Trial summary

Benign adenomas of the colon have the potential to degenerate and become malignant. Therefore adenomatous polyps should be detected and resected during colonoscopy. Factors like advanced age and male gender are associated with the detection of adenomas. Read more about this study

About this study

Benign adenomas of the colon have the potential to degenerate and become malignant. Therefore adenomatous polyps should be detected and resected during colonoscopy. Factors like advanced age and male gender are associated with the detection of adenomas. The same epidemiological pattern can be found with regard to colon diverticula. Furthermore, western world countries report higher incidences of both colorectal carcinoma as well as diverticular disease. It is not known whether a correlation exists between both entities. Some recent data have postulated higher adenoma detection rates in patients with concomitant diverticular disease (Rondagh EJ et al. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2011; 23:1050-5. Kieff BJ et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2004; 99: 2007-11). If a positive correlation could be found this would possibly affect recommendations regarding colonoscopy surveillance intervals for patients with and without diverticular disease. The investigators therefore plan to conduct the following trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma detection rate

    After obtaining the histopathological diagnosis of resected polyps (approximately 3 days - 2 weeks after colonoscopy ) accuracy of optical diagnosis can be determined

    Measured: up to 2 weeks (participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatient treatment, an expected average of 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Polyp detection rate

    a maximum of one day is expected for colonoscopy

    Measured: up to one day

  2. Frequency of colon diverticulosis

    a maximum of one day is expected for colonoscopy

    Measured: up to one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Adenoma and Diverticulosis, run by Technical University of Munich at 2 sites in Germany.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 detection rate (time frame: up to 2 weeks (participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatient treatment, an expected average of 2 weeks)). 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 21 Nov 2016.
