Comparing two ways to bypass cancer-caused stomach blockage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to bypass a stomach or intestinal blockage caused by cancer that cannot be cured with surgery. It tests a newer, less invasive procedure (endoscopic gastroenterostomy) against the standard surgical bypass (gastrojejunostomy) to see which works better for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have cancer confirmed by biopsy.
- Surgery is not an option to cure your cancer.
- You have a tumor blocking the stomach or upper small intestine (pylorus or duodenum).
- You are not pregnant and have no severe liver disease, low blood counts, or other conditions that would make surgery risky.

This study compares two ways to help with gastric outlet obstruction (a blockage in the stomach or small intestine) caused by a tumor. It tests if a procedure using an endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a camera) is as good as surgery to help you eat and drink more comfortably.
This trial compares two ways to bypass a blockage in your stomach caused by cancer near the pancreas or duodenum. Both approaches create a new connection so food can pass through, but one uses a camera-guided tube (endoscopic) and the other is surgical. The study will see which works better for your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial compares two ways to treat blockage at the end of the stomach caused by cancer: a stent (a small metal tube) or a newer endoscopic bypass. The goal is to see which works better for patients who cannot have surgery.
This trial compares two surgical methods to bypass a blocked stomach outlet caused by advanced stomach cancer, helping patients eat and digest food more easily. It aims to see which operation gives better relief with fewer complications.
This trial compares three ways to relieve a stomach or duodenal blockage caused by pancreatic cancer: placing a stent, performing a bypass with a thin tube (endoscopy), or surgical bypass. It aims to find which option helps patients eat and feel better sooner.
This nationwide registry follows people with a blocked stomach outlet (gastric outlet obstruction) to see how an endoscopic ultrasound-guided “bypass” procedure works in real life. It may help your care team understand which patients benefit and how safely the procedure can be done.
