Comparison of Adenoma Detection Miss Rates at Colonoscopy Associated With Different Withdrawal Times

April 28, 2015 updated by: Subhas Banerjee, Stanford University

Comparison of Adenoma Detection and Miss Rates at Colonoscopy Associated With a Six-minute Withdrawal Time vs a Three-minute Withdrawal Time

The objective of this study is to determine the optimal withdrawal time for colonoscopy. A 6-minute withdrawal time is currently the standard of care but has only been evaluated in an observational fashion. The investigators believe that this should be validated in a standardized fashion. If the benefits of a 6 minute withdrawal are proven in this study (ie a low polyp/adenoma miss rate and a high polyp/adenoma detection rate), then this will support widespread adoption of a 6 minute withdrawal as the standard of care. This in turn may decrease the occurence of 'interval colon cancers', which are early colon cancers arising in subjects despite their having undergone colonoscopy. Our hypothesis is that the polyp/adenoma detection rate will be unacceptably low and the polyp/adenoma miss rate will be unacceptably high in the 3-minute withdrawal group when compared to the 6-minute withdrawal group.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Eligible patients will be randomized to colonoscopy with either a 6-minute withdrawal time or a 3-minute withdrawal time. Patients will then undergo colonoscopy. All colonoscopies will be performed by a GI attending (standard of care). The colonoscopy is typically performed under conscious sedation using medications such as fentanyl and midazolam for comfort (standard of care). Occasional patients undergo colonoscopy under general anesthesia. For all patients, advancement of the colonoscope to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal of the colonoscope in each of 3 segments of the examined colon (right side of colon, transverse colon and left side of colon). Following examination of each individual segment, the colonoscope will be readvanced to the proximal end of the segment and a 2 minute withdrawal will be re-performed. For those randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist. For those randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will also be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist. All patients will therefore undergo a second look colonoscopy with a 6-minute withdrawal time ('de-facto' standard of care). Polyp/adenoma detection and miss rates will then be calculated and compared between the two groups.

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.

Active Comparator: 3-minute withdrawal time
For subjects randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.
Procedure: 3-minute withdrawal time
For subjects randomized to the 3-minute withdrawal time, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 1 minute, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

For subjects randomized to the 6-minute withdrawal, advancement to the cecum will be followed by segmental withdrawal in each of 3 segments of the examined colon. Each segment will be examined over 2 minutes, followed by a "second look" over each segment over 2 minutes by the same endoscopist.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Polyp/Adenoma Detection Rate
Time Frame: This will be calculated up to one week after data collection.
Polyp/adenoma detection rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy.
This will be calculated up to one week after data collection.
Polyp/adenoma Miss Rate
Time Frame: Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated up to one week after data collection.
Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated for each segment of the tandem colonoscopy- this will be calculated as the number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered and resected on the tandem portion of each segment of the colonoscopy, divided by the total number of polyps/adenomas that are discovered/resected.
Polyp/adenoma miss rate will be calculated up to one week after data collection.
