Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the GripTract GI Endoscopic Tissue Manipulator to the current standard of care for complex polypectomies in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does the number and severity of Device-Attributable Adverse Events compare to the current standard of care? 2. How is the procedure time affected? 3. Is the ability to resect the tissue en bloc affected? 4. What is the user feedback on the device performance?

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total Number of Device-Attributable Major Adverse EventsEnrollment to 30 daysSubjects will receive follow-ups at 24 hrs, 72 hours, and 30 days post intervention to monitor adverse events. Major adverse events are those that necessitate non-endoscopic intervention.
Total Number of Device-Attributable Minor Adverse EventsEnrollment to 30 daysSubjects will receive follow-ups at 24 hrs, 72 hrs, and 30 days post intervention to monitor adverse events. Minor adverse events are those that can be successfully addressed endoscopically.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total Intervention Time4 hoursTotal Intervention Time from the start of submucosal injection through the end of dissection.
Dissection Time3 hoursTime from first incision of polyp removal (following circumferential incision) through end of polyp removal.
Area of tissue removed4 hoursDimensional measurement of resected tissue
En bloc removal4 hoursClinician peforming procedure provides a binary score: lesion removed en bloc, or lesion NOT removed en bloc
Average Physician Feedback Score4 hoursAverage score (Likert scale, 0-10) from seven different grading elements comparing the use of GripTract to the standard of care.
