About this trial

The goal of this study is to perform a randomized trial to compare a new through-the-scope suturing system and conventional clips for closure of defect after ESD for 30-60 mm colonic polyps. More precisely, the hypothesis posits that the new through-the-scope suturing system can achieve higher complete closure rates in a shorter time in comparison to conventional clips.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient suffering from 30-60 mm colonic polyps with indication of ESD

Male or female patients aged > 18 years' old

Patients able to fill in questionnaires written in Italian

Disqualifiers

Failure of endoscopic resection

Suspicion of deep submucosal cancer by analysis of pit pattern (KUDO Vn)

Polyp involving the appendix deeply (type 2 or 3 according to Toyonaga classification)

Polyp inside the ileo-cecal valvula.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TTS suturing system

    Device

    The use of TTS suturing system could allow a quick, complete endoscopic closure of colonic post-ESD defects, providing relevant clinical and medico-economic benefits.

Treatment groups

66 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: ESD with clipsNo intervention 0 interventions
Group B: TTS suturing systemExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Compare the proportion of complete closure between the two groups

To assess the proportion of complete closure, defined when opposite margins are drawn together without a persistent post-resection defect of more than 1 cm (pictures and/or videos)

Time frame
Intra-procedural

Secondary outcomes

1

duration of the closure procedure

To assess the closure procedure time, which is defined by duration between the beginning of assemblage of the suturing system and the end of the closure in the intervention group and between the opening of the bag of the first clip until the end of the closure in the control group.(pictures-videos)

Time frame
up to 2 hours

Other outcomes

1

Proportion of post-polypectomy syndrome

To assess, it will compare the proportion between the 2 groups of post-polypectomy syndrome at Day 7

Time frame
1 week
2

Proportion of clinically significant delayed bleeding

Compare and assess the proportion of clinically significant delayed bleeding at 1 month

Time frame
1 month
3

Cost-effectiveness ratio

To assess the cost-effectiveness ratio, estimated by dividing the difference in costs observed between the two strategies by the difference of effectiveness at 1 month. The effectiveness criterion being the closure time at 1 month

Time frame
1 month
4

Length of hospitalization

To compare the length of hospitalization defined as the number of procedural nights in the hospitals

Time frame
up to 1 week
