Active clinical trials for "Adenomatous Polyps"

This study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, feasibility study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ColubrisMX ELS System in patients undergoing transanal endoluminal procedures, specifically colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection.

The detection of adenomas is the basis for the follow-up of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis, after colectomy, with a remnant rectum or an ileal pouch. The optimal method for the adenomas detection is not defined yet. Despite the proven effectiveness of indigo-carmine in different indications dye chromoendoscopy is not used in a consensual way at the international level. The situation of the ileal pouch is specific as adenomas have a usually flat shape and are much more difficult to identify than in the situation of a remnant rectum, even in the situation of > 5 mm adenomas that should be resected. Our hypothesis is that indigo-carmine can improve adenomas detection, including > 5 mm adenomas, in patients with a an ileal pouch after colectomy improving the effectiveness of surveillance programs and potentially reducing the risk of cancer in this population.

Colorectal cancer accounted for 142,570 new cancer cases and 51,370 cancer deaths in USA in 2010 and worldwide has become the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer related deaths. Colonic adenomatous polyps are known precursors of colorectal cancer and endoscopic removal of the polyps prevents development of colon cancer. Removal of such large polyps requires special endoscopic techniques-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), which are more technically difficult to perform, labor intensive, time consuming and carries higher risks of complications (bleeding, perforations, etc.). The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the LumenR Retractor in performing EMR and ESD. It is hypothesized that the use of this modified colonic overtube will simplify colonoscopic removal of difficult polyps, decrease the time needed to complete the procedure and decrease the rate of complications post endoscopic removal of large and flat colonic.

Hypothesis 1: Exercise will decrease serum markers in a dose response manner. Hypothesis 2: Participants in the 60 minute intervention will have significantly higher physical activity levels than those in the 30 minute intervention at three months.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two doses purified EPA (an omega-3 fatty acid), on apoptosis (natural cell death) and cell proliferation (formation of new cells) in the lining of the colon for patients with a history of colonic polyps.

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to compare the efficacy and safety of celecoxib 400mg QD versus placebo in reducing the occurrence of new colorectal adenomas post-polypectomy at Month 13 (Year 1) and Month 37 (Year 3) of study drug administration.

Evaluation of the effect of H. pylori eradication on regression of H. pylori-related gastric polyp (Ranomized controlled trial) Study design: open labeled RCT Study group H. pylori eradication group (N=17), non-eradication group (N=15) Treatment plan Baseline EGD : 0.3-1cm sized polyp - bx & CLO test (antrum & body) ==> if H. pylori positive and eligible patients, randomization Triple therapy UBT (4week after eradication) Follow-up EGD: gross finding, CLO test Evaluation of polyp regression disappear regression over 50% (size, number) no change or increase (size, number)

The purpose of the study is to investigate if long-term treatment with three known drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) prevents recurrence of colorectal adenomas.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Selenium may be effective in preventing the recurrence of adenomatous colorectal polyps. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying selenium to see how well it works in preventing the recurrence of polyps in patients with adenomatous colorectal polyps.

This study is being done to evaluate single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for colorectal diseases, compared to multi-port laparoscopic surgery. This study is also intended to standardize the SILS technique for colorectal diseases
