Endoscopic Full-thickness REsection of Residual Colorectal Lesions - The FiRE Study
A study testing over- the- scope full- thickness resection device (FTRD) and EMR in people with Adenoma, run by Technical University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.
Trial summary
Adenomatous lesions of the colon are premalignant lesions which have the potential to develop cancer. Therefore adenomas should be resected endoscopically (endo- mucosa resection, EMR). EMR is conducted after submucosal injection of saline which allows to lift the desired lesion prior to resection. Read more about this study

About this study
Adenomatous lesions of the colon are premalignant lesions which have the potential to develop cancer. Therefore adenomas should be resected endoscopically (endo- mucosa resection, EMR). EMR is conducted after submucosal injection of saline which allows to lift the desired lesion prior to resection. In some cases EMR is complicated due to incomplete or failed lifting after the injection of saline. This so- called "non- lifting" sign is a predictor for malignancy of the lesion. Difficult- to- lift polyps are also difficult- to- resect. A higher proportion of these lesions fail to be resected completely using the EMR technique.
Alternatively, an over- the- scope full- thickness resection device (FTRD) can be used in order to resect colonic lesions. The FTRD technique has been described elsewhere (Schmidt et al. Gastroenterology 2014; 147: 740-742.e2). No comparative data exists until now on the performance of FTRD resection compared to standard EMR resection of difficult- to- resect colon adenomas.
In this study the investigators aim to compare the success of FTRD versus EMR of difficult- to- resect adenomatous lesions (≤ 20 mm).

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Adenomatous lesions of the colon are premalignant lesions which have the potential to develop cancer. Therefore adenomas should be resected endoscopically (endo- mucosa resection, EMR). EMR is conducted after submucosal injection of saline which allows to lift the desired lesion prior to resection. In some cases EMR is complicated due to incomplete or failed lifting after the injection of saline. This so- called "non- lifting" sign is a predictor for malignancy of the lesion. Difficult- to- lift polyps are also difficult- to- resect. A higher proportion of these lesions fail to be resected completely using the EMR technique.
Alternatively, an over- the- scope full- thickness resection device (FTRD) can be used in order to resect colonic lesions. The FTRD technique has been described elsewhere (Schmidt et al. Gastroenterology 2014; 147: 740-742.e2). No comparative data exists until now on the performance of FTRD resection compared to standard EMR resection of difficult- to- resect colon adenomas.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing over- the- scope full- thickness resection device (FTRD) and EMR in people with Adenoma, run by Technical University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Peter Klare, MD (+49 89 4140 2251, peter.klare@lrz.tum.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Success of resection (time frame: 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
