New stiffening tube for colon lesion removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new flexible tube that becomes stiff to help doctors remove large or complex colon lesions during an endoscopic procedure. It may help people with certain types of flat or scarred growths that are harder to remove safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 22 years old.
- You can provide written informed consent for the procedure.
- Your colon lesion is one of these types: a flat growth larger than 20 mm, a flat growth with bumps larger than 30 mm, a scar from a past treatment, or a lesion that might be growing deeper.
- Your lesion is not in the sigmoid colon or rectum.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.

This study tests whether using a special 'traction' method makes it easier and safer to remove certain types of colon polyps during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It may help people with large or difficult-to-remove polyps.
This trial tests a new robotic system (Endorobotics) to remove early-stage stomach or colon tumors using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). The goal is to see if the robot helps doctors remove the entire tumor safely and effectively, especially when standard methods are challenging.
This trial tests a special device that helps doctors remove large or tricky growths from the colon or stomach during a procedure called ESD. It may be an option if you have a growth that could not be removed before, is a certain size, or looks like it might be growing deeper.
This trial tests a newer, possibly faster method (ESISD) for removing a certain type of large, flat growth in the rectum, compared to the standard method (CESD). It may be an option if you have a growth that is not too deep and is easy to reach.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the rectum without traditional surgery. It may help people who have early-stage rectal tumors that are too big for standard removal methods.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
