New device could make colonoscopies greener and more accurate
NCT ID NCT07005453
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a tool called SCALE-EYE that helps doctors measure the size of polyps during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works better than current methods and can reduce the number of follow-up colonoscopies, waste, and carbon footprint. About 241 people aged 55-80 having screening or surveillance colonoscopies will take part.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants aged 55-80 * Scheduled for fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening or surveillance colonoscopy * Polyps of all forms ≤25 mm as assessed by the endoscopist Exclusion Criteria: * No detected colorectal polyps or only diminutive (≤5 mm) hyperplastic rectal polyps are present * Inadequate bowel preparation (Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS) \<2 per segment) * Intraprocedural complications, not caused by the study device * Known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) * Polyposis syndromes (e.g. serrated polyposis, familial adenomatous polyposis) * Ileoanal pouch and anastomosis * History of radiation or chemotherapy for colorectal lesions * Scheduled for therapeutic procedure (for example intervention to stop a lower gastro-intestinal bleeding, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)) * Pregnancy * No Informed consent (IC) possible
