About this study

To compare the adenoma miss rate with the EndoRings™ vs. the adenoma miss rate with Standard view colonoscopy.

To compare the polyp miss rate with the EndoRings™ vs. the polyp miss rate with Standard view colonoscopy.In addition, time measurements including time to cecum, time for withdrawal and overall procedure time will be analyzed and reported for each group.

Read the detailed description

Patients who are scheduled for screening, surveillance or diagnostic colonoscopy will be recruited to the study and randomized to one of two groups. Each enrolled subject will undergo two "back-to-back" procedures.

Subjects in Group A (study group) will undergo a Standard view colonoscopy followed immediately by an EndoRings™ colonoscopy. Subjects in Group B (control group) will undergo an EndoRings™ colonoscopy followed immediately by a Standard view colonoscopy.

Results from the two groups will be analyzed and compared, with primary outcome measures being adenoma miss rate and polyp miss rate. Secondary outcome measures will include withdrawal time, total procedure time and characteristics of polyps detected, including size and histological results.

Subjects will be followed through a 24 hour and a 7-days telephone interview for analysis of unexpected adverse events. Clinical results will be analyzed using various statistical measures of significance.

Multi-center study with up to 126 patients. Up to 126 treated patients (2 groups of 57 patients +6 drop-out patients) will be enrolled into the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Tandem ColonoscopyDevice

    Also called Colon screening

    Each patient will undergo a double procedure: standard colonoscopy using the EndoRings™ add-on device and Standard colonoscopy (without using the EndoRings™ add-on device) in a randomized order.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma and Polyp Miss Rate

    Group A- we measured the Adenoma\&Polyp miss rates in the first procedure with Standard (based on what we discovered on the second procedure with the EndoRings).

    Group B- we measured the Adenoma\&Polyp miss rates in the first procedure with EndoRings (based on what we discovered on the second procedure with the Standard).

    Adenoma/Polyp Miss Rate means: total number of adenomas or polyps detected during the second procedure per Group divided by the total number of adenomas/polyps detected overall per Group]*100

    Measured: 30min for Standard colonoscopy and 30min for EndoRings colonoscopy- 1 hour in total.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Total Number of Therapeutic Interventions Performed

    Ability to perform therapeutic interventions, such as biopsies, polypectomies, APC etc. during the Standard Colonoscopy and during the EndoRings Colonoscopy. The number of interventions was not compared, this was just a safety outcome meant to prove there was no difficulty in performing interventions in both arms.

    Measured: Interventions during procedure

  2. Procedure Time A Stopwatch Will be Used for Stopping the Timing of the Procedure for Any Polypectomy Performed and Then Restarting Once the Polypectomy is Completed, Meaning That Purely Procedure Time is Measured

    The following will be recorded: a. Time for intubation to the cecum. b. Time for withdrawal from the cecum to the anal verge. c. Total procedure time A stopwatch will be used for stopping the timing of the procedure for any polypectomy performed and then restarting once the polypectomy is completed, meaning that purely procedure time is measured

    Measured: During the procedure

  3. Sedation

    Sedation dosage

    Measured: During the procedure

  4. Scope Centering Ability

    Ability to center the scope inside the gastrointestinal tract.

    Measured: During the procedure

  5. Colon Area Screened

    Subjective evaluation of the additional area screened by the physician.

    Measured: During the procedure

  6. Patient Satisfaction

    Follow up phone call was done 24 hours post procedure. Patients were asked the following : "On a 0 to 10 scale, with "0" being no pain and "10" being pain as bad as you can imagine, how would you describe your colonoscopy experience?" 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

    Measured: 24 hours post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tandem Colonoscopy in people with Colon Cancer, run by EndoAid at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Israel, Netherlands. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adenoma and Polyp Miss Rate (time frame: 30min for Standard colonoscopy and 30min for EndoRings colonoscopy- 1 hour in total.). 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 NCT01955122, 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 6 Mar 2017.
