Pulsed field ablation for removing colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to remove colon polyps using short bursts of energy (pulsed field ablation) instead of standard methods. It may help people with polyps in the lower part of the colon that are not too large or complex.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have at least one colon polyp that is larger than 5mm and located in the lower part of your colon (descending colon, sigmoid colon, or rectum).
- The polyp is considered low risk (types that are not cancerous).
- You are in fairly good health and able to understand the study and give your own consent.
- You do not have a complex polyp (too large, flat, in a difficult location, or involving a large area).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no other serious colon problems like many polyps, inflamed colon, or a stent.

This study tests new bipolar scissors that may make removing non-cancerous or early-stage colorectal growths during a colonoscopy safer and more effective. If you're scheduled for this procedure, the new scissors could improve your outcome.
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 trial tests a new device to help doctors remove larger, non-cancerous polyps from the colon during a colonoscopy. It may make the procedure easier and more effective for eligible patients.
This study tests a new way to remove large colon polyps to lower the chance they come back. It may help people who need a standard procedure called EMR to remove a large polyp.
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.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
