Endoscopic treatment for Zenker’s diverticulum symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at an endoscopic (camera-based) procedure to help symptoms from Zenker’s diverticulum, which is a swallowing-related pouch. If you have symptoms and you’re not pregnant or breastfeeding, this study may be worth considering.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptomatic Zenker’s diverticulum (trouble swallowing and related symptoms)
- You are planned to be treated with an endoscopic procedure (using a camera to reach the area)
- You are not pregnant
- You are not breastfeeding

This trial is testing a new endoscopic procedure to treat a throat pouch (Zenker's diverticulum) that causes swallowing problems. If the procedure works, it may ease your symptoms and help you eat and drink more comfortably.
This trial studies people with Zenker’s diverticulum (or a related condition called CP bar) in the throat and upper food pipe. It looks at outcomes when the “shared wall” is divided using an open or endoscopic approach, or when surgery isn’t possible but follow-up can happen.
This study keeps a record of people who choose an advanced endoscopy procedure (like ESD, EMR, advanced polypectomy, POEM, or treatment for Zenker’s). It aims to learn about real-world outcomes and safety, which may help improve care for future patients.
This trial looks at people (18 or older) who already had a digestive tract tumor removed using an endoscopy procedure. It may help doctors learn how this approach works and what outcomes to expect after removal.
This study looks at endoscopic submucosal dissection, a procedure to remove early growths in the stomach or other parts of the GI tract, using the UK approach. You may benefit by having your treatment guided within a research study and closer follow-up.
This trial tests MBK-01, capsules made from healthy gut bacteria, to see if they can help people who keep getting diverticulitis. If you've had three or more bouts in the last three years, this study might offer a new treatment option.
