Trial summary

We plan to conduct a randomized trial of tandem colonoscopies comparing water infusion and air insufflation for inspection of mucosa on withdrawal. In one randomized group, water infusion will be employed as the first method for mucosal inspection while in a second group, CO2 insufflation will be used first. Read more about this study

About this study

We plan to conduct a randomized trial of tandem colonoscopies comparing water infusion and air insufflation for inspection of mucosa on withdrawal. In one randomized group, water infusion will be employed as the first method for mucosal inspection while in a second group, CO2 insufflation will be used first. This study will be different than usual care since the participants will receive two successive or tandem colonoscopies versus one

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Water Infusion firstProcedure or surgery

    In this group patients will receive a colonoscopy with water infusion for mucosal inspection and then receive a colonoscopy with CO2 insufflation.

  • CO2 Insufflation FirstProcedure or surgery

    In this group patients will receive a colonoscopy with CO2 insufflation for mucosal inspection and then receive a colonoscopy with water infusion .

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma Miss Rate

    Adenoma-level miss rates will be calculated as the number of additional adenomas detected during the second examination divided by the total number of adenomas detected during both examinations

    Measured: Through procedure, an average of 1 hr

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient-level Miss Rate

    Patient-level miss rates will be calculated as the number of patients with one or more adenomas detected during the second examination, divided by the total number of patients with at least one adenoma in either examination

    Measured: 1 hour or the duration of the procedure

  2. Adenoma < 6mm Detection Rate

    Adenoma-level miss rates will be calculated as the number of additional adenomas < 6 mm detected during the second examination divided by the total number of adenomas< 6 mm detected during both examinations.

    Measured: 1 hour or the duration of the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Water Infusion first and CO2 Insufflation First in people with Adenoma and Colonic Neoplasms, run by White River Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Miss Rate (time frame: Through procedure, an average of 1 hr). 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 NCT03231917, 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.
