Trial summary

Objective: To compare the incidence of peri-colonoscopy hyponatremia associated with PEG 3350 + sports drink (PEG-SD) versus PEG 3350-electrolyte solution + sodium sulfate + sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid (PEG-ELS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of hyponatremia in the peri-colonoscopy period

    Measured: blood drawn 30 minutes post colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Development of serum electrolytes levels outside the normal range for

    Sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium

    Measured: blood drawn 30 minutes post colonoscopy

  2. Change from baseline for serum electrolytes

    Sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium

    Measured: blood drawn 30 minutes post colonoscopy

  3. Change in renal function from baseline

    Creatinine, calculated GFR

    Measured: blood drawn pre colonoscopy and 30 minutes post colonoscopy

  4. Changes in the following from baseline a. Serum vasopressin b. Serum osmolality c. Urine electrolytes and osmolality

    Measured: blood drawn pre colonoscopy and 30 minutes post colonoscopy

  5. Serum cortisol and TSH levels for only patients who develop hyponatremia

    Measured: blood drawn 30 minutes post colonoscopy

  6. Hemodynamic/volume changes at baseline and immediately prior to colonoscopy

    • Weight
    • Blood pressure supine and upright - systolic, diastolic
    • Pulse supine and upright
    • Development of orthostatic change: yes/no
    • Development of orthostatic symptoms - light-headed, dizzy, diaphoretic, etc.: yes/no

    Measured: hemodynamic measurments taken pre and post colonoscopy

  7. Adverse Events - Incidence and severity using 10-point Likert scale

    • GI - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating
    • Light headedness

    Measured: 1 hour post colonoscopy assessment

  8. Prep Completion: <90% vs. > 90%

    Measured: one time assessment pre colonoscopy

  9. Indication for colonoscopy: Screen/Surveillance vs. Symptom

    Measured: one time assessment pre colonoscopy

  10. Assessment of independent risk factors for hyponatremia

    • Age
    • Sex
    • Race
    • Medications
    • Medical history
    • BMI
    • Anxiety - Beck scale
    • Fluid intake for 24 hours prior to colonoscopy (not including the prep or fluids required to accompany the prep); patients will be shown a liter container to assist with their estimate.
    1. Less than 3 Liters ii. 3-5 liters iii. More than 5 liters

    Measured: one time assessment pre colonoscopy

  11. Efficacy

    • Whole colon prep: adequate (excellent/good) vs. inadequate (fair/poor)
    • Cecal or small bowel intubation - Yes/No

    Measured: endoscopist will evaluate during colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEG-SD and PEG-ELS in people with Hyponatremia, run by Thomas Jefferson University 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 23 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 5 Jun 2013. 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 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?

Development of hyponatremia in the peri-colonoscopy period (time frame: blood drawn 30 minutes post colonoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01299779, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jun 2013.
