New imaging to find missed colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special camera technique called Linked Color Imaging during a first colonoscopy. It may help doctors find more small growths called sessile serrated lesions, which can be easy to miss and could become cancer if left untreated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for your first colonoscopy (you've never had one before).
- You are generally healthy and can tolerate the procedure.
- You are willing to stop blood-thinning medications for at least a week before the colonoscopy.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, prior colorectal surgery, or severe health conditions.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests two methods—EMR (a snare with electric current) and CSP (a cold snare without current)—to see which works better for removing small, flat colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It may help you if you have a growth found during a colonoscopy that is less than 10mm and has certain harmless features.
This trial tests a special colonoscopy imaging technique that may help doctors find more pre-cancerous polyps and miss fewer. It's for people ages 45 to 85 who are already scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy.
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 trial collects video and images of colorectal polyps during a standard colonoscopy. It helps doctors learn more about polyps 10 mm or larger, which may be more likely to be cancerous.
This trial tests a new camera probe that works with a standard colonoscope to take better images of the colon. It may help doctors find polyps or other issues more clearly during a routine colonoscopy.
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
