Phase 4
Conditions
Colonoscopy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03520361
Lead Sponsor
KangWon National University Hospital
Brief Summary

For evaluation of the usefulness of oral sulfate solution (OSS) for bowel preparation of elderly people, investigators compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety between OSS and 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with ascorbic acid (Asc).

Detailed Description

This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized parallel arm, investigator initiated trial.

The aim of study is to compare oral sulfate solution (OSS) with 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with ascorbic acid (Asc) for bowel preparation in elderly people.

99 participants will be enrolled in each group (198 in total). The primary outcome is the efficacy of bowel preparation. Secondary outcomes are tolerability, satisfaction, and safety.

Oral sulfate solution (OSS) taking groupOral sulfate solution (OSS)On the evening before colonoscopy, drink 177ml of OSS (Suclear®) (473ml including water in container), additionally allow another 946 ml of water. On the day of colonoscopy, drink 177ml of OSS (473ml including water in container), additionally allow another 946 ml of water.
2L PEG/Asc taking group2L PEG/AscOn the evening before colonoscopy, drink 1L of 2L PEG/Asc (Haprep®) solution, additionally allow another 500 ml of water. On the day of colonoscopy, drink 1L of 2L PEG/Asc solution, additionally allow another 500 ml of water.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bowel preparation scale of right/transverse/left colon using Boston bowel preparation scale (BPPS)3 months

The BBPS assesses cleanliness of 3 segments of the colon (ascending, transverse, and descending colon), and the total is a 10-point scale (0-9) that grades each segment of the colon from 0 to 3. In this study, adequate bowel preparation is defined as a total score 6 points or higher and individual score of 2 points or higher in each segment.
