Tracking polyps after removal to prevent recurrence
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows people who have had stomach or intestinal polyps removed during an endoscopy to see how often new polyps grow back. It helps doctors learn better ways to monitor and prevent recurrence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had your first endoscopy (camera test of the stomach or colon) at the study center.
- A polyp was found and completely removed during that endoscopy.
- You have had at least one follow-up endoscopy or are willing to have one.
- You do not have a hereditary polyp syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.
- You have not had stomach or colorectal cancer before, and no cancer was found in your removed polyp.

This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
This trial tests advanced imaging techniques during follow-up colonoscopy to better detect if a removed polyp has regrown. It aims to improve how doctors spot potential recurrences at the scar site.
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Clostridium Butyricum after colon polyp removal can lower the chance of polyps coming back. It is looking for people who had adenomas removed and are not already taking certain supplements or antibiotics.
This study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
This study looks at people who had colon cancer surgery to see if new polyps grow back and whether that relates to colorectal cancer coming back. It is an observational study that reviews medical records and follow-up colonoscopy results.
