Sponsor
Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf
Enrollment
10 participants
Start Date
Dec 6, 2023
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility for the treatment of precancerous peri-ampullary FAP polyps in the duodenum using low-thermal argonplasma.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 80 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study tests whether cold atmospheric plasma — a type of ionized gas delivered through an endoscope — can treat small polyps in the small intestine (duodenum) in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that causes many polyps to grow in the digestive tract.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of FAP
- You have duodenal polyps that have been classified as Spigelman stage III (a moderate level of polyp burden)
- Your polyps are smaller than 10 mm
- You are able and willing to provide written informed consent
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- Your polyps appear suspicious for high-grade cell changes or cancer
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have serious medical illnesses with a life expectancy under 1 year
- You have a severe blood clotting disorder
- Your intestine has inflammation, scarring, or narrowing that prevents the procedure
