Impact of Diverticular Disease on the Detection of Colon Adenomas (DECADE)

November 18, 2016 updated by: Dr. Peter Klare, Technical University of Munich
Benign adenomas of the colon have the potential to degenerate and become malignant. Therefore adenomatous polyps should be detected and resected during colonoscopy. Factors like advanced age and male gender are associated with the detection of adenomas. The same epidemiological pattern can be found with regard to colon diverticula. Furthermore, western world countries report higher incidences of both colorectal carcinoma as well as diverticular disease. It is not known whether a correlation exists between both entities. Some recent data have postulated higher adenoma detection rates in patients with concomitant diverticular disease (Rondagh EJ et al. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2011; 23:1050-5. Kieff BJ et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2004; 99: 2007-11). If a positive correlation could be found this would possibly affect recommendations regarding colonoscopy surveillance intervals for patients with and without diverticular disease. The investigators therefore plan to conduct the following trial.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients receiving routine colonoscopy at the both study centers are eligible for participation.

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
Adenoma detection rate
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks (participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatient treatment, an expected average of 2 weeks)
After obtaining the histopathological diagnosis of resected polyps (approximately 3 days - 2 weeks after colonoscopy ) accuracy of optical diagnosis can be determined
up to 2 weeks (participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatient treatment, an expected average of 2 weeks)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Polyp detection rate
Time Frame: up to one day
a maximum of one day is expected for colonoscopy
up to one day
Frequency of colon diverticulosis
Time Frame: up to one day
a maximum of one day is expected for colonoscopy
up to one day

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 1, 2014

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
