Closing stomach defects with a stitching device
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You need a procedure to remove a growth from the stomach lining (EMR or ESD)
- Your doctor thinks closing the removal site would be beneficial
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 40
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study

This study tests a new way to perform ESD, a minimally invasive procedure to remove early-stage cancers or polyps from the digestive tract. The goal is to see if this new method is safer and more effective than the standard approach.
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 trial tests a new disposable device used during an endoscopy to close holes, leaks, or bleeding spots in the stomach or intestines. It may help patients who need a quick, safe closure without open 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 compares two surgical approaches after radical gastrectomy—whether to close a small defect in the mesentery (the tissue that holds the intestines) or leave it alone. It aims to see which method is safer and helps patients recover better in stomach/near-esophagus (esophagogastric junction) cancer.
This study looks at early stomach cancer treated with ESD, a procedure to remove the tumor through the stomach lining, and how the depth of the scar relates to healing. It may help doctors predict better outcomes and improve the procedure for suitable patients.
