Testing a cap-assisted second look to find more polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether using a clear cap on the colonoscope and doing a second, careful look at the last part of the colon helps doctors find more precancerous polyps (adenomas) during a screening colonoscopy. It may help you avoid missing polyps that could become cancer later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy, not a follow-up after polyp removal or colorectal surgery.
- You do not have symptoms like blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, or a lump in your belly.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not taken blood thinners (like aspirin or warfarin) in the week before the procedure.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, certain polyp syndromes, or a known colorectal cancer diagnosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to do colonoscopy that uses a special clear cap on the scope and a computer program to help spot colorectal polyps (growths that can become cancer). It aims to see if this combination finds more polyps than a standard colonoscopy.
This trial tests a computer-assisted measurement system during a colonoscopy to see if it can more accurately measure polyps. You might consider this if you are scheduled for a routine colonoscopy for screening or monitoring.
This trial tests a 3D imaging device during colonoscopy to see if it helps find more advanced adenomas (precancerous polyps) than standard colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy and haven't had colorectal cancer or polyps removed before, this study might be for you.
This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma to help find better ways to detect the disease early using advanced lab tests on blood samples.
This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one finds more pre-cancerous polyps called serrated lesions. It may help your doctor choose the best way to screen for colon cancer during your procedure.
This study is evaluating PreveCol, a new second-line stool test for people aged 50–69 who had a positive FIT/FOBT result and are already scheduled for a colonoscopy. It aims to find out if this test can help detect colorectal cancer earlier.
