Filter by:This study is a multicentre randomized parallel group phase IV study comparing the bowel cleansing efficacy, safety and tolerability of PLENVU® (a 1 litre PEG Bowel Cleansing Solution) versus SELG-ESSE® (a 4 litre PEG Bowel Cleansing Solution) using a 2-Day Split Dosing Regimen.
This is a prospective randomised trial comparing the proximal adenoma detection rate and miss rate by blue laser imaging (BLI), narrow band imaging or white light colonoscopy.
Linked color imaging (LCI) is newly developed image-enhancing endoscopy technology that differentiates the red color spectrum more effectively than white light imaging thanks to its optimal pre-process composition of light spectrum and advanced signal processing. This technology, combined in the latest generation Fujifilm's endoscopes (Fujifilm Co, Tokyo, Japan) with new high-performance LED illumination system, enhances the visibility of colonic mucosal vessels and might increase the detection rate of colorectal polyps. Data available regarding colorectal polyp or adenoma detection with LCI are encouraging but are scanty and limited to back-to back studies. This two parallel arms, randomized, multicenter trial is aimed at evaluating whether LCI is superior to WL endoscopy in terms of adenoma detection
Adenomas, serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps are polypoid lesion in the colorectum. At the present moment, all polyps should be resected endoscopically, although only adenomas and serrated adenomas, but not hyperplastic polyps have the potential to develop colorectal cancer. This approach enables the conduction of microscopic investigations of the lesions. By today, only the pathological diagnosis can distinguish exactly between these three polyp entities. Some studies have investigated the value of the optical characterization approach which is based on visual assessment of the polyp' surface structures. Based upon optical polyp features users are encouraged to predict histopathological polyp diagnoses solely on behalf of optical or endoscopical criteria. This method is conducted in real time during colonoscopy. If it could be shown, that endoscopist using the optical characterization approach are able to predict histopathological diagnoses of colonic polyps sufficiently this would possibly lead to simplification of diagnostic procedures. For instance, it would be conceivable to resect small polyps and discard them without further assessment by a pathologist. One problem in this context is a correct differentiation between hyperplastic polyps and serrated adenomas. These two polyp entities are known to show similar optical features. However, while serrated adenomas are premalignant lesions hyperplastic polyps have benign histology and never develop into cancer. It is therefore important to sufficiently distinguish hyperplastic polyps from serrated lesions. In this study we want to investigate whether the use of narrow-band imaging (NBI) would be capable to rise accuracy of optical polyp predictions compared to standard HD white light endoscopy. NBI is a light filter tool which can be activated by pressing a button at the endoscope. The use of NBI leads to an endoscopic picture which appears blue and enables endoscopists to better assess surface structures and vascular patterns. In a prospective randomised multicenter setting we plan to conduct colonoscopy in 370 patients. Half of the patients will be examined without the use of NBI (control arm). In these cases colonoscopists will assess optical diagnosis of polyps without turning on the NBI tool. If polyps are detected in patients belonging to the intervention arm NBI will be used and optical diagnosis will be determined using the WASP (Workgroup serrAted polypS and Polyposis) classification. All polyps will be resected and send to pathology for further microscopic assessment. After completing the trial we aim to compare accuracy of the optical diagnosis in both groups. Our hypothesis is, that by using NBI accordance between optical and histopathological diagnosis can be increased from 80% to 90%.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in preventing colon adenomas in participants with Lynch syndrome and a history of surgery to remove part of the colon. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This clinical trial is being conducted to assess whether second forward view examination of proximal colon could increase adenoma detection rate of right colon.
The purpose of this observational study is to record performance of a double balloon endolumenal interventional platform during complex colon polypectomy.
During colonoscopy, the endoscopist will document prospectively all polyps detected and note the size, location and morphology. Polyps of 4-20 mm will be removed only in accordance with the method the cold snare. Afterwards, the remaining tissues could be observed with an imaging technology called Optivista with an injection of 10-50 ml of saline solution (if required) to improve visibility of the tissues. The endoscopist will continue to remove the remaining polyp tissue (with a snare or forceps) until there are no more visible polyp tissues. Biopsies from the polyp resection site will be sent to the laboratory for analysis to confirm the complete resection.
A prospective, multicentre, observational study of all patients referred for endoscopic resection of sessile colorectal polyps sized ≥20 mm conducted with intention to treat analysis
The study will compare the use of cold snare, hot snare, cold EMR, and hot EMR for polyp resection. Although previous studies have compared two of the potential resection methods, no previous study has evaluated all four of the resection methods.
