Evaluation of EverLift in the Performance of Polypectomy for Polyps 4-9mm
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of submucosal injection of EverLift in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps 4-9mm during colonoscopy.

Detailed Description
The details of the proposed study are as follows:
-
Experimental group: using EverLift submucosal injection for polyps 4-9mm of the colon
-
Control group: not using EverLift submucosal injection for polyps 4-9mm of the colon
-
Methods:
-
Colonoscopy will be performed in the same standard of care manner as if no study was taking place.
-
If polyps 4-9mm are identified, the endoscopist is randomized to performing polypectomy with or without submucosal injection of EverLift.
-
After removal of the polypectomy, two biopsies are performed at the margin of the polypectomy site to identify residual lesion.
-
The polyp as well as well as the two biopsies are reviewed by a pathologist.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: With EverLift Polypectomy performed for polyps 4-9mm with submucosal injection of EverLift. |
Device: Use of EverLift
Use of EverLift for submucosal injection prior to polypectomy
|
Experimental: Without EverLift Polypectomy performed for polyps 4-9mm without submucosal injection of EverLift. |
Device: Without use of EverLift
Without use of EverLift for submucosal injection prior to polypectomy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Completeness of resection [2 weeks]
The primary outcome measured is comparison of completeness of resection between the with EverLift and without EverLift groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to resection [During the procedure]
The time between the snare is introduced till the polyp is removed and retrieved will be compared between the with and without EverLift groups.
- We will compare the number of snare attempts needed to remove the tissue adequately to the endoscopist's judgment [During the procedure]
- Complications [4 weeks]
We will compare rates of complications including perforation and immediate post-polypectomy bleeding, early post-polypectomy bleed (within 24 hours) and delayed post polypectomy bleed (between 24 hours and 30 days). Early post-polypectomy bleed and delayed post-polypectomy bleed is evaluated based on emergency room (ER) visit, inpatient stay, transfusion needed, repeat colonoscopy required, surgical intervention required, and mortality.
