Safer removal of colorectal growths with new bipolar scissors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have a colorectal growth (polyp) that is non-cancerous or early-stage cancer, and you are scheduled to have it removed during a colonoscopy.
- You can understand and agree to the study plan, and sign a consent form.
- You do not have any condition that makes the procedure unsafe, such as serious heart or lung disease, or a bleeding disorder.
- You are not pregnant, planning to be pregnant, or breastfeeding.

This trial uses a special magnetic device to help doctors remove early-stage growths in the stomach or colon during a standard procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The magnet pulls the tissue into a better position, which may make the removal safer and more effective.
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.
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 robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the lower part of the rectum that are too big for standard removal. The goal is to remove the growth completely in one piece, which may help avoid more invasive surgery.
This study follows patients who have a polyp removed from their colon or rectum using a minimally invasive procedure called EMR or ESD. It helps doctors learn which method works better for different types of polyps, so they can improve future care.
This study tests a new device that helps doctors remove abnormal growths, or lesions, from the colon or rectum. It aims to see if the device makes it easier to remove these growths completely and safely.
