Colonoscopy Preparation Optimization for INpatients- COIN Study (COIN)

January 28, 2013 updated by: Khurram Khan, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton

A Randomized Control Trial Comparing 4L PEGlyte to Regular Dose Pico-Salax and Split Dose Pico-Salax for Colonoscopy Bowel Preparation in Hospitalized Patients

Colonoscopic examinations are performed routinely in hospitalized patients for a variety of indications. However, numerous limitations exist in hospitalized patients preventing an endoscopist from performing high quality examinations; possibly necessitating repeated procedures leading to increased cost and re-exposure to their inherent risks. One such prominent challenge lays in the adequacy of bowel cleansing. Inpatient status has been shown to be a predictor of poor bowel preparation as these patients are older, less mobile and have more co morbidities than the outpatient population. Currently, no standardized (or optimized) bowel preparation type or regimen for administration exists for the hospital inpatient population undergoing colonoscopy. Studies in the outpatient population have demonstrated that timing and choice of cathartic medication effects the cleanliness of the bowel preparation but there is no such clinical evidence for in-patients who receive whatever cathartic agent is on hospital formulary. The purpose of the study is compare efficacy, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects associated with low volume cathartic (Pico-Salax) to the current standard volume 4 liter (PEG-Lyte) and the effect of alternate timing of dosages.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
