Testing a special dye to find precancerous colon growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 85 years old.
- You are having this colonoscopy for screening purposes, not because you already have a known polyp or have had a recent colonoscopy.
- You do not have any concerning symptoms like blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, or a belly mass.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have active inflammatory bowel disease or other colon conditions.

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 tests whether a computer system that helps doctors see during a colonoscopy can find more small growths (called adenomas) in the colon. If you are already having a colonoscopy, this might help find and remove growths that could become cancer.
This study tests a stool sample test to see if it can find colorectal cancer or early warning signs (precancerous growths) as well as a colonoscopy does. You will provide a stool sample before your colonoscopy, and the results will be compared.
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 study compares two safe methods for removing small, non-cancerous colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It aims to see which method is more effective and has fewer complications.
This study compares different special camera techniques during colonoscopy to see which best finds early abnormal (pre-cancer) changes in people with long-term ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors improve how they screen and monitor your colon over time.
