Active clinical trials for "Polyps"

Most colorectal cancers arise from polyps. Most polyps removed at colonoscopy are small. New technologies such as narrowband imaging (NBI) offer the possibility of in differentiation between precancerous and unimportant small polyps. Use of these technologies could decrease the costs and potentially the risks of screening and surveillance colonoscopy. Multiple studies have demonstrated the ability of experienced endoscopists to achieve high accuracy in differentiating polyp types using NBI. The investigators hypothesize that community-based endoscopists can learn to identify polyp type at colonoscopy with the aid of NBI through the use of an introductory didactic program, followed by practice based-learning, and that their experience can serve as guidelines for wider dissemination. The purpose of this study is to test an educational program combining a didactic program followed by practice-based learning that is designed to allow community-based endoscopists to become proficient at the use of NBI in the colon. This study will not affect the care of patients in any way. The research subjects will be the endoscopists, who will perform colonoscopy and polyp removal in the usual clinical fashion, with the addition of attempting to predict polyp type before resection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the new RJ4 compare with the standard RJ3 biopsy forceps for performing polypectomy for small colorectal polyps.

This study evaluates the efficacy of small colorectal polyp removal using cold endoscopic mucosal resection with hot endoscopic mucosal resection. Half of the participants will receive cold endoscopic mucosal resection, while the other half will receive hot endoscopic mucosal resection.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of SDX-3101 for treatment of adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) by investigating a vibration pattern of SDX-3101 compared to a control

That Circumferential Submucosal Incision Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (CSI-EMR) will be at least as safe but more effective than conventional EMR for injection assisted EMR of large laterally spreading tumour and sessile polyps of the colon.

The purpose of this study is to test whether calcium and/or vitamin D supplementation favorably affects a set of biomarkers of risk for colon cancer in persons who are at higher than average risk for colon cancer (ie, have already undergone the removal of adenomatous polyps, which are known to be precursors to developing colon cancer).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit and safety of using a computer aided detection device, Skout, for real-time polyp detection in colonoscopy procedures with the indication of screening or surveillance. One of the reasons for the development of interval colorectal cancers is polyps missed during colonoscopy. Our hypothesis is that with the aid of Skout, the adenomas detected per colonoscopy will increase, and it is plausible to believe that this increase in detection could reduce the incidence of interval cancers.

This study was attempted to determine the efficacy and complication of precut EMR comparing with convetional EMR for resecting of 10 ~ 20 mm colon polyp through prospective, randomized controlled trial.

The investigators hypothesize that the clinical implementation of an AI system is an optimal tool to monitor, audit and improve the detection and classification of polyps during colonoscopy. The purpose of this prospective clinical cohort study is to evaluate the performance of the SCALE-EYE virtual scale for measuring polyp size when used during live colonoscopies. The investigators also wish to evaluate CAD-eye for detection and classification of polyp histology. It is hypothesized that CAD-eye and SCALE-EYE can function in real-time practice with high accuracy.

Careful inspection and evaluation of the post-polipectomy scars of polyps greater than 20 mm looking for residual polyp is mandatory. LCI has demonstrated to improve polyp and adenoma detection rate in previous studies. However, to our knowledge no previous studies have been made for validation of LCI for optical diagnosis of a scar looking for residual neoplasia after a previous polypectomy. We hypothesize that LCI will improve the optical diagnosis of polyp recurrence compared to WLE. So, our aim is to compare the efficacy of linked color imaging for optical diagnosis of post-polypectomy scar recurrence compared with high-definition white light endoscopy.
