About this study

Official title: Prospective Registry of Endoscopic Resection Procedures Performed With the Assistance of a Novel Rigidizing Overtube

This study collects information regarding your procedure. No changes will be done to your procedure and you are asked to consent for the use of your data in our database. You are being asked to be in this research study because you have a gastrointestinal lesion that needs to be removed. We remove these lesions endoscopically as part of the standard of care at Baylor St. Luke Medical Center, and we will be using a FDA approved device known as the Pathfinder Rigidization Overtube to assist with the removal of the polyp. This study is important because this is a relatively new procedure; although it is a part of your standard of care it is not done in many hospitals. We would like to document the outcomes and results of such procedures to continuously improve our standard of care.

Read the detailed description

All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed. The Pathfinder Overtube is already being used to assist in polyp removal at our center and many other centers, thus the device itself is not experimental. All patients scheduled to undergo ESD or EMR for colonic lesions at the Baylor St Luke's Medical Center as medically indicated and standard of care will be considered for the study. Patients for whom ESD or EMR is considered as part of their standard medical care will be offered to participate in this study. The patients involvement in the study does not preclude the use of the Pathfinder Overtube. If the patient does not agree to participate, outcomes related to the use of the Pathfinder Overtube or personal information will not be recorded. The Pathfinder Overtube will still be used to assist in the removal of polyps as deemed appropriate by the endoscopist. The physician performing the procedure will also discuss the study with the subjects and ask them to sign a consent. If the patient agrees to participate, he or she will be given the informed consent form and allowed enough time to read it. Opportunity to ask questions will be provided.

Data collection: After obtaining the informed consent, the following information will be collected from the subject's chart regarding the procedure:

1- Demographic information related to the study participants (age, sex, race, MRN etc.) 2- Comorbid conditions of the study participant (prior history of hysterectomy, or other abdominal surgeries) 3- Total en bloc resection rate. 4- Total E0 resection rate. 5- Total length of procedure time. 6- Total number of polyps detected, 7- Stabilization within the gastrointestinal lumen 8- Complications within 1 week after the procedure (perforation, bleeding) Equipment and techniques: All procedures will be performed with the Pathfinder Overtube (already FDA approved for use within the gastrointestinal lumen) and 19-inch high-definition monitor (OEV 191H; OlympusAmerica Inc.).

If the patient agrees to participate, he or she will sign the consent form and a copy will be provided. Data will be prospectively recorded according to the data collection form. ESD or EMR with Pathfinder Overtube will be performed as medically indicated. Follow-up will be carried out as medically indicated and no additional studies or clinic visits will be needed specifically for the purpose of this study. Data collection will last approximately 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Technical success

    Defined by the completion of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) procedure while utilizing the Rigidization Overtube.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Procedure feasibility

    Defined by the ability of endoscopist to reach lesion of interest while using the Rigidization Overtube for ESD/EMR procedures and complete entire procedure with device. This will be assessed as a rate (percentage).

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. En bloc resection rate

    En bloc resection rate using the Rigidization Overtube.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. R0 resection rate

    To evaluate the R0 resection rates by assessing lesion margins while using the Rigidization Overtube.

    Measured: 3-5 days

  3. Procedure time

    Determine overall procedure times using the Rigidizing Overtube.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Polyps, run by Baylor College of Medicine 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 15 Feb 2024. 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?

Technical success (time frame: Day 1). 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 15 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
