What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a new device called the Pathfinder rigidizing overtube, which stiffens during colon polyp removal to give doctors better control. Researchers will compare it to the standard procedure in 66 adults with colon growths. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery faster and safer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Novel Rigidizing Overtube (Pathfinder® Endoscope Overtube)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could make colon polyp removal faster and reduce complications, improving recovery for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants. The device may not work better than the standard approach, and there could be unforeseen risks.

Participants

About 66 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
