March 12, 2024 updated by: Changhai Hospital

Evaluating the Efficacy of Short Time Intervals in Split-Dose Bowel Preparation of Oral Sulfate Solution: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

To evaluate whether oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval (6-8 hours) between the first and last dose of laxative is not inferior to a long time interval (10-12 hours) in bowel preparation quality.

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

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

The split-dose bowel preparation is recommended by multiple guidelines and widely used worldwide for improved bowel preparation quality, higher detection rate of colorectal lesions, and better tolerance. The effect of the time interval between the last dose of laxative and the colonoscopy on the quality of bowel preparation has been well studied, but the impact of the time interval between the first and last dose of laxative on the bowel preparation quality deserve to be explored. Oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval can reduce sleep disturbance and hunger and is more flexible and convenient. This study aims to evaluate whether oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval (6-8 hours) is not inferior to a long time interval (10-12 hours) on bowel preparation quality.

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.

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

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.
