Assessing Effect of Withdrawal Time on Adenoma Detection Rate for Screening Colonoscopy

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Rectal Cancer; Colon Cancer; Colorectal Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT05018325
• Lead Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

Brief Summary

The investigators' null hypothesis is that a withdrawal time of 9 to 10 minutes is non-inferior to a withdrawal time of 12 minutes or greater. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the additional diagnostic yield (# of missed lesions) for withdrawal times exceeding 10 minutes for screening/surveillance colonoscopies. Although withdrawal times longer than the standard 6-minute recommendation have been shown to be beneficial, there is limited prospective evidence investigating the benefit or lack thereof for withdrawal times greater than 9-10 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Miss rate of polyps	Time of colonoscopy (day 1)	* Miss rate = missed polyps/missed polyps + polyps found during 1st exam; * Polyps is defined as adenomas and sessile serrated adenomas (SSA)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Miss rate of advanced adenomas	Time of colonoscopy (day 1)	* Miss rate = missed advanced adenomas/missed advanced adenomas + advanced adenomas found during 1st exam; * Advanced adenoma defined as a polyp ≥ 10mm, adenomas with high-grade dysplasia or villous architecture, serrated lesions with dysplasia, or traditional serrated adenomas
