Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase III Study With FE 999169 Versus Niflec for Colon Cleansing (NCT NCT02215954)

NCT ID: NCT02215954

Last Updated: 2017-07-17

Results Overview

The efficacy rate was based on the overall colon cleansing effect as assessed by the independent central judging committee: the rate of responders who were defined as subjects with a 1 or 2 rating in each colon segment on the Japanese colon cleansing scale, which has scale of 1 (Excellent observation) to 5 (Unable to judge). One of the 5 ratings to each of the colon segments (rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, and ascending colon/cecum) was given according to the description and the representative pictures of each rating. A subject who had a 1 or 2 rating in each colon segment was counted as a responder in the overall colon cleansing effect. Otherwise they were counted as a non-responder.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (day of colonoscopy)

Population: Intention-To-Treat Analysis set

The total Ottawa scale score was calculated by adding the ratings (0 to 4) for each of the three colon segments, Ascending colon (ascending, cecum), Mid colon (transverse, descending), and Recto-sigmoid colon, in addition to the overall fluid quantity rating (0 (small), 1 (medium), or 2 (large) ). This gave a sum of 0 (best) to 12 (worst) for overall assessment of colon cleansing, and an additional 0 to 2 for the global fluid quantity rating. The final range of the score was from 0 (excellent) to 14 (solid stool in each colon segment and lots of fluid).
