Study Summary
This trial will compare strategies for colorectal neoplasia screening in people with IBD, to see if one is better at finding cancerous lesions. 1952 participants needed.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are in symptomatic remission and have had IBD for at least 8 years, or any duration if they also have primary sclerosing cholangitis. They should be undergoing colorectal cancer screening with a high-definition colonoscopy but can't join if they've had major colon surgery, recent neoplasia diagnosis, poor bowel prep quality, incomplete colonoscopy, significant inflammation or a history of colorectal cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two strategies during high-definition white light colonoscopies: one where only visible lesions are sampled versus the conventional method that samples both visible lesions and normal-appearing mucosa. The goal is to see which strategy is better at detecting neoplasia without being worse than the other. A total of 1952 participants will be enrolled to determine this.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated here, standard side effects from a colonoscopy may include abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, gas cramps and potential risk of bleeding or perforation from biopsy procedures.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Experimental: Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will undergo standard colonoscopy as part of their routine IBD surveillance. During this colonoscopy targeted biopsies (biopsies of any pre-cancerous lesions observed by the doctor) and/or removal of any polyps will be undertaken.
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will undergo standard colonoscopy as part of their routine IBD surveillance. During this colonoscopy both random (approximately 32 to 40) and targeted biopsies (and/or removal of any polyps) will be undertaken.
