Linked-Color Imaging Versus Indigo Carmine Pump Spraying on the Colorectal Adenoma Detection Rate
China352 participantsStarted 2025-04-08
Plain-language summary
Detection and removal of polyps during colonoscopy is crucial for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Indigo carmine spraying up to the colonic mucosa could probably increase the adenoma detection rate, but considering the long withdrawal time of the endoscope and the resulting increase in time and cost. Linked-color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed image-enhanced endoscopy technology. It relies on wave length optimization of three colors (red, green, and blue) to make the lesions appear fuller. LCI improves the visibility of colorectal adenomas and polyps and may increase the detection rate of lesions. In order to explore the clinical application value of Linked-color imaging endoscopy, we performed a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare adenoma detection rate of Linked-color imaging endoscopy and indigo carmine chromoendoscopy.

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
