About this study

Official title: Comparison Between EMR and Precut-EMR for Colorectal Polyp; Randomized Prospective Study

This study was attempted to determine the efficacy and complication of precut EMR comparing with convetional EMR for resecting of 10 ~ 20 mm colon polyp through prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

In general, a potential risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia is proportional with size. However, recent study report that occurence rate of advanced neoplasia in small polyp is 9 ~ 10 %. And, incidence of interval cancer after screening colonoscopy was reported as 10 ~ 27%. So We can suspect that complete resection of small polyp is important. Previous study recommended that endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a safe and effective procedure for treating colon polyp larger than 20 mm because of high complete resection rate and low recurrence rate. In contrast, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is more recommended for resecting colon polyp smaller than 20 mm because of technical ease and low rate of complication.

However, Complete resection rate of conventional EMR is 60 ~ 70%. In case of incomplete resection, local recurrence rate is higher than complete resection. And In case of adenocarcinoma, specimen of piecemeal resection cannot be evaluated a depth of invasion and resection margin, and physician cannot decide a therapeutic plan.

In precut-EMR, mucosal resection is performed after pre-incision around a polyp. When precut EMR of polyp > 20 mm was performed in previous study, complete resection rate and en-bloc resection rate were higher and local recurrence rate was lower than conventional EMR. But, there is no study of comparsion precut EMR and conventional EMR for resecting colon polyp < 20 mm. This study was attempted to determine the efficacy and complication of precut EMR comparing with convetional EMR through prospective, randomized controlled trial.

What participants receive

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

  • Precut EMRProcedure or surgery

    For treating of 10~20mm colon polyp, patient will be randomly divided into two groups, a Precut-EMR group and a EMR group.

    In Precut-EMR, endoscopist submucosally inject with saline around a polyp. Subsequently, circumferential incision/precutting was made with the tip of the snare around 2 mm outside the tumor. After that, the snare was positioned in the cut groove and tightend, and the tumor was resected using electrical current.

  • Conventional MERProcedure or surgery

    EMR had been widely used technique. Endoscopist submucosally inject with saline around a polyp. After that, snare is positioned around a polyp, and polyp was resected using electrical current.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Procedure time

    Measured: procedure

  2. Complication such as perforation, bleeding

    Measured: baseline ( enrollment of all planned patient)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Precut EMR and Conventional MER in people with Colonic Polyps, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Histologic complete resection rate (time frame: baseline ( enrollment of all planned patient)). 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 5 Feb 2020.
