Simethicone colonoscopy prep for cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a colonoscopy preparation drink that contains simethicone (a gas-relief ingredient) to see if it works better than standard prep for people who are already scheduled for a screening colonoscopy after a positive stool test. It may help make the procedure more comfortable and effective.

This trial tests a new liquid solution that you drink before a colonoscopy to see if it cleans the colon better than the usual prep. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy, this might make the procedure more effective and comfortable.
This study tests whether using a special dye during a screening colonoscopy helps doctors find more precancerous growths on the right side of the colon. These growths, called sessile serrated lesions, can be hard to see, and the dye may make them easier to spot and remove early.
This trial compares two ways of preparing for a colonoscopy: using a prepackaged low-residue diet versus getting personal guidance on what to eat. The goal is to see which approach leads to a cleaner colon, which can make the procedure more effective.
This study is testing a new stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer. You provide a stool sample before having a colonoscopy, and researchers compare the test results with what the colonoscopy finds.
This study tests two different ways of taking simethicone (a medicine that reduces gas bubbles) before a colonoscopy to see which one gives doctors a clearer view. If the view is clearer, the doctor can find problems more easily, and you may need less preparation or fewer repeats.
This study tests whether taking an anti-gas medicine (simethicone) during a water-assisted colonoscopy helps clean the colon better so the doctor can see more clearly. If you're having a colonoscopy, you might be in this study to see if it improves your exam.
