Study of a tube procedure for a blocked colon
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a tube (stent) procedure to open a blocked part of the colon (large intestine) in people who are very sick. The goal is to see if it can safely relieve the blockage and avoid emergency surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be diagnosed with a blocked colon (large intestine) due to a tumor.
- You need to be able to undergo the stent placement procedure.
- You should not have other serious health issues that make the procedure unsafe.
- You may need to be free of active infections or recent major surgeries.

This trial studies treatment choices for adults with a large-bowel blockage caused by colon cancer. It compares doing an emergency procedure now (like a stent or stoma) versus bridging to a later colon surgery, to see which approach is safer and works better.
This trial tests a procedure using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to fix a narrowing (stenosis) where the colon is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It may help people who have trouble with bowel movements due to this narrowing.
This study compares two procedures—endoscopic stricturotomy and balloon dilation—to treat a narrowed section (stricture) in the small bowel caused by Crohn's disease. If you have a partial blockage, this trial aims to see which procedure is better at safely opening the bowel.
This trial studies whether using contrast dye (a special substance seen on scans) helps in treating people with a specific type of small-bowel blockage. It may help doctors make better decisions without needing emergency surgery.
This trial tests a new flexible tube that becomes stiff to help doctors remove large or complex colon lesions during an endoscopic procedure. It may help people with certain types of flat or scarred growths that are harder to remove safely.
This study looks at how hospitals treat people with a blockage in the large bowel (the last part of the intestines) and what happens to them. It may help improve care for this serious condition.
