About this study
Official title: Cold EMR Vs Standard EMR for the Treatment of Large Nonpedunculated Homogeneous Colorectal Lesions.Randomized and Multicentric Clinical Trial
This study compares the effectiveness in complete resection (absence of recurrence at 6 months) the two different techniques for performing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of nonpedunculated homogeneous colorectal lesions >20mm
Read the detailed description
Colonoscopy is the reference diagnostic test for the study of colon diseases. This procedure also allows the realization of endoscopic therapeutics techniques; thus, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an effective and safe therapy for the treatment of premalignant and early malignant colorectal lesions of the colon and its use is universal.
Usually, colon lesions larger than 10 mm (or pedunculated of any size) require for resection the use of electrocoagulation current (or hot snare polypectomy) and thus is reflected in the most recent clinical practice guidelines (ESGE guidelines, for example). However, the risk of side adverse effects from the use of electrocoagulation is not insignificant and includes post-polypectomy bleeding, post-polypectomy syndrome, post-polypectomy fever and/or immediate or delayed perforation. This risk of complications is higher depending on the characteristics and size of colorectal lesions resected.
On the other hand, currently in small lesions not pedunculated (< 10 mm), it is recommended to use cold snare polypectomy according to ESGE clinical guidelines, as it has been seen in previous studies that this reduces complication rates without varying the effectiveness in resection.
However, in lesions > 10 mm the previous experience with cold snare resection is less, probably motivated by the possible drawbacks in terms of the possible difficulty of resection of thick tissue with cold snare and a possible increased intra-procedure hemorrhagic risk that can make it difficult to see the scar, with the possibility of leaving residual tissue.
However, in recent years the accumulated evidence gathered in various studies and grouped in a recent systematic review suggests that endoscopic mucosal resection with cold snare (Cold-EMR) may be safer than electrocoagulation resection for both 10-19mm lesions and for lesions >20 mm, associated with a lower rate of adverse effects with similar efficacy rates in terms of complete resection and adenomatous recurrence rate. Still, evidence for the treatment of nonpedunculated lesions >20 mm is relatively limited and is not based on randomized comparative studies with the standard EMR technique.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete resection of the lesion
Complete resection of the lesion is defined as the non-visualization by the endoscopist of a residual lesion in the mucosal defect and its edge at the end of the EMR and no visualization of recurrence in the post-EMR scar on the first surveillance colonoscopy and absence of recurrence data in scar biopsies
Measured: 3-6 months
Secondary outcomes (15)
Security profile
Security profile is defined as the observed percentage of complications (Intra-procedure bleeding, deferred bleeding, deferred bleeding in antiplatelet and/or anticoagulated patients,post-polypectomy fever, post-polypectomy syndrome, deep muscle damage and perforation) in each of the evaluated techniques.
Measured: 30 days

Measured: 1 day

Number of clip used for hemostatic purposes or for the prophylactic closure of the injury
Measured: 1 day

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study compares the effectiveness in complete resection (absence of recurrence at 6 months) the two different techniques for performing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of nonpedunculated homogeneous colorectal lesions >20mm
Detailed description
Colonoscopy is the reference diagnostic test for the study of colon diseases. This procedure also allows the realization of endoscopic therapeutics techniques; thus, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an effective and safe therapy for the treatment of premalignant and early malignant colorectal lesions of the colon and its use is universal.
Usually, colon lesions larger than 10 mm (or pedunculated of any size) require for resection the use of electrocoagulation current (or hot snare polypectomy) and thus is reflected in the most recent clinical practice guidelines (ESGE guidelines, for example). However, the risk of side adverse effects from the use of electrocoagulation is not insignificant and includes post-polypectomy bleeding, post-polypectomy syndrome, post-polypectomy fever and/or immediate or delayed perforation. This risk of complications is higher depending on the characteristics and size of colorectal lesions resected.
On the other hand, currently in small lesions not pedunculated (< 10 mm), it is recommended to use cold snare polypectomy according to ESGE clinical guidelines, as it has been seen in previous studies that this reduces complication rates without varying the effectiveness in resection.

What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Standard Endoscopic Mucosal Resection and Cold Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection in people with Adenoma Colon and Serrated Polyp, run by Oscar Nogales at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Complete resection of the lesion (time frame: 3-6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04418843, which also lists 16 linked publications.
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 28 Sep 2023.
