Study Summary

This trial is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of a new medical system called the ELS System. The ELS System is used in transanal endoluminal procedures, which are procedures that are performed through the anus and involve the rectum and distal colon (the last part of the colon). The trial will be conducted at multiple centers and will involve training surgeons and their teams to use the ELS System.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 22-80 with a BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2 and an ASA score ≤ 3, who have benign rectal lesions like adenomas or polyps that are no larger than 7 cm and located within 17 cm of the anal verge. Participants must not be on blood thinners that can't be stopped before surgery, have untreated infections, cancerous lesions, severe illnesses, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of colorectal cancer treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of the ColubrisMX Endoluminal Surgical (ELS) System in removing rectal lesions without full surgery. It's also checking how well surgeons can learn to use this system. The ELS System will be used in transanal endoluminal procedures up to a certain distance from the anal opening.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, potential risks may include typical surgical complications such as infection at the site of surgery, bleeding during or after procedure, pain associated with recovery and possible damage to surrounding tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who qualifies for participation in this clinical trial?

"To join this clinical trial, participants should have adenoma and be between the ages of 22 to 80 years old. The research team is seeking 26 individuals for their study."

Answered by AI

Are there any current openings for participation in this trial?

"According to the details present on clinicaltrials.gov, recruitment for this particular medical trial has concluded. The study was first posted in mid-September 2020 and edited last at the end of August 2021-- however, there are still 95 other trials actively seeking participants."

Answered by AI

Does this research endeavor cater to participants younger than sixty?

"To participate in this medical trial, enrollees must be between 22 and 80 years old. Conversely, there are 8 studies that cater to minors under the age of 18 and 92 for elderly patients over 65."

Answered by AI

What objectives does this research endeavor seek to accomplish?

"This medical trial, which is slated to last around 30 days, will principally evaluate the Complication-Free Rate (CFR) of patients. The secondary endpoints are Adverse Events (AE), Conversion-Free Rate (CFR), and Disease Free Survival rate for subjects with a cancer diagnosis only. Data concerning AE severity and its relation to the study drug will be collected pre-, post-, during treatment; each adverse event shall be classified from mild to life threatening in scope. Finally, Cancer survivors' 5 year follow up according to NCCN rectal cancer guidelines should give us an estimate of Disease Free Survival%."
