Cold Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) vs Cold EMR With Margin Snare Tip Soft Coagulation (STSC)

Sponsor

Western Sydney Local Health District

Enrollment

300 participants

Start Date

Sep 19, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Randomised controlled trial comparing cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) with cold snare EMR and adjuvant margin STSC in the complete resection of 15-40mm lateral-spreading adenomas


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is comparing two techniques for removing large flat polyps (called laterally spreading lesions) from the colon during colonoscopy — standard cold snare removal versus a technique that adds a brief heat treatment to the edges after removal — to see which one reduces the chance of the polyp coming back. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old undergoing a colonoscopy - You have at least one flat polyp in the colon or rectum between 15 and 40 mm in size with features suggesting it is a benign adenoma - The polyp has specific surface and shape characteristics (granular or non-granular, Paris class 0-IIa/IIb) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (other than aspirin) that have not been appropriately stopped - You have a known bleeding disorder - You are pregnant - You have inflammatory bowel disease - You have had prior treatment to the same polyp site Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDURECold Snare Endoscopic mucosal resection with adjuvant snare tip soft coagulation

Use of injected chromogelofusine solution to raise a lesion prior to polypectomy. Lesion then removed with a stiff thin-wired snare. Following this defect margins are treated with electrocautery to create a rim of ablated tissue.
