowel=Boston bowel prep score < 5, and/or any colon segment score of 0).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Kristalose in people with Bowel Evacuant Prior to Colonoscopy, run by Benaroya Research Institute 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2011. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Hydrogen and Methane Gas Production (time frame: 3 months). 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 6 Oct 2011.
