Active clinical trials for "Adenoma"

Screening colonoscopy has been established as the most effective means of colorectal cancer prevention. This is based on the fact that colonoscopy detects and removes colonic polyps (adenomas) which are known to progress to cancer if left untreated. The present study examines the question whether case volume (i.e., the number of colonoscopies performed per year) correlates with colonoscopy quality, i.e., adenoma detection rate.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether sulindac and VSL#3 - inulin, either combined or alone, are effective in treating or preventing adenoma development in the ileal anal pouch in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.

This study is a multicentre, open, uncontrolled trial for the observation of histological changes in parathyroid adenomas following high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This study will be conducted in France in 10 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism scheduled for a parathyroidectomy. The patient will receive an HIFU treatment in the center of the adenoma before the surgery.

This study evaluates if : 1 ) the plasma aldosterone concentration and blood pressure change in response to roxithromycin could be useful for the screening of PA patients carrying a KCNJ5-mutated APA; 2) the change of PAC in response to mutated KCNJ5 channel is truly occurring in KCNJ5-mutated APA.

In this randomized controlled study, consecutive outpatients scheduled for elective colonoscopy were randomized into two groups. Group A patients (n = 300) used only 3L PEG before colonoscopy. Patients in group B (n = 300) were additionally advised to Dyclonine Hydrochloride Mucilage plus 3L PEG, The overall quality of colonoscopy cleaning was evaluated using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale by a single endoscopist who was blinded to the intervention. Visibility was blindly assessed for the amount of air bubbles and adenoma detection rate (ADR). Difficulty of procedure, and adverse events were also evaluated.

In European countries, colorectal cancer (CRC) represents an important public health problem. It is widely held view that most carcinomas develop from an adenoma-carcinoma progression. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a marker of high quality colonoscopy and it was inversely associated with the risk of interval colorectal cancer, advanced-stage interval cancer, and fatal interval cancer after colonoscopy. Although colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for adenoma detection, it has shown some limits, so industry has aimed at increasing detection rate of adenomas providing new technologies, most of witch to detect lesions located in blind spots. ARC Endocuff Vision (AEV), the second generation of Endocuff, represents a new generation of these devices, thus assessing the diagnostic sensibility of ARC Endocuff Vision assisted colonoscopy (EAC) is an interesting challenge. Aim of the study is to compare ADR of EAC versus standard colonoscopy among FIT positive subjects in the context of CRC screening programs.

Small growths detected in the colon (polyps) during a colonoscopy may or may not have the potential to develop into cancer. However, since visual inspection alone cannot separate all potentially harmful polyps from harmless ones, the standard approach is to remove them all for histological lab examination, exposing patients to risk of injury and putting a significant demand on hospital resources. An accurate method of determining polyp type during endoscopy would enable the clinician to only remove potentially harmful polyps. A new endoscopic optical imaging probe (OPTIC), which analyses how light interacts with tissue, is proposed to do this. The probe is contained within a normal endoscope and uses white light and blue/violet laser light to illuminate the tissue. The reflected and fluorescent light emitted, along with normal colour pictures of the polyp surface, are measured and recorded to quantify specific characteristics of each type. Optical measurements of polyps detected in endoscopy clinics at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust will be analysed to determine if the signal can be used to differentiate different polyp types.

This study is to evaluate the correlation of adenoma missing rate and quality indicators of colonoscopy including adenoma detection ratee (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR), adenoma per colonoscopy rate (APC), adenoma per positive participant (APP), ADR-Plus, and to find out the surrogate indicators of ADR. This study is a prospective observational multi-center study. Correlation between AMR and quality indicators of colonoscopy based on the previous studies, 8 endoscopists participated in this study and will enroll 50 screening colonoscopies respectively. Recruit research participants who want to participate in research in outpatient clinics. Perform colonoscopy in the morning after colon cleansing with split method. Colonoscopy is performed by back-to-back two consecutive colonoscopies. When the first colonoscopy is performed, the colonoscope is retracted after inserting the cecum, and all colon polyps are removed. After retracting to the anus of the first colonoscopy, the second colonoscopy is performed immediately. In case of newly detected colon polyps except for the small polyps and S-colon and rectal polyps which were left as photographs during the first colonoscopy with the second colonoscopy, we regard them as an overlooked lesion during the first colonoscopy. After the procedure, the histologic examination is confirmed and classified as benign lesions (all adenomas, advanced adenomas, dysplasia, and colorectal cancer) and non-lesion lesions. Using the back-to-back colonoscopy results of the participants during the study period, calculate the quality indicators including ADR, PDR, APC, ADR-plus, APP and AMR for each endoscopist. And then, evaluate the correlation between AMR and other quality indicators.

The coloscopy is considered as the gold standard for screening and resection of colorectal adenomas. However the literature reports that the rate of omitted adenoma is still high (24 to 41%). The development of the FUSE system (Endochoice, USA) allows a larger field of view with a projection onto 3 screens (330° vision). A pilot study and a randomized multicentre has demonstrated the feasibility with a significant improvement of the rate of detected adenomas. This first study in France concerning this technology has the objectives to demonstrate the feasibility in France, the safety and to compare the rate of detected adenomas with data of the literature.

Colonoscopy parameters will be compared before the introduction of the G-EYE endoscope and after the introduction of the G-EYE endoscope
