Trial summary

The objective of this study is to determine the optimal withdrawal time for colonoscopy. A 6-minute withdrawal time is currently the standard of care but has only been evaluated in an observational fashion. The investigators believe that this should be validated in a standardized fashion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Adenoma Detection and Miss Rates at Colonoscopy Associated With a Six-minute Withdrawal Time vs a Three-minute Withdrawal Time

The objective of this study is to determine the optimal withdrawal time for colonoscopy. A 6-minute withdrawal time is currently the standard of care but has only been evaluated in an observational fashion. The investigators believe that this should be validated in a standardized fashion. If the benefits of a 6 minute withdrawal are proven in this study (ie a low polyp/adenoma miss rate and a high polyp/adenoma detection rate), then this will support widespread adoption of a 6 minute withdrawal as the standard of care. This in turn may decrease the occurence of 'interval colon cancers', which are early colon cancers arising in subjects despite their having undergone colonoscopy. Our hypothesis is that the polyp/adenoma detection rate will be unacceptably low and the polyp/adenoma miss rate will be unacceptably high in the 3-minute withdrawal group when compared to the 6-minute withdrawal group.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will be randomized to colonoscopy with either a 6-minute withdrawal time or a 3-minute withdrawal time. Patients will then undergo colonoscopy. All colonoscopies will be performed by a GI attending (standard of care). The colonoscopy is typically performed under conscious sedation using medications such as fentanyl and midazolam for comfort (standard of care). Occasional patients undergo colonoscopy under general anesthesia. For all patients, advancement of the colonoscope to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal of the colonoscope in each of 3 segments of the examined colon (right side of colon, transverse colon and left side of colon). Following examination of each individual segment, the colonoscope will be readvanced to the proximal end of the segment and a 2 minute withdrawal will be re-performed. For those randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist. For those randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will also be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist. All patients will therefore undergo a second look colonoscopy with a 6-minute withdrawal time ('de-facto' standard of care). Polyp/adenoma detection and miss rates will then be calculated and compared between the two groups.

What participants receive

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

  • 3-minute withdrawal timeProcedure or surgery

    For subjects randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

  • 6-minute withdrawal timeProcedure or surgery

    For subjects randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

What is being measured

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

  1. Polyp/Adenoma Detection Rate

    Polyp/adenoma detection rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy.

    Measured: This will be calculated up to one week after data collection.

  2. Polyp/adenoma Miss Rate

    Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected on the tandem portion of each segment of the colonoscopy, divided by the total number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered/resected.

    Measured: Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated up to one week after data collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3-minute withdrawal time and 6-minute withdrawal time in people with Adenoma and/or Adenocarcinoma and Adenoma, run by Stanford University at 2 sites 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2015. 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 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?

Polyp/Adenoma Detection Rate (time frame: This will be calculated up to one week after data collection.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01802008, 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 30 Apr 2015.
