EGD-assisted Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy
NCT01563744 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Adequate bowel preparation is of critical importance for colonoscopy. Particularly among hospitalized patients, inadequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy may arise due to patient intolerance to prescribed laxative regimen, elderly population, and co-existing conditions that impair the ability to ingest a large-volume laxative regimen. Improvements in bowel preparation for colonoscopy in hospitalized patients would likely improve patient care and reduce hospital costs. The purpose of this study is to determine if administering a portion of the bowel purgative via EGD could improve colonoscopy preparation in hospitalized patients.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01563744
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01563744 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 82 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rockford Gastroenterology Associates, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Colonoscopy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which EGD-assisted administration of colonoscopy prep is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01563744 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
