About this study

This study is to compare polyethylene glycol and sodium phosphate for colonic cleansing of colonoscopy.

Being tested
polyethylene glycol, sodium phosphate

What participants receive

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

  • polyethylene glycolDrug

    All patients should receive dietary guidance, and eat a low-residue diet three days before colonoscopy. For polyethylene glycol group (group P): the day before colonoscopy, 750 mL (1 box) of polyethylene glycol solution should be drunk 2 hours after dinner; the other 1500 ml (2 boxes) of polyethylene glycol solution should be taken 4-6 hours before the examination. After oral laxatives were finished, 20 ml dimethicone would be taken orally as defoamer. All the enteroscopy should by performed by the same juniar clinician, and related indicators were recorded.

  • sodium phosphateDrug

    All patients should receive dietary guidance, and eat a low-residue diet three days before colonoscopy. For sodium phosphate group (group S), 750 mL (1 box) of sodium phosphate solution should be drunk 2 hours after dinner; and the other 750 mL (1 box) of sodium phosphate solution should be taken 4-6 hours before the examination. After oral laxatives were finished, 20 ml dimethicone would be taken orally as defoamer. All the enteroscopy should by performed by the same clinician, and related indicators were recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cleansing quality

    The quality of colon cleansing was assessed by the endoscopist with Boston bowel preparation scale.

    Measured: during the procedure of colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. the duration of the procedure

    time to cecal intubation and withdrawal time

    Measured: during the procedure of colonoscopy

  2. patient tolerance

    patient tolerance about oral laxatives.

    Measured: before the procedure of colonoscopy

  3. the degree of difficulty of the procedure

    6-point scale: extremely easy, easy, fairly easy, fairly difficult, difficult, extremely difficult

    Measured: at the end of the procedure of colonoscopy

  4. polyps or other endoscopic lesions

    For polyps or other endoscopic lesions, a histopathologic diagnosis was systematically obtained and recorded

    Measured: at the end of the procedure of colonoscopy

  5. patient pain

    (visual analog scale, 0-10).

    Measured: at the end of the procedure of colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing polyethylene glycol and sodium phosphate in people with Polyethylene Glycol and Sodium Phosphate, run by Dong Yang at 1 site in China.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2020. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Cleansing quality (time frame: during the procedure of colonoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Apr 2020.
