Testing a specific stomach-esophagus connection method after esophagus surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a particular circular stapled connection between the esophagus and stomach is safe and works well after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for certain lower esophagus cancers. It may help surgeons improve how the connection is made during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old and can sign consent before any study steps
- You have a lower esophagus cancer (up to Siewert II) and are planned for elective minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy
- During surgery, the study needs an intrathoracic circular stapled esophagogastric connection to be made
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must not have had previous esophagus or stomach surgery
- Your blood counts/medicines must allow blood testing (including no Avastin in the last 30 days and no inability to stop certain blood-thinning medicines)

This trial studies blood-based biomarkers to help doctors choose the best individualized surgical treatment for gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. If you qualify, you’ll get standard care plus additional testing to see whether the blood results can guide surgery more precisely.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether using an antibiotic decolonization treatment around the time of esophagus surgery can reduce serious infections afterward. It may help you lower the risk of postoperative infectious complications after curative esophagectomy or esophagus reconstruction.
This study follows people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus (esophagectomy) who are at higher risk for a leak where the esophagus is reconnected. The goal is to learn more about who develops leaks and how to prevent them.
This study compares ways to check the edges of removed tissue during surgery for a type of stomach and esophagus cancer. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed, which may help lower the chance of cancer coming back.
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
This trial tests a specific surgical technique (Billroth II with Braun anastomosis) for people with stomach cancer that can be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and outcomes for patients who are well enough for surgery.
