Performance and Safety of MiWEndo-assisted Colonoscopy (MiWEndo II)

Performance and Safety of MiWEndo-assisted Colonoscopy: MiWEndo II (Pivotal Study)

Sponsor

MiWEndo Solutions S.L.

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Aug 1, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Colorectal, Cancer Colorectal Neoplasms Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Colorectal Polyp Colorectal Adenoma Colorectal Adenomatous Polyp

Summary

The study involves the planned use of a new microwave-based device during colonoscopy procedures in 50 patients to assess the performance and safety of its use for detection of colorectal polyps and lack of normal clinical practice modification. The device is a final design version, which has been previously tested in several preclinical studies (including phantom studies, an ex vivo study with human tissues, and an in vivo study with porcine model) and in a pilot study in humans (NCT05477836)

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a device called MiWEndo, which assists colonoscopy by helping the scope navigate more easily through the colon, to see if it helps doctors find and remove polyps more effectively. **You may be eligible if...** - You have had a polyp previously found in your rectum and are being referred for its removal via colonoscopy - You are able to provide written informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are at high risk of complications from colonoscopy - You are not scheduled for a colonoscopy for polyp removal Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICEMiWEndo System

All colonoscopies will be performed with high-definition technology. The MiWEndo System will be fitted to the tip of the endoscope before colonoscopy is started and connected to the microwave processor unit. Endoscopies will be performed by experienced endoscopists who will be previously trained on the use of the MiWEndo System. The MiWEndo Analyzer will be managed by the assistant. At the beginning of the extubation, the MiWEndo System will be turned on and the endoscopist will put music headphones on (blind to the results of MiWEndo). In case one of them identifies a polyp, the exploration will be stopped and check if it has been detected by the alternative method as well. All the polyps will be resected and sent to the Pathological Department for histological analysis following the usual clinical practice. A stopwatch will be used to measure both total procedure time and withdrawal time.
