Improved colonoscopy for polyp detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that helps doctors see polyps during a colonoscopy. It may help find more polyps early, which could prevent cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a colonoscopy to screen for or follow up on colorectal cancer or polyps.
- You have had a positive fecal occult blood test (a stool test for hidden blood).
- You have had polyps removed before and are being monitored.
- You have a condition like Lynch syndrome or a family history of colorectal cancer that increases your risk.
- You are not at high risk for complications like bleeding or perforation.
- You are not taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) or clopidogrel during the procedure.

This study tests two new imaging technologies used during a colonoscopy to better detect and describe growths (polyps) in the colon. This may help doctors find and remove pre-cancerous polyps more accurately during the same procedure.
This study tests a new real-time healthcare system meant to improve how doctors find and monitor colon cancer risk during colonoscopy. You might be able to take part if you are scheduled for a non-emergency colonoscopy and meet other safety and medical criteria.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (CAD) system helps doctors find more advanced polyps during screening colonoscopies, potentially reducing the risk of these polyps turning into cancer over three years. If you are undergoing a screening colonoscopy, this study may help improve early detection and prevention.
This trial tests a computer-assisted measurement system during a colonoscopy to see if it can more accurately measure polyps. You might consider this if you are scheduled for a routine colonoscopy for screening or monitoring.
This trial tests whether using a special transparent cap on the colonoscopy scope plus computer-aided detection (AI) helps find more colon polyps (growths that can become cancer) during routine screening. If you're having a screening colonoscopy, this could make the exam more thorough.
