Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current international guidelines for CRC surveillance in IBD recommend as first choice the use of chromoendoscopy, and as an alternative high-definition white light endoscopy (HDWLE) for optimal dysplasia detection, based on data from clinical trials. However, data on the superiority of CE over HDWLE are not consistent in literature. The investigators hypothesize that the better performance of CE in some clinical trials is the result of the associated longer procedural time and the fact that every colon segment is examined twice. Currently, no studies have been published evaluating the dysplastic yield of back-to back HDWLE compared to HDWLE with a single pass or CE in patients with IBD. In the present study, the investigators aim to compare the yield of dysplasia/CRC between 1) regular HDWLE, 2) HDWLE back-to-back, and 3) CE.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators assume based on previous research a yield of 12% using high-definition white light endoscopy and 24% using either chromoendoscopy or high-definition white light endoscopy with a second examination (Imperatore et al 2019). To show non-inferiority of back-to-back HDWLE compared to CE, with a non-inferiority margin of 10% (power 80% and alpha 5%,) a total of 226 patients per group is required.

To demonstrate a superiority of back-to-back HDWLE compared to a regular HDWLE, with a 1:2 allocation ratio of single-pass vs back-to-back , 113 and 226 patients per group are needed to achieve 80% power with an alpha of 5%. Therefore, the investigators will include 226 patients in group back-to-back HDWLE, 226 in group CE, and 113 patients in group regular HDWLE. This amounts to a total of 560 patients. To account for any screen-failures The investigators will include at most 5% (of 560) additional patients until 80% power is reached.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

back-to-back HDWLE

Similar to single-pass HDWLE, with a second segmental inspection after the first examination in the same session. Equipment is similar to 1.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Back-to-back high-definition white light endoscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Using HD white light, the entire colon is examined for dysplasia and other abnormalities after the caecum is reached, with a second segmental inspection after the first examination in the same session.The colonoscope has a high-definition camera and processor. All images are displayed on a high definition monitor for optimal resolution.

single-pass HDWLE

Using HD white light, the entire colon is examined for dysplasia and other abnormalities after the caecum is reached. The colonoscope has a high-definition camera and processor. All images are displayed on a high definition monitor for optimal resolution.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

single-pass high-definition white light endoscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Using HD white light, the entire colon is examined for dysplasia and other abnormalities after the caecum is reached. The colonoscope has a high-definition camera and processor. All images are displayed on a high definition monitor for optimal resolution.

Chromoendoscopy

After introduction of the endoscope into the colon a dye (methylene blue or 0.3% indigo carmine) will be sprayed through a catheter positioned into the biopsy channel. Per segment, the entire colon is dyed, inspected, and lesions are removed. Equipment is similar to the other two arms.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

chromoendoscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After introduction of the endoscope into the colon a dye (methylene blue or indigo carmine) will be sprayed through a catheter positioned into the biopsy channel. Per segment, the entire colon is dyed, inspected, and lesions are removed. Equipment is similar to the other two interventions.
