NCT05545787

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority, multiple-center trial. Outpatients who are scheduled to undergo colonoscopy and found eligible polyps will be randomized to receive either cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR) or hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (HS-EMR). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of CS-EMR or HS-EMR for the resection of non-pedunculated colorectal polyps sized 10-19mm.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete resection rate

    The resection is considered histologically complete if the lateral margins of the resected polyps are surrounded by normal tissue and the vertical margin is free of neoplasia tissue. If en-bloc resection is not achieved, 5 biopsies (4 biopsies obtained in a 4-quadrant fashion from the polypectomy site margins; 1 biopsy from the base) are applied to evaluate histological completeness of resection.

    Within 14 days

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • En-bloc resection rate

    Within 1 day

  • Intraprocedural bleeding

    Within 1 day

  • Intraprocedural perforation

    Within 1 day

  • Delayed bleeding

    Within 14 days

  • Delayed perforation

    Within 14 days

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible colorectal polyps sized 10-19mm will be resected by CS-EMR

Procedure: Cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection

Hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (HS-EMR)

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible colorectal polyps sized 10-19mm will be resected by HS-EMR

Procedure: Hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection

Interventions

During CS-EMR, methylene blue-tinted epinephrine saline will be injected into the submucosal space around the lesion to lift the lesion. The polyp and 1-2mm of surrounding mucosa will then be closely snared and transected mechanically.

Cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR)

During HS-EMR, methylene blue-tinted epinephrine saline will be injected into the submucosal space around the lesion to lift the lesion. The snare will be placed around the lesion, and then cautery will be applied using the electrosurgical generator.
