Comparing two ways to remove large flat polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a colon polyp that is at least 20 mm (about the size of a large grape).
- The polyp is flat or slightly raised (not a tall bump).
- The polyp has not been previously attempted to be removed or come back after removal.
- The polyp does not look like it has grown deeply into the colon wall or is cancer.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).

This study compares two ways to remove flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy: one uses a cold snare (no heat) and the other uses a hot snare (with heat). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for removing medium-sized polyps.
This study tests a new way to remove large colon polyps to lower the chance they come back. It may help people who need a standard procedure called EMR to remove a large polyp.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
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 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 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.
