Second look with transparent cap to find more colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a second look at the lower part of the colon, using a special transparent cap on the scope, can find more precancerous polyps (called adenomas). This might help catch polyps that would otherwise be missed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 75 years old
- You are having a routine colonoscopy for screening or because of symptoms, not as a follow-up after previous colon surgery or polyp removal
- You do not have signs of colorectal cancer or other serious bowel conditions
- You are not taking blood thinners (like aspirin or warfarin) in the week before the procedure
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests whether using a special transparent cap on the colonoscopy scope plus computer-aided detection (AI) helps find more colon polyps (growths that can become cancer) during routine screening. If you're having a screening colonoscopy, this could make the exam more thorough.
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 tests a new device that helps doctors see polyps during a colonoscopy. It may help find more polyps early, which could prevent cancer.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
This study tests whether a computer-assisted system can help doctors better tell apart harmless and harmful small polyps found during a colonoscopy, possibly reducing the need for removing them. If you are having a colonoscopy and have small polyps, this may help guide your treatment.
This study tests whether using a special dye during a screening colonoscopy helps doctors find more precancerous growths on the right side of the colon. These growths, called sessile serrated lesions, can be hard to see, and the dye may make them easier to spot and remove early.
