Expected Enrollment 2607A total of 2,607 participants will be accrued for this study. Outline This is a multicenter study. Participants receive an oral laxative, oral bisacodyl, and oral barium sulphate 24 hours before imaging. Participants then undergo computed tomographic colonography followed by colonoscopy. Participants are followed at approximately 4 weeks. Published ResultsJohnson CD, Chen MH, Toledano AY, et al.: Accuracy of CT colonography for detection of large adenomas and cancers.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. |
