Evaluation of EverLift in the Performance of Polypectomy for Polyps 4-9mm

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Polyp of Colon
Colo-rectal Cancer
Adenomatous Polyp of Colon
Interventions
Device: Use of EverLift
Device: Without use of EverLift
Registration Number
NCT04551014
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of submucosal injection of EverLift in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps 4-9mm during colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

The details of the proposed study are as follows:

1. Experimental group: using EverLift submucosal injection for polyps 4-9mm of the colon

2. Control group: not using EverLift submucosal injection for polyps 4-9mm of the colon

3. Methods:

1. Colonoscopy will be performed in the same standard of care manner as if no study was taking place.

2. If polyps 4-9mm are identified, the endoscopist is randomized to performing polypectomy with or without submucosal injection of EverLift.

3. After removal of the polypectomy, two biopsies are performed at the margin of the polypectomy site to identify residual lesion.

4. The polyp as well as well as the two biopsies are reviewed by a pathologist.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Polyps With Complete Resection2 weeks

The primary outcome measured is comparison of completeness of resection between the with EverLift and without EverLift groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Polyps Requiring Multiple Snare Attempts to Achieve Complete Endoscopic Polypectomy.During the procedure (up to 10 minutes)
Number of Patients With Procedural Complications4 weeks (from procedure through 30 day follow-up)

Procedural complications include perforation and immediate post-polypectomy bleeding, early post-polypectomy bleed (within 24 hours) and delayed post polypectomy bleed (between 24 hours and 30 days). Early post-polypectomy bleed and delayed post-polypectomy bleed is evaluated based on emergency room (ER) visit, inpatient stay, transfusion needed, repeat colonoscopy required, surgical intervention required, and mortality.

Time to ResectionDuring the procedure

The time between the snare is introduced till the polyp is removed and retrieved will be compared between the with and without EverLift groups.
