CARMA technique after removing up to two colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a specific approach (the CARMA technique) for colon polyp treatment after doctors remove polyps during colonoscopy. It may help reduce future problems at the polyp site, but only certain polyp types and follow-up plans qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had colon polyps removed (polypectomy) recently
- You can have up to two polyps removed in total for the study
- Your polyp size should not be under 10 mm with a confirmed clear margin after removal
- The polyp should not show signs of spreading into deeper tissue
- The polyp should not be a scar-site recurrence, a stalked (pedunculated) type, or a pseudopolyp
- You must be willing and able to return for follow-up colonoscopy

This study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
This study tests which technique best removes medium-sized colon polyps (10–20 mm). It may help you get a safer, more complete removal and reduce the chance of needing repeat procedures.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
This study tests whether a specific way of removing large colon polyps (called non-thermal endoscopic resection) lowers the chance that the polyp comes back. It may help people who need to have a large polyp removed during a colonoscopy.
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
