Safer endoscopic removal of early digestive tract tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new technique called RDI mode, which may help doctors remove early-stage tumors from the esophagus, stomach, or colon more safely. If you have a small early tumor or polyp, this study could help determine if the new method works better and has fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have early-stage cancer or pre-cancerous growths in the esophagus, stomach, or colon
- The growth is between 20 and 60 millimeters in size
- You are scheduled for an endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) procedure at a participating hospital
- You do not have severe bleeding disorders or other serious heart or lung conditions
- The tumor has not spread to other parts of the body

This study tests whether a robot-assisted scope procedure can safely and effectively remove early-stage colorectal growths (polyps or early cancers). If you have such a growth and are eligible, this approach may offer a less invasive way to remove it compared to traditional surgery.
This study compares a new robot-assisted endoscope with the traditional method for removing hard-to-remove colorectal growths. The goal is to see if the robot helps make the removal safer and more complete.
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 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 tests a robotic-assisted endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to remove early-stage tumors from the stomach, colon, or rectum without major surgery. It aims to see if this new robotic method is safe and effective.
