Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Simethicone Group
Early in the evening prior to colonoscopy, patients will be instructed to consume one 6 ounce bottle of oral sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate (Suprep) solution (containing sodium sulfate 17.5 grams, potassium sulfate 3.13 grams, and magnesium sulfate 1.6 grams) diluted with 16 ounces of water over one hour. Over the next hour, the patient will be instructed to drink an additional 32 ounces of water. On the day of colonoscopy, the same procedure will be repeated. Patients will take 2.4 mL simethicone in a half glass of water immediately after consuming each dose of the Suprep. All of the bowel preparation solution and required water should be consumed at least 2 hours prior to colonoscopy.
Simethicone
Patients will be randomized to receive either simethicone or placebo in addition to oral sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate solution (Suprep), and will be blinded to whether they are in the simethicone arm or the placebo arm of the trial. Simethicone and placebo will be prepared as identically-appearing liquid solution (2.4 mL) with the assistance of a pharmacist. The simethicone or placebo solution will then be assigned to patients according to the randomization scheme and samples will be labeled with patient information prior to distribution. Only the pharmacist will participate in the labeling process and know which patients receive simethicone or placebo; administering staff, nurses, physicians, and patients will be blinded to this.
sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate solution
Both arms will receive sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate solution for bowel preparation
Placebo Group
Early in the evening prior to colonoscopy, patients will be instructed to consume one 6 ounce bottle of oral sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate (Suprep) solution (containing sodium sulfate 17.5 grams, potassium sulfate 3.13 grams, and magnesium sulfate 1.6 grams) diluted with 16 ounces of water over one hour. Over the next hour, the patient will be instructed to drink an additional 32 ounces of water. On the day of colonoscopy, the same procedure will be repeated. Patients will take 2.4 mL of placebo (identical in appearance to simethicone) in a half glass of water immediately after consuming each dose of the Suprep. All of the bowel preparation solution and required water should be consumed at least 2 hours prior to colonoscopy.
Placebo
Patients will be randomized to receive either simethicone or placebo in addition to oral sodium sulfate/potassium sulfate/magnesium sulfate solution (Suprep), and will be blinded to whether they are in the simethicone arm or the placebo arm of the trial. Simethicone and placebo will be prepared as identically-appearing liquid solution (2.4 mL) with the assistance of a pharmacist. The simethicone or placebo solution will then be assigned to patients according to the randomization scheme and samples will be labeled with patient information prior to distribution. Only the pharmacist will participate in the labeling process and know which patients receive simethicone or placebo; administering staff, nurses, physicians, and patients will be blinded to this.
