Testing a special endoscopy clip to close tissue openings
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are already scheduled for a routine endoscopy where a clip closure is clinically needed.
- Your planned endoscopy is for one of these: stopping bleeding, sealing a perforation or fistula, or bringing tissue edges together after tissue removal (like mucosal resection or submucosal dissection) or certain “third-space” procedures (like peroral endoscopic myotomy).
- A doctor must not have told you that endoscopy is unsafe for you (no endoscopy contraindications).
- You must not be enrolled in another research study that could affect the results of this one.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial tests whether placing small clips at the site of polyp removal in the colon can reduce bleeding in patients who take blood thinners afterwards.
This trial tests a new two-tooth clip device designed to help doctors safely remove small gastrointestinal tumors (GISTs) from the stomach using endoscopy—a thin camera inserted through the mouth. The clip may make the removal procedure easier and safer.
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 follows patients having endoscopic (keyhole) surgery to see how well a new disposable stapler works and how safe it is. If you are having general or chest surgery, this study may help track the device's performance in real-world use.
