Laser-based sizing of GI lesions during endoscopies

Official title: Lesion Size Measurement During Gastrointestinal Endoscopies

Run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) · NCT07770425 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether the AccuMeasure laser tool gives more accurate and reliable lesion size measurements during colonoscopies for adults with colon polyps or Crohn’s disease than traditional endoscopic estimates.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) undergoing GI endoscopy at CHUM who consent to participate.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose lesion measurements do not show improved accuracy or who do not benefit from the technology’s readings may not experience direct advantages.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study compares laser-based measurements from AccuMeasure with traditional visual estimates and other endoscopic measurements taken during standard colonoscopies. Participants are adults undergoing GI endoscopy at CHUM, with data collected by board-certified gastroenterologists or supervised trainees. Lesion sizes will be categorized into six groups to capture a range of inflammatory and non-inflammatory GI lesions. The study also looks at how AccuMeasure readings relate to clinical endpoints such as endoscopic subscores, symptom remission measures, and fecal calprotectin levels. No changes to routine care are required for participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, AccuMeasure could improve the precision of lesion sizing during endoscopy, potentially aiding decision-making and monitoring of GI diseases.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work with laser-based measurement tools has shown promise in accuracy, but this study will provide disease- and lesion-type specific data in routine endoscopy.
