About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Effectiveness and Safety of the Endoscopic Removal of Large and Flat Colonic Polyps With LumenR RetractorTM (LR) as a Modified Colonic Overtube

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.

Read the detailed description

All patients presented for endoscopic removal of difficult colonic polyps will be eligible for the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. All procedures will be explained by the Investigator and all subjects undergoing treatment will review and sign the study Informed Consent prior to the procedure. Each subject will be randomly assigned to two groups, Group 1 and Group 2, and according to the assignment, the LumenR Retractor will be used or not during the procedure.

Patient preparation, including intravenous sedation, will be the same for both Groups.

Group 1: A traditional pediatric colonoscope will be advanced into the colon and endoscopic removal of the polyp will be performed.

Group 2: A traditional pediatric colonoscope with a modified overtube preloaded over the endoscope will be advanced into the colon. After the polyp is reached, the overtube will be advanced forward and expanded around the polyp. Endoscopic removal of the polyp with the use of commercially available graspers and biopsy forceps inserted through the overtube working channels will be performed.

At the conclusion of each procedure, the size of the polyp, total procedure time, amount of CO2 used for colonic insufflation, amount of fluid used for submucosal injection, and any complications, including bleeding and perforation, will be recorded. At the end of the procedure, if necessary, the resulting mucosal defect after lesion removal will be closed with endoscopic clips or endoscopic suturing device.

After completion of procedure, all subjects will be recovered according to standard recovery room protocol and then discharged home or admitted to hospital if necessary. Subjects will be followed at 24 hours, and 10 days post treatment and any complications post endoscopic removal of the polyp will be recorded. At 3 months post treatment, all subjects will have repeat colonoscopy to evaluate post polypectomy site and remove any residual polypoid tissue found.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of successful en block removal of polyps

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Length of time required to remove large and flat colonic polyps

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas for colonic insufflation used during procedure

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Amount of solution used for submucosal injection to lift the polyp

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Presence of residual polypoid tissue at the site of polypectomy

    A colonoscopy will be performed to evaluate the polypectomy site and remove any residual polypoid tissue if found.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Safety assessment based on the number of delayed adverse events and complications

    Measured: 10 days

  5. Rate of bleeding during polypectomy

    Estimate of rate of bleeding during endoscopic removal of difficult colonic polyps

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Rate of perforation during polypectomy

    To compare rate of perforation during endoscopic removal of difficult colonic polyps

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LumenR Retractor and Removal without overtube in people with Colonic Adenomatous Polyps, run by Mercy Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of successful en block removal of polyps (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2018.
