About this study

Official title: Detection of Adenomas in Screening Colonoscopy - Endocuff Study

The Endocuff study aims to show an increase of the number of detected adenomas in screening colonoscopies when a endocuff vision (Arc Medical Design Ldt Leeds England) is used.

Read the detailed description

Endocuff is a relatively new device which is intended to be attached to the end of the colonoscope. Several minor studies have shown that the use of Endocuff probably increases the number of detected polyps in colonoscopy. Endocuff is made of soft plastic and has been designed to give an optimal view of the entire colon. It gently averts and flattens folds in order to see small polyps "hiding" in the space behind colonic folds.

The purpose of this study is to investigate into the effect of the Endocuff in screening colonoscopy compared with screening colonoscopy performed without Endocuff. The device has been used during several years yet an effect on the number of polyps detected during screenings colonoscopy has not been shown. This studies main hypothesis is that the use of Endocuff in screenings colonoscopy will increase the adenoma detection rate in these patients, with a potential to reduce interval cancer.

This study is a randomized controlled trial with 900 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. adenoma

    number of adenomas found during colonoscopy

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. cecal intubation rate

    is the cecum reached during the colonoscopy

    Measured: up to 2 hours

  2. cecal intubation time

    number of minutes from start procedure to cecum reached

    Measured: up to 2 hours

  3. withdrawal time

    number of minutes from cecum reached to end of the procedure, only if no polyps are found

    Measured: up to 60 minutes

  4. adenoma size

    size of adenomas detected

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  5. adenoma site

    where in the bowel the adenoma was detected

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endocuff and no endocuff in people with Adenoma Colon, run by Herning Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 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 3 Dec 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 Denmark. 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 (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT04651062, 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 3 Dec 2020.
