Higher cleansing scores correlate with increased polyp detection in patients with potential colorectal cancer- Norgine B.V.
Norgine B.V. announced new data showing that there is a strong correlation between higher cleansing scores and increased polyp detection rate (PDR) and adenoma detection rate (ADR). The adenoma detection rate (ADR) is one of the primary quality measures of colonoscopy and an indicator of the likelihood of subsequent patient colorectal cancer. The data were presented at the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) 2018, oral presentation, OP251, 21 April 2018, 11:36 to 11:48 am.
This post hoc analysis determined the relationship between BBPS (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale ) scores and adenoma and polyp detection rates in patients who had identical scores in each of the three colon segments, using pooled data from three similarly designed Phase III, multicentre, randomised trials: NOCT, MORA and DAYB.
Comment: Norgine is the manufacturer of Plenvu a bowel preparation which is represented in the US by Salix /Valeant Pharma with a PDUFA date of 13 May 2018..
