Freezing treatment for small bowel growths in inherited conditions
This study tests a freezing treatment called cryoablation to remove non-cancerous growths (adenomas) in the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. It is for people with inherited conditions like FAP or HNPCC that increase the risk of these growths.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with FAP or HNPCC (inherited conditions that increase cancer risk).
- You have flat adenomas (non-cancerous growths) in your duodenum confirmed by biopsy.
- You are able to give informed consent to participate.
- You do not have invasive duodenal cancer, severe health conditions that make endoscopy unsafe, an allergy to the freezing system, previous duodenal surgery in the area, active bleeding, or are pregnant.

This trial enrolls children whose doctors decide they need a freezing procedure called cryoablation. The study looks at how this treatment is used in infants and children, including situations where it may be difficult or not possible at some point.
This study reviews duodenal polyps in people with FAP to improve how they are classified. It uses existing medical records from endoscopies (scope tests) to help doctors better understand and manage polyp growth.
This trial studies removing small growths in the duodenum (a part of the small intestine) in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) using a “cold snare” technique. It may help reduce the need for more intensive treatment and make follow-up care safer, but you must meet specific safety and readiness requirements.
This study tests a freezing technique, called cryoablation, to destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or other treatments, or if those treatments haven't worked.
This study tests a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for lung nodules that look like ground glass and are confirmed to be cancer. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.
