GelPOINT-assisted removal of colon and rectal polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to remove large or complex colon and rectal polyps using a special port system called GelPOINT Path. If you have polyps that are hard to remove with standard colonoscopy, this approach may help your doctor remove them safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form.
- Your colon or rectal polyp is in the transverse colon, descending colon, rectosigmoid colon, or rectum (rectal polyps must be at least 2 cm from the anal opening).
- Your polyp is being considered for a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and meets one of these: it has been previously treated or has scar tissue (in the colon above the sigmoid), it is a flat growth larger than 30 mm (granular) or larger than 20 mm (non-granular), or it may have grown into deeper layers.
- You are not pregnant.

This study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
This trial tests a new platform to help doctors remove large polyps or early-stage cancers from the rectum and lower colon using a scope (endoscope). The goal is to see if this tool makes the removal process safer and more effective.
This study tests whether using a special 'traction' method makes it easier and safer to remove certain types of colon polyps during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It may help people with large or difficult-to-remove polyps.
This trial tests a new device to help doctors remove larger, non-cancerous polyps from the colon during a colonoscopy. It may make the procedure easier and more effective for eligible patients.
This study compares two endoscopy techniques to remove large, flat-looking colon polyps. It aims to see which method removes the polyp more completely and safely.
This trial compares two cold endoscopic techniques to remove certain large, non-cancerous colon polyps with better control of bleeding and leftover tissue. You may be offered one of the two removal methods during your scheduled colonoscopy.
