MoviPrep® Versus GoLYTELY® Bowel Preparation in Hospitalized Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05054036
Lead Sponsor
Yale University
Brief Summary

Adequate bowel cleansing is a critical component in the care of hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy. However, inpatient status is a well-established risk factor for inadequate bowel preparation. However, few strategies have been rigorously shown to reduce the risk of inadequate bowel preparation. Moreover, inadequate bowel preparation is frequently related to the poor tolerability of high volumes of bowel preparation in the medically complex and comorbid hospitalized population. Low volume bowel preparations have been developed that have been shown to be noninferior compared to high volume bowel preparation with regards to adequacy of bowel preparation but with improved tolerability. However, the use of low volume bowel preparations for colonoscopies have largely been evaluated in the outpatient setting. In this study, we plan to compare rates of adequate bowel preparation and tolerability of a low volume bowel preparation, MoviPrep, compared to standard high volume bowel preparation, GoLYTELY, in hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy. This study promises to highlight low volume bowel preparation as a viable and better tolerated alternative to high volume bowel preparation in hospitalized patients which may ultimately decrease delays in inpatient endoscopy as well as hospital length of stay.

GroupInterventionDescription
MoviPrepMoviPrepFor MoviPrep, the dose, schedule, and route of administration are as follows: * On the evening prior to the colonoscopy, mix the powder with lukewarm water to a total volume of 32 oz. Drink 8 oz. every 15 minutes until the solution is finished. Drink 16 oz. of clear liquids before bed. * On the morning of the procedure, repeat the above steps and make sure all fluids are consumed at least 2 hours prior to colonoscopy. * Limit food intake to a regular breakfast, light lunch and clear soup or plain yogurt for dinner on the day prior to the colonoscopy (completed at least 1 hour prior to the first MoviPrep dose. * Consume only clear liquids from the start of MoviPrep until after the colonoscopy.
GoLYTELYGolytelyFor GoLYTELY, the dose, schedule, and route of administrate are as follows: * On the evening prior to the colonoscopy, mix powder with lukewarm water to a total volume of 4 liters. Drink 2 liters of the solution and store the rest in the refrigerator. * Drink the remaining 2 liters on the morning of the procedure. * Limit food intake to a light breakfast on the day prior to the colonoscopy, followed by only clear liquids until the procedure is complete. * Avoid red and purple liquids.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS) During Colonoscopy WithdrawalAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

The BBPS is a validated scoring tool that assesses the three segments of the colon (left, transverse, right) and rates them from 1-3 based on the ability to visualize the mucosa. An adequate bowel preparation is defined as a BBPS of 6 or higher with no individual segment scoring less than a 2.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cecal Intubation RateAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

Percentage of colonoscopies during which the cecum is successfully reached

Cecal Intubation TimeAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

Time from insertion of colonoscopy to reaching the cecum

Rates of "Excellent" Bowel PreparationAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

The BBPS is a validated scoring tool that assesses the three segments of the colon (left, transverse, right) and rates them from 1-3 based on the ability to visualize the mucosa. An excellent bowel preparation is defined as a BBPS score of an 8 or 9.

Colonoscopy Withdrawal TimeAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

Time from reaching the cecum to complete withdrawal of the colonoscope

Hospital Length of StayAfter study completion, an average of 5 days

Time from admission to discharge

Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0Through study completion, an average of 3 days

The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) is a descriptive terminology which can be utilized for Adverse Event (AE) reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term from a scale of 1-5, with increasing score corresponding to increasing AE severity.

Mayo Clinic Bowel Preparation QuestionnaireImmediately prior to procedure

The Mayo Clinic Bowel Preparation Questionnaire is a survey consisting of 9 questions that relate to symptoms and tolerability of bowel preparation before colonoscopy. The answers to each question will be aggregated for each arm and compared.

BBPS Score During Colonoscopy Withdrawal For Each SegmentAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

BBPS assesses three segments of the colon (left, transverse, right) and rates each segment either a 1, 2, or 3 based on the ability to visualize the mucosa. Higher scores correspond to improved mucosal visibility.

Time to EndoscopyAt time of procedure, approximately 45 minutes

The time from when the patient started the bowel preparation to the colonoscopy procedure itself.
