Filter by:The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of submucosal injection of EverLift in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps 4-9mm during colonoscopy.
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of cold forcep and cold snare in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps <=3mm during colonoscopy.
This study is an open label, unblinded, non-randomized interventional study, comparing the investigational artificial intelligence tool with the current "gold standard": Data acquisition will be obtained during one scheduled colonoscopic procedure by a trained endoscopist. During insertion, no action will be taken, colonoscopy is performed following the standard of care. Once withdrawal is started, a second observer (not a trained endoscopist but person trained in polyp recognition) will start the bedside Artificial intelligence (AI) tool, connected to the endoscope's tower, for detection. This second observer is trained in assessing endoscopic images to define the AI tool's outcome. Due to the second observer watching the separate AI screen, the endoscopist is blinded of the AI outcome. When a detection is made by the AI system that is not recognized by the endoscopist, the endoscopist will be asked to relocate that same detection and to reassess the lesion and the possible need of therapeutic action. All detections are separately counted and categorized by the second observer. All polyp detections will be removed following standard of care for histological assessment. The entire colonoscopic procedure is recorded via a separate linked video-recorder.
Interventional prospective multicenter study: Polyp detection by an automated endoscopic tool as second observer during routine diagnostic colonoscopy
In the past decade, the demand for colonoscopy procedures has increased significantly since the introduction of population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in many western countries. Post-polypectomy surveillance will increase the number of colonoscopy procedures conducted each year even further. The invasive nature of colonoscopy and the associated health-care costs warrant the development of a new non-invasive test to reduce the number of unnecessary colonoscopies. These days, many countries use a non-invasive fecal test for CRC screening which is easy to perform at home, but test characteristics such as sensitivity and specificity are suboptimal. Multiple studies have already shown that volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis has a high diagnostic accuracy for CRC and Advanced Adenomas. An additional VOC analysis, for example through breath testing, in patients with a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) may reduce the number of unnecessary colonoscopies. The aim of this study is to validate the diagnostic accuracy of the AeonoseTM to distinguish patients with CRC from healthy controls, and to assess reproducibility of test results.
The EndoRotor® is intended for use (USA labeling) in endoscopic procedures by a trained gastroenterologist to resect and remove tissue, not intended for biopsy, of the gastrointestinal (GI) system including post-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) tissue persistence with a scarred base and residual tissue from the peripheral margins following EMR. In this trial investigators will conduct a post-market, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study for the treatment of subjects with the need for resection of recurrent flat or sessile colorectal lesions where EndoRotor is the primary resection modality of persistent adenoma with a scarred base.
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact on Adenomas Per Colonoscopy (APC) with a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) software assisting the gastroenterologist during a colonoscopy procedure.
Eliminating the need for conventional histopathological assessment of diminutive colon polyps - The Non-Optical Resect and Discard (NORD) study
Colonoscopy is the technique of choice for the diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC). The identification and extirpation of adenomas decreases the incidence of CRC by up to 76%. More than 70% of the excised lesions are less than 10 mm. There is controversy about the technique to be used (resection with cold vs hot snare) in lesions of 5-9mm. Both use a polypectomy snare. The cold snare cuts by friction, while the hot snare uses electrical current. We propose a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing both endoscopic techniques. At least 394 injuries per group will be included, randomizing patients to whom a diagnostic colonoscopy is requested for symptoms, screening or revision protocols. Randomization will be performed stratified by center. The primary objective is the proportion of incomplete polypectomies, which will be analyzed centrally from random biopsies of the edges of the lesion. As secondary objectives, we will compare the proportion of immediate and delayed hemorrhagic complications, the evolution of postprocedural abdominal pain and the factors associated with incomplete excision in each group and the factors associated with a failed cold polypectomy. The analysis of the primary objective will be carried out by means of the z test of homogeneity without using the correction of Yates, estimating the confidence interval of the difference between both groups. The analysis will be carried out by intention to treat and per protocol.
Freenome is using a type of artificial intelligence, called machine learning, to identify patterns of cell-free biomarkers in blood to detect cancer early. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a blood-based assay to detect colorectal cancer by collecting blood and stool samples from healthy patients undergoing routine screening colonoscopy and from patients recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer or advanced adenomas.
