Magnetic tool for removing early stomach or colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a shallow (superficial) growth in your stomach or colon that your doctor plans to remove with a scope.
- You do not have a cardiac pacemaker or any other implanted metal device (like a stent or drug pump).
- You have no metal fragments in your eyes or body, and have never worked with metal fragments.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- Your doctor thinks the procedure is safe for you.

This study is testing a new type of scissors used during a procedure to remove growths from the colon or rectum. The goal is to see if these scissors help the removal go more smoothly and safely.
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
This trial tests a new robotic system (Endorobotics) to remove early-stage stomach or colon tumors using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). The goal is to see if the robot helps doctors remove the entire tumor safely and effectively, especially when standard methods are challenging.
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 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.
This trial is testing a new way to connect parts of the large or small intestine using magnets instead of staples or stitches. It may help people who need certain types of colon or rectal surgery recover with less pain and fewer complications.
