Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate whether thermal ablation EMR with soft tip snare coagulation (STSC) reduces the recurrence rate of lateral spreading or sessile polyps ≥20mm compared to standard EMR.

Detailed description

Rationale: Lowering the EMR recurrence rate will potentially lead to fewer colonoscopies resulting in less additional costs, less compliance burdens and less exposure to possible procedure related risks. Objective: To investigate whether thermal ablation EMR with snare tip soft coagulation (STSC) reduces the recurrence rate of lateral spreading or sessile polyps ≥20mm compared to standard EMR. Study design: This study entails a patient-blinded multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial that will be conducted between January 2022 and May 2025 in 1 academic and 7 non-academic hospitals in The Netherlands and it will take place in the outpatient clinics of the participating centers. Study population: All patients aged ≥ 18 years with proven colorectal sessile of lateral spreading polyps (Paris classification 0-IIa/b/c, Is) with a diameter of ≥ 20mm requiring piecemeal resection with EMR are eligible for inclusion. Intervention: Snare tip soft coagulation of the entire EMR margin is a technique for the removal of potential residual adenoma. Main study endpoint: Polyp recurrence after 6 months follow up. Recurrence is evaluated histologically and endoscopically with biopsies taken during follow up colonoscopy.
