Trial Outcomes

Improvement in Investigator Lower GI Assessment

Global assessment of change in lower GI polyp burden. These are binary outcomes derived from scores assigned by the investigator during each procedure, using a scale (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) which corresponds, respectively, to the investigator's overall qualitative assessment of: much worse, worse, no change, improved, much improved. Summarizes the corresponding 6- and 12-month investigator change scores according to whether or not there was any positive improvement at either month 6 (compared to baseline) or at month 12 (compared to baseline or month 6), under the condition that there be no worsening at either timepoint. (NCT01483144)
Timeframe: through month 12 assessment
