Two tools for removing large colon polyps compared
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two special tools used to remove large, flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which tool is safer and more effective at removing the entire polyp in one piece, which may help avoid surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a large (over 20 mm) non-pedunculated (flat or broad-based) polyp in the colon or rectum.
- Your doctor has determined that the polyp cannot be removed in one piece using a standard snare (endoscopic mucosal resection).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that would make the procedure unsafe (for example, very low platelets or high INR).
- The polyp is not a recurrence from a previous removal attempt.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can give consent.

This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
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.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
This trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
