Trial summary

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death and its' incidence is rising in most European countries. Colonoscopy has been shown to reduce CRC incidence, however its effectiveness depends on the sensitivity to detect pre-malignant lesions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening: Using Narrow Band Imaging for Colonic Sessile Serrated Lesions

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death and its' incidence is rising in most European countries. Colonoscopy has been shown to reduce CRC incidence, however its effectiveness depends on the sensitivity to detect pre-malignant lesions.

Our aim is to evaluate narrow band imaging (NBI) during colonoscopy and serum miRNAs as novel tools for the early detection of colonic sessile serrated lesions (SSL). The investigators will perform a multicenter-randomized-controlled-trial to study the role of NBI in SSL detection.

Being tested
narrow band imaging withdrawal, white light withdrawal
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Polyps

    Measured: immediate

  2. Serrated lesions <10 mm detected per colonoscopy

    Measured: immediate

  3. SSL detection rate

    histologically defined according to the WHO criteria

    Measured: immediate

  4. Adenoma detection rate

    number of patients with at least 1 adenoma/total number of participants

    Measured: immediate

  5. Adenomas detected per colonoscopy

    Measured: immediate

  6. Advanced (malignant) adenocarcinoma detection rate

    Measured: immediate

  7. Incidence of procedure related adverse events

    Measured: immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing narrow band imaging withdrawal and white light withdrawal in people with Colon Cancer and Colon Sessile Serrated Adenoma/Polyp, run by Hospital Beatriz Ângelo at 3 sites in Portugal.

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 4 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 26 Sep 2018. 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 Portugal. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Contact Alexandre O Ferreira, MD (alex.gastrohep@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

average number of serrated lesions ≥10 mm detected per colonoscopy (time frame: immediate). 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 NCT02876133, 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 26 Sep 2018.
