About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Golytely or SUPREP bowel preparation works more effectively in bowel cleansing for colorectal cancer screening with colonoscopy in patients with diabetes. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

1. Is there a significant difference in bowel prep cleanse between Golytely and SUPREP in patients with diabetes based on the Boston Bowel Prep Score (BBPS) as assessed by blinded, skilled endoscopists? 2. Is there a significant difference in patients' tolerance between the bowel preparations as assessed by the validated Mayo Bowel Prep Tolerability Form (MBPTF)?

Participants will:

* Be randomized to take either Golytely or SUPREP bowel preparation prior to their colonoscopy * Complete the MBPTF on the procedure date prior to the scheduled colonoscopy * Undergo a standardized screening colonoscopy during which time a blinded endoscopist will document the participant's BBPS

The research team hypothesizes that SUPREP will have a significant difference in tolerability (based on MBPTF), while exhibiting no difference in bowel cleanse (based on BBPS) in the diabetic patient population.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants having provided informed consent with signature on informed consent form: the informed consent process should be complete with full discussion of all requirements and possible risks.

Diabetic volunteer (defined per current ACP guidelines, and any type of DM)

Aged 18+ years, inclusive

Average screening risk, polyp surveillance, and family history of cancer

Disqualifiers

Unable to provide informed consent to participate in the study Such as a mental condition rendering the participant unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study

Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine, or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult or that would put the participant at risk by participating in the study

Persistent significant or severe infection, either acute or chronic

Prior use of any investigational drug in the preceding 6 months

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Bowel cleanliness using the Boston Bowel Prep Score (BBPS)

The BBPS uses a score from 0-9 which helps quantify bowel cleanliness after bowel prep prior to colonoscopy. A higher score indicates better visualization of the colon mucosa. This will be assessed by blinded, skilled endoscopists.

Time frame
Procedural (during the participant's screening colonoscopy)
2

Use of the Mayo Bowel Prep Tolerability Score (MTS)

The questionnaire is a validated scoring system used to assess the tolerability (ex. symptoms) and experience (ex. likelihood of using the bowel prep again) among diabetic patients undergoing the study.

Time frame
Pre-procedural (prior to the participant's screening colonoscopy)
