Trial summary

Adenomas, serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps are polypoid lesion in the colorectum. At the present moment, all polyps should be resected endoscopically, although only adenomas and serrated adenomas, but not hyperplastic polyps have the potential to develop colorectal cancer.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of WASP Classification in the Histological Evaluation of Diminutive Colorectal Polyps

Adenomas, serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps are polypoid lesion in the colorectum. At the present moment, all polyps should be resected endoscopically, although only adenomas and serrated adenomas, but not hyperplastic polyps have the potential to develop colorectal cancer. Some studies have investigated the value of the narrow-band imaging (NBI) on histological prediction of the polyp. This method is conducted in real time during colonoscopy, which leads to simplification of diagnostic procedures. For instance, it would be conceivable to resect diminutive polyps and discard them without further assessment by a pathologist. One problem in this context is a correct differentiation between hyperplastic polyps and serrated adenomas. These two polyp entities are known to show similar optical features. However, while serrated adenomas are premalignant lesions hyperplastic polyps have benign histology and never develop into cancer. It is therefore important to sufficiently distinguish hyperplastic polyps from serrated lesions.

In this study the investigators want to investigate whether the use of NBI would be capable to get accuracy of optical polyp predictions by more than 90% using the WASP (Workgroup serrAted polypS and Polyposis) classification. NBI is a light filter tool which can be activated by pressing a button at the endoscope. The use of NBI leads to an endoscopic picture which appears blue and enables endoscopists to better assess surface structures and vascular patterns. All polyps will be resected and send to pathology for further microscopic assessment. After completing the trial the investigators aim to compare accuracy of the optical diagnosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NBI in people with Diminutive Colorectal Polyps, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 18 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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 Zhi-Zheng Ge (021-58752345, zhizhengge@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of Surveillance time prediction of patients with at least one diminutive polyps under high confidence of diagnosis (time frame: Within two weeks after polypectomy). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2022.
