Trial summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether segmental re-examination of the each segment (right colon, mid-colon, and left colon) could increase the proximal adenoma detection rate (ADR) and to evaluate the time-effectiveness of this approach. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Segmental Re-examination of Colon for Adenoma Detection in Colonoscopy: a Randomized, Controlled Trial

The aim of this study was to determine whether segmental re-examination of the each segment (right colon, mid-colon, and left colon) could increase the proximal adenoma detection rate (ADR) and to evaluate the time-effectiveness of this approach.

Read the detailed description

The investigators prospectively recruited patients (aged ≥45 and ≤75 years) who were scheduled to undergo colonoscopy at our center. Patients were excluded if they had advanced colonic cancer, prior resection of the proximal colon, inflammatory bowel disease, or polyposis syndrome, or were unable to provide informed consent. In addition, if the quality of bowel preparation was unsatisfactory (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale [BBPS] score <2 in any segment of the colon), or if the cecum could not be intubated during the colonoscopy, patients were excluded.

A randomization list was generated with the randomization algorithm of random sorting, using Excel program. Included patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: segmental re-examination group, in which the each segment (right colon, mid-colon, and left colon) was examined twice segmentally; or control group, in which the withdrawal time in the each segment was about 2 minutes.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Per-patient adenoma detection rate (ADR) at each segment of colon

    Measured: 7 days

  2. per-patient polyp detection rate

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Withdrawal time

    Measured: 1 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing segmental reexamination in people with Adenoma, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 27 Jul 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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: 7 days). 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 NCT03268200, 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 Jul 2023.
