A study on a new tool for removing colon or stomach growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special device that helps doctors remove large or tricky growths from the colon or stomach during a procedure called ESD. It may be an option if you have a growth that could not be removed before, is a certain size, or looks like it might be growing deeper.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a growth (lesion) in your colon or stomach that your doctor plans to remove with ESD.
- The growth is either one that could not be fully removed before, is a flat spreading type over a certain size, looks like it might be growing into deeper layers, or is located just under the surface lining.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study by signing a consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- The growth is not the hanging (pedunculated) type, not near the appendix or the valve between small and large intestines, and has not been removed with other techniques like tunneling or EMR.

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 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 newer, possibly faster method (ESISD) for removing a certain type of large, flat growth in the rectum, compared to the standard method (CESD). It may be an option if you have a growth that is not too deep and is easy to reach.
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.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the rectum without traditional surgery. It may help people who have early-stage rectal tumors that are too big for standard removal methods.
This study collects information on people who are having a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection to remove abnormal growths in the digestive tract. It helps doctors learn more about how well the procedure works and who benefits most.
