Colonoscopy is currently accepted as the gold standard in screening, surveillance and prevention for colorectal cancer (CRC), and therefore, its quality is a major priority. The quality of colonoscopy is greatly dependent on the quality of the bowel preparation. Standard bowel cleansing includes a low-fibre diet on the day preceding the exam and a split regimen of 4 litres of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. In order to improve bowel cleansing some additional measures are available. Simethicone is an inexpensive and safe antifoaming agent that reduces the surface tension of air bubbles, theoretically presenting several benefits such as increased tolerability to the preparation, thereby improving the quality of the preparation and, secondly, adenoma detection (ADR) and cecal intubation rates (CIR). However, its role remains controversial, with some publications supporting its administration and others failing to demonstrate clear benefits. The main aim of this study is to assess if addition of simethicone to a split-dose cleansing regimen of 4 litres of PEG improves adequate bowel preparation rate.
To monitor the Whole Gut Transit Time and repeatability of the motility of MD1 capsules in the colon of subjects with known polyps and in healthy subjects. Multi-Center, Open, Home Monitoring, Prospective Study. Up to 100 participants in various phases 2-5 capsules per person, (1 capsule at a time) The primary objective of the study is to monitor the variability of the motility of the MD1 capsules in the Gastrointestinal tract of human subjects with and without polyps in previous Colonoscopy.
To evaluate the feasibility and clinical significance of preserving left colonic artery in rectal cancer surgery.The investigators will focus on the effect of preserving left colonic artery during radical resection of rectal cancer on anastomotic leakage and oncology efficacy.
The main purpose of the study was to define maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) safety and tolerability of Peposertib in combination with capecitabine and radiotherapy (RT).
All procedures are performed in the investigator's outpatient gastroenterology and digestive endoscopy unit by experienced endoscopists in conventional mucosectomies of the lower intestinal tract. Before the procedure each patient, a normal endoscopic procedure. At the site of the lesion the lumen will be completely decompressed with aspiration of the gas, and then again relaxed with the instillation of only water. The EleviewTM will be injected into the submucosa in such quantities as to obtain a satisfactory lift of the lesion. The lesion will then be removed with a diathermic loop, preferably en-bloc, and in any case up to macroscopic evidence of complete resection. All the removed material will be stored and sent to histological analysis. Tolerability score will be recorded during the procedure. Any "bleeding" (both intra- and post-procedural), perforation, post-polypectomy syndrome, stenosis or death in the 6 months following the procedure will be born "complication". A surveillance colonoscopy including biopsy sampling of the research site scheduled 6 months after the procedure
Hernia formation at sites of ostomy closure is a common complication. The investigator believes that using evidence based hernia repair techniques as a preventive measure during closure of ostomies will reduce the incidence of hernia formation. In this trial, the investigator will pilot a novel technique of large pore monofilament polypropylene mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall defects that remain after closure of an ileostomy to evaluate for safety and begin to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard techniques.
The primary objective of this sub-study, 2018-10B, is to collect blood specimens to assess new biomarkers for the detection of Colorectal Cancer (CRC).
Protocol Title: Evaluation of safety, usability and subject compliance while using Check- Cap's C-Scan System for providing structural information on colonic polypoid lesions and masses Study Design: Prospective, Multi-center, Single-arm, safety study Purpose: To demonstrate the safety of the Check-Cap C-Scan System Study Centers: Up to two (2) centers located in the United States Number of Participants: 45 healthy subjects Investigational Device: Check-Cap's C-Scan System comprises C-Scan Capsule, C-Scan Track and C-Scan View. Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety of the Check-Cap C-Scan System Secondary Objectives: a. To evaluate subject's compliance b. To evaluate subject's satisfaction c. To collect data to improve the product's algorithm
Liver is the most common site of metastases from colorectal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with targeted agents is usually recommended for borderline-resectable liver metastases that are technically difficult to resect for conversion to resectable disease and control of metastatic spread. However, the prognosis of these patients are still poor, and long term disease-free survival over 3 years is rare and <20%. More effective measures to prevent recurrence are needed before or after resection of colorectal liver metastases.
