Tested an endoscopy method to close internal tissue openings
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks whether an endoscopy technique that brings tissue together safely closes several types of internal openings (like perforations or surgical leaks/defects). It also looks at whether the closures work well and have acceptable side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older and have an endoscopy planned for a closure-related problem
- The reason for your endoscopy must be one of these: closing a perforation, full-thickness defect, post-resection defect, mucosotomy after POEM, fistula closure, or similar defect-closure situations
- You must be able and willing to give informed consent for the study
- You must not be pregnant
- Your blood clotting must be safe (INR 1.8 or less, platelets 50,000 or higher)
- You must not have ongoing GI bleeding, severe unstable blood pressure/heart status, or be enrolled in another study of a device/drug that could affect results

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-surgical procedure called Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) to help people with obesity lose weight. A doctor uses a thin tube with a camera to stitch your stomach smaller, so you feel full sooner.
This trial tests a disposable device that closes holes or tears in the stomach or intestines during an endoscopic procedure. It may help stop bleeding, seal fistulas, or repair perforations, potentially avoiding the need for surgery.
This study tests whether a new kind of endoscopy clip (a dual-action clip) works well to close openings or gaps seen during routine endoscopic procedures. It may help control bleeding, seal perforations or fistulas, or bring tissue edges together after certain stomach or throat procedures.
This trial tests a special stitching tool to close holes in the stomach after removing abnormal growths. It may help patients heal better after a routine procedure to remove suspicious tissue.
This study tracks people with obesity who get an endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a procedure that reduces stomach size without surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is in everyday practice.
This study tests a new method for closing wounds in the stomach after removing abnormal tissue during an endoscopy. It may help people with stomach lesions heal better and reduce risks, but it is still being studied for safety and effectiveness.
