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 is testing a new type of scissors used during a procedure to remove growths from the colon or rectum. The goal is to see if these scissors help the removal go more smoothly and safely.
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 trial compares two methods for removing small grape-like polyps (less than 10mm) from the colon during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for you.
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 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.
