Testing a new ESD method for early digestive cancers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to perform ESD, a minimally invasive procedure to remove early-stage cancers or polyps from the digestive tract. The goal is to see if this new method is safer and more effective than the standard approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have early cancer or a precancerous growth in your stomach, esophagus, or colon/rectum that is suitable for an ESD procedure.
- The lesion is between 20 and 60 millimeters (about 0.8 to 2.4 inches) in size.
- You do not have severe bleeding problems, serious heart or lung disease, or any sign that the cancer has spread.

This trial tests a technique called full-time RDI during ESD (a minimally invasive procedure to remove early stomach cancer). The goal is to see if it can lower the chance of serious side effects and shorten the procedure time. If you are scheduled for this surgery and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
This trial evaluates how useful a procedure called ESD is for patients as part of routine care. ESD is done during an endoscopy, and the study checks whether it works well and is helpful in the real world.
This trial is checking outcomes for adults who are scheduled to have a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), done through an endoscope. If you’re already planned for ESD and have no reasons you can’t have endoscopy, you may be able to join.
This study is testing the use of ESD, a procedure to remove abnormal tissue from your digestive tract using a thin, flexible scope. It may be an option if you need this procedure in your esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, or rectum.
This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
This trial tests two medications, esomeprazole and sucralfate, to see if they help heal stomach ulcers after an endoscopic procedure (ESD) for early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous growths. It may help you if you need this procedure and have a larger ulcer afterwards.
