About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Cold Snare Polypectomy vs. Conventional Polypectomy for Non-pedunculated Colorectal Adenomas

A prospective randomised controlled trial of cold vs hot snare polypectomy of non-pedunculated colorectal adenomas.

Read the detailed description

Diagnostic colonoscopy will be performed in all patients. If a polyp, appropriate for inclusion criteria, is identified, an endoscopic polypectomy will be assigned. All eligible polyps will be randomly assigned (1:1) to endoscopic polypectomy with either the cold snare resection or hot snare resection (control group). Randomization will be stratified using random numbers. After resection, the marginal mucosa will be carefully observed with used of magnification and image enhancement (near focus imaging or narrow band imaging) for determine residual tissue. The time period when the snare will be entered in the bowel lumen and until a polyp will be retrieved will be recorded by a stopwatch.

All polyps will be retrieved for morphological examination to estimate R0/R1resetion. After polypectomy all patients will be observed for 3-4 days in-hospital to diagnose and eliminate complications (delayed bleeding and perforations). All patients will have a control colonoscopy 6 months after polypectomy to investigate long-term results.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cold snare polypectomyProcedure or surgery

    After a target polyp was identified, it should be placed at the comfortable position. Then the snare will be opened and encircled the polyp without air aspiration. Then, the snare will be captured the polyp with at least 1-2 mm of surrounding normal tissue. The polyp will be guillotined and would not be lifted or tented until complete closure is achieved. After resection, the mucosal defect the marginal mucosa was carefully observed, with used of magnification and image enhancement. If residual polyp tissue was recognised, additional removal using the cold snare technique or biopsy forceps will be performed. If a submucosal injection prior to snaring was necessary it will be permitted. After polypectomy all patients will be observed for 3-4 days in-hospital

  • Hot snare polypectomyProcedure or surgery

    After a target polyp was identified, it should be placed at the comfortable position. Then the polyp with minimal normal tissue will be captured by the snare. The ensnared polyp should be tented away from the colonic wall and removed by one the types of electric currents. After resection, the mucosal defect will be washed thoroughly and the marginal mucosa was carefully observed, with used of magnification and image enhancement, such as near focus imaging or narrow band imaging. If a submucosal injection prior to snaring was necessary it would be permitted. If residual polyp tissue was recognised, additional removal using coagulation or biopsy forceps will be performed. After polypectomy all patients will be observed for 3-4 days in-hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cold snare polypectomy and Hot snare polypectomy in people with Colorectal Polyp, run by State Scientific Centre of Coloproctology, Russian Federation at 1 site in Russia.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 6 Mar 2019. 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 Russia. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

R0 resection rate (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Mar 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
