This prospective randomized controlled trial compared integrated water jet channel colonoscopy with traditional accessory channel colonoscopy in cecal insertion time among patients undergoing WE method colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

When the WE method colonoscopy were done with the accessory channel for both infusing and suctioning of water. The water had to be suctioned or infused alternatively and increaed the insertion time.

With the new designed endoscopy that integrated a separate water jet channel for infusing water, infusing and suctioning of water can be done at the same time. Besides, water jet pumping system could provide a powerful jet to help us open the collapse lumen and keep an appropriate distance between the mucosa and the lens, thus preventing loss of visualization. It will help the colonoscopist to find the way during insertion.

Two-channel groupExperimentalThe colonoscopy was done with the new designed colonoscopy that integrated a separate water jet channel for infusing water. The dirty water was removed through other accessory channel.

One-channel groupActive comparatorThe colonoscopy was done with the traditional colonoscopy. Water exchange was done by using the accessory channel for both infusing and suctioning of water.
Receives: Device: Accessory channel

What is being measured

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

  1. cecal insertion time

    Cecal insertion time was defined as the time from insertion into the rectum to the time when the colonoscope tip passed to a point proximal to the ileocecal valve so that the base of cecum was visible.

    Measured: 2 hours

Model description
A total of 120 patients were allocated into one of two groups by computerized randomization. In group A (Two-channel group), clear water was infused through the water jet channel and dirty water was sucked form the accessy channel. In group B (One-channel group), water exchange was done by using the accessory channel for both infusing and suctioning of water.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Water jet channel and Accessory channel in people with Colonoscopy and Colon Disease, run by Chih-wei Tseng at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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?

cecal insertion time (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT03279705, 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 29 Oct 2019.
