About this study

This study will evaluate the feasibility of using the Third Eye Panoramic device in conjunction with standard colonoscopes in a clinical setting.

Patients will undergo a colonoscopy procedure during which the study device will provide video imaging of areas of the colon that are difficult to evaluate with the colonoscope alone.

The utility of the device will be assessed from the impressions of the investigators and from telephone follow-up with subjects to assess for post-procedural complications.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using the Third Eye Panoramic device along with a standard colonoscope as a means of enhancing the ability of endoscopists to view areas that are hidden from the view of the colonoscope.

Colonoscopy is generally agreed to be the best method for detecting and removing cancers and pre-cancerous adenomas in the colon. However, numerous studies have demonstrated that from 22% to over 40% of adenomas are missed during standard colonoscopy. More importantly, 12% of large adenomas (at least 1 cm) are missed even by expert endoscopists using meticulous technique with the best available equipment, and these large adenomas are the ones that are most likely to transform into cancer.

Factors such as quality of bowel cleansing and time spent examining the colonic mucosa have been shown to affect miss rates. However, comparison with the results of CT colonography has shown that 2/3 of missed adenomas are located behind folds in the wall of the colon, in areas that are very difficult to see with a standard forward-viewing colonoscope.

When clipped onto the tip of a standard colonoscope, the Third Eye Panoramic device provides two additional miniature video cameras and light sources that offer views to the left side and right side of the colonoscope's tip. These lateral views complement the forward view of the colonoscope's camera to result in a "panoramic" view of over 300°. This extreme wide-angle view allows the endoscopist to examine the areas located behind folds.

In this study, each subject will undergo a colonoscopy procedure utilizing the Third Eye Panoramic device along with a standard colonoscope.

The investigators will evaluate issues related to usability and safety based on their experience and impressions, with telephone follow-up with subjects to assess for any post-procedural complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Device usability factors

    Device usability as measured by investigators' qualitative impressions regarding ease of use and any potential interference with function of colonoscope.

    Measured: 1 hour (average duration of procedure)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Device video factors

    Video image quality and ability to view areas behind folds as measured by investigators' qualitative impressions

    Measured: 1 hour (average duration of procedure)

  2. Patient safety assessed by number of subjects with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Number of subjects with adverse events

    Measured: At time of procedure and up to 48 hours after completion of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Third Eye Panoramic device in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Avantis Medical Systems 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 27 Jun 2017. 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?

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?

Device usability factors (time frame: 1 hour (average duration of procedure)). 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 NCT02368977, 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 27 Jun 2017.
