Colonoscopy Using Nitrous Oxide- A Pilot Study in the USA
NCT04305158 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Colon cancer is the second most common cancer in men and the third most common cancer in women worldwide. The clinical objectives of administering sedation for GI endoscopy are to relieve patient anxiety and discomfort and to improve the outcome of the examination. Use of N2O could potentially provide an alternate safe and cheap option for patients who do not prefer IV sedation for colonoscopy

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04305158
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04305158 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Early Phase 1, 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 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Arkansas, which has 194 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Nitrous Oxide appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Nitrous Oxide 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: NCT04305158 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Arkansas. 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. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
