Can High-Tech camera modes make colon polyp removal safer?
NCT ID NCT07474844
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if two advanced imaging modes, TXI and RDI, built into standard colonoscopy equipment, could make removing large colon polyps faster and safer. The trial was planned for adults with polyps 20 mm or larger, but it was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled. No drugs or devices were tested—only software-based image enhancements.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that using TXI and RDI during colonoscopy reduces procedure time and lowers the risk of bleeding or polyp regrowth, leading to safer, more effective polyp removal without extra cost or devices.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study that was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The imaging tools are already FDA-cleared, but the structured workflow may not prove beneficial in larger, more diverse settings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older. * Undergoing elective colonoscopy at the Medical College of Wisconsin. * Presence of one or more large (≥20 mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps identified for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). * EMR performed using an Olympus EVIS X1 endoscopy platform with TXI and RDI imaging capability. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent for study participation, including collection of procedural imaging and clinical follow-up dat Exclusion Criteria: * Procedures performed using older-generation endoscopy systems without TXI or RDI functionality. * Polyps that are pedunculated, invasive, or require surgical resection rather than EMR. * Patients unable or unwilling to provide consent for participation or video capture. * Known pregnancy at the time of procedure. * Patients incarcerated or under custodial supervision. * Inability to tolerate bowel preparation, sedation, or standard EMR procedure due to comorbid conditions. * Incomplete colonoscopy or procedure aborted prior to resection for any reason.
