This trial will compare a new device to conventional treatment for colonic surgery. It's expected to lead to faster procedure times and fewer adverse events.
See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals at least 22 years old needing a procedure called ESD for colon tumors. They must have specific types of lesions, like those with scars or certain large spreading tumors, and not be located in the sigmoid colon or rectum. Pregnant or nursing women cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new device called Pathfinder® Endoscope Overtube during ESD procedures against conventional methods. The aim is to see if this overtube can make the procedure quicker and safer by providing better control over the endoscope.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, typical risks may include discomfort at the insertion site, potential bleeding from tissue removal, infection risk post-procedure, and possible adverse reactions related to stability and control issues.
