Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the bowel cleansing efficacy of either Plenvu or PEG with ascorbate in a randomized controlled trial including persons participating in the Danish national bowel screening program.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint will be efficacy of the bowel preparation. Efficacy will be assessed as bowel cleansing success according to the validated Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Bowel preparation quality will be assessed by the colonoscopist for the following colonic segments: Right colon (cecum and ascending colon), transverse colon (hepatic flexure, transverse colon and splenic flexure), left colon (descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum). After washing and suctioning have been performed each segment is given a score from 0-3 based on following definition: 0: Unprepared colon segment with mucosa not seen due to solid stool that cannot be cleared. 1: Portion of mucosa of the colon segment seen, but other areas of the colon segment not well seen due to staining, residual stool and/or opaque liquid. 2: Minor amount of residual staining, small fragments of stool and/or opaque liquid, but mucosa of colon segment seen well. 3: Entire mucosa of colon segment seen well with no residual staining, small fragments of stool or opaque liquid. Adequate bowel preparation will be defined as a score of at least 2 according to the BBPS for each colonic segment. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Quality of bowel preparation will be assessed during the colonoscopy by the endoscopist. Data will be recorded immediately after the procedure. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints will be polyp detection rate, overall polyp detection, ADR, overall/mean adenoma detection, cancer detection rate, cecal intubation rate, detection of serrated lesions and completion rate. Tolerability of the bowel preparation. Tolerability will be assessed immediately prior to colonoscopy. Following parameters will be addressed: Vomiting, nausea, bloating, headache, quality of sleep, willingness to repeat preparation. Ability to drink all preparation and to drink supplementary clear fluids. If no, how much preparation/supplementary fluids have been consumed (0-24%, 25-49%, 50-74%, 75-99%). Time to first stool and time gap between ingestion of last bowel preparation dose and colonoscopy will be noted. Incomplete colonoscopies will be stratified by following parameters: pain, stenosis, unpassable turn, complication, other.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Parameters concerning the colonoscopy (polyp detection, cecal intubation rate, completion rate,) will be assessed during the procedure by the endoscopist. Data will be recorded immediately after the procedure. Adenoma and cancer data will be based on histopathologic examination. Results will be recorded at a maximum of 30 days post procedure by look-up in medical file. Data on consumption of bowel preparation, additional fluids and passage of stool will be assessed by a questionnaire filled out prior to the colonoscopy. | — |
