GelPOINT® Path-Assisted Endoscopic Removal of Colon and Rectal Polyps: A Feasibility and Safety Study

20 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Tara Keihanian, Baylor College of Medicine

GelPOINT® Path-Assisted Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Colorectal Polyps: A Feasibility and Safety Study

This prospective, single-center, observational feasibility and safety study will evaluate the use of the GelPOINT® Path transanal access platform during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the removal of colorectal polyps. The GelPOINT® Path system is designed to improve access, maintain stable insufflation, and enhance visualization during advanced endoscopic procedures.

The study will enroll adult patients undergoing ESD for eligible colorectal lesions. The primary objective is to evaluate the technical feasibility, procedural performance, and safety of GelPOINT® Path-assisted ESD. Procedural outcomes, including procedure speed, technical success, resection outcomes, and procedure-related adverse events, will be collected prospectively. Participants will receive standard clinical care and will be followed for approximately 4 weeks after the procedure to assess delayed adverse events.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an advanced endoscopic technique that enables en bloc removal of large or complex colorectal lesions while preserving the bowel and reducing the need for surgical resection. Despite its advantages, colorectal ESD remains technically demanding because of limited visualization, unstable luminal distension, and restricted instrument maneuverability, particularly in the distal colon and rectum.

The GelPOINT® Path transanal access platform has been widely used in transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) to provide stable insufflation and improved access for rectal procedures. This study will evaluate whether incorporating the GelPOINT® Path platform into colorectal ESD can improve procedural efficiency while maintaining the safety and effectiveness of standard ESD.

This is a prospective, single-center, observational feasibility and safety study enrolling approximately 30 adult patients undergoing ESD for eligible colorectal lesions. All procedures will be performed by experienced advanced endoscopists as part of routine clinical care. The use of the GelPOINT® Path platform will be determined by the treating physician according to standard clinical practice. No experimental therapeutic interventions or deviations from routine clinical management will occur.

Clinical, procedural, pathological, and follow-up data will be collected prospectively using standardized case report forms. Outcomes will include technical success, procedure time, dissection speed, en bloc resection, R0 resection, curative resection, device performance, operator workload, and intraprocedural and delayed adverse events. Participants will be followed for approximately 4 weeks after the procedure to evaluate post-procedural safety.

The findings from this study are expected to provide important feasibility and safety data regarding the use of the GelPOINT® Path platform as an adjunct to colorectal ESD and may help guide the design of future comparative studies evaluating its clinical effectiveness.
