Comparing two ways to remove large polyps during a colonoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
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 for screening, surveillance, diagnosis, or treatment.
- During the procedure, a flat type of polyp (sessile serrated lesion, hyperplastic, or conventional adenoma) that is at least 10 mm (about the size of a pencil eraser) is found.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease).
- You do not have a hereditary polyp syndrome (like Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, Cowden's syndrome, or similar).

This trial compares two cold endoscopic techniques to remove certain large, non-cancerous colon polyps with better control of bleeding and leftover tissue. You may be offered one of the two removal methods during your scheduled colonoscopy.
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.
This trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
This study compares two safe methods for removing small, non-cancerous colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It aims to see which method is more effective and has fewer complications.
This study compares two ways doctors remove certain colon polyps during colonoscopy: “hot snare” versus “cold snare.” It’s looking at whether one method removes polyps better and with fewer problems for people with polyps that are 10–15 mm.
This study compares two removal methods for small, stalked colon polyps (less than 10mm). The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective, which may help reduce the risk of colon cancer.
