Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Colorectal cancer accounted for 142,570 new cancer cases and 51,370 cancer deaths in USA in 2010 and worldwide has become the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer related deaths. Colonic adenomatous polyps are known precursors of colorectal cancer and endoscopic removal of the polyps prevents development of colon cancer. Removal of such large polyps requires special endoscopic techniques-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), which are more technically difficult to perform, labor intensive, time consuming and carries higher risks of complications (bleeding, perforations, etc.). The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the LumenR Retractor in performing EMR and ESD. It is hypothesized that the use of this modified colonic overtube will simplify colonoscopic removal of difficult polyps, decrease the time needed to complete the procedure and decrease the rate of complications post endoscopic removal of large and flat colonic.

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
