What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a simple clip-and-floss traction device can speed up the removal of large colon polyps using a technique called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). About 280 people scheduled for ESD will be randomly assigned to receive either the traction device or standard ESD. The main goal is to see if the traction device increases the speed of tissue removal, which could make the procedure more efficient.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
clip-traction device (an endoscopic clip with a loop of dental floss attached to the lesion and anchored to the bowel wall)
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple traction technique could make colon polyp removal faster and potentially safer, improving outcomes for patients.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and the benefit may be modest. The device could also add complexity or risk of tissue damage during the procedure.
