COLORECTAL ADENOMA

This study is testing a robotic device that doctors use through the anus to remove benign growths (polyps, adenomas) from the rectum and sigmoid colon. The goal is to see if the device can remove the entire growth in one piece safely, without causing bleeding or a hole in the bow…

This study follows 404 people who previously had either an AI-assisted or conventional colonoscopy. Researchers want to see if AI help lowers the risk of developing advanced colon polyps later. Participants will undergo a surveillance colonoscopy to check for new growths.

This study compares two methods used during colonoscopy to remove large, flat colon polyps: marking the edges before removal or using heat to treat the edges after removal. The goal is to see which method better prevents polyps from growing back. About 342 adults with polyps 20 m…

Colon cancer is common but preventable if caught early. While colonoscopy is the best screening tool, many people can't get one due to cost or time. This study collects stool and blood samples from 1,200 adults to find proteins that signal colon polyps or cancer. The goal is to d…

This study compares two ways to monitor older adults (ages 65-82) who have had colon polyps in the past: an annual stool test (FIT) or a colonoscopy every few years. About 9,000 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods and followed for up to 11 years to se…

This study is testing whether a blood test that measures a protein called MMP14 can help screen for colorectal cancer. Researchers will enroll 650 people aged 50 to 74 who already need a colonoscopy after a positive stool test. By comparing MMP14 levels with colonoscopy results, …

This study is testing an artificial intelligence system that helps doctors find precancerous polyps (called adenomas) in the colon during a colonoscopy. The AI analyzes images from a special scope to predict which polyps are dangerous. Researchers will enroll 4,000 adults to see …

This study compares two ways to monitor people who have had polyps removed from their colon: a fecal test that checks for blood in stool versus a standard colonoscopy. Researchers want to see if the simpler stool test is just as good at catching new cancers or high-risk polyps. A…

This study tests a new microwave-based device, called MiWEndo, that is used during a standard colonoscopy to help doctors find polyps in the colon. About 50 people who already have a polyp in their rectum will take part. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can find more …

This study tests whether eating more plants and fewer animal foods can lower colorectal cancer risk. Researchers will measure changes in bile acids, gut bacteria, and other markers in 40 adults who have had colon polyps removed. Participants follow a self-guided diet for several …

This study tests whether taking a probiotic called Clostridium butyricum can prevent colorectal adenomas (precancerous polyps) from returning after they are removed during a colonoscopy. About 294 adults aged 18-75 who have had all visible polyps removed will take either the prob…

This study tests whether giving personalized diet and lifestyle advice to people who had a positive colorectal cancer screening (but no cancer) can help them adopt healthier habits and potentially prevent future cancer. 800 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the ad…

This early-phase study tests whether tirzepatide, a drug used for diabetes and weight loss, can lower biological markers linked to colorectal cancer risk. Researchers will enroll 20 adults aged 18-50 with a BMI between 27 and 40 who have had a recent colonoscopy. The goal is to s…

This study is building a risk prediction model for colorectal adenomas (precancerous polyps) by combining data from both Traditional Chinese Medicine (like tongue and pulse diagnosis) and Western medicine (like endoscopy and lab tests). Researchers will follow 3,000 adults across…

This study looks at 300 people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers want to understand why some patients still develop cancer even with regular check-ups. They will analyze blood, gut bacteria, and hair samples to find cl…
