Traction device for removing colon and stomach growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new hand-held device that helps doctors remove abnormal tissue from the colon or stomach more safely during a procedure called ESD. The device gently pulls the tissue to make it easier to remove, and the study aims to see if it works well and is easy to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for an endoscopic removal (ESD) of abnormal tissue in your colon or stomach.
- The abnormal tissue is one of these types: a lesion that failed to be fully removed before, a large flat lesion (more than 30 mm if granular, more than 20 mm if non-granular), a lesion that may be growing deeper, or a growth under the surface layer.
- You are not pregnant.
- The lesion is not the stalk-like type (called pedunculated) and is not located at the appendix opening or the valve between the small and large intestine.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to remove early-stage tumors from the stomach, colon, or rectum without major surgery. It aims to see if this new robotic method is safe and effective.
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 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.
This trial studies how safe and effective a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is for treating certain early, superficial stomach (gastric) growths. It may be an option if your growth fits the endoscopy criteria and you are not a good candidate for stomach surgery.
