Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Protocol Title: Three Arm Prospective Randomized controlled trial of High-Definition White-light colonoscopy versus High-Definition White-light colonoscopy with Reveal® Distal Attachment Cap versus High-Definition White-light colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision for the detection of colorectal adenomas Hypothesis: Detection rate of adenomas in patients will be higher in procedures performed with High-Definition White-light (HDWL) colonoscopy with Reveal® distal attachment cap and HDWL colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision compared to HDWL colonoscopes alone Design: Multicenter, Prospective, randomized controlled study Primary Aim: To compare the proportion of subjects with at least one adenoma detected during HDWL colonoscopy versus HDWL colonoscopy with Reveal® distal attachment cap versus HDWL colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision. Secondary Aims: To compare the number of adenomas detected per subject with HDWL colonoscopy versus HDWL colonoscopy with Reveal® distal attachment cap versus HDWL colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision. To compare the detection rates for polyp subtypes (including advanced adenomas, serrated polyps, right sided adenomas, etc.), cecal intubation rate, insertion time, withdrawal time, and complications of HDWL colonoscopy versus HDWL colonoscopy with Reveal® distal attachment cap versus HDWL colonoscopy with Endocuff Vision.
