Magnetic device study for stomach and bowel blockages
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new magnetic device that creates a connection between parts of your stomach or small intestine without needing stitches, for people with certain blockages or digestive issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these three conditions: SMAS, gastric outlet obstruction, or partial small bowel obstruction.

- If you could become pregnant, you agree to use birth control and not become pregnant during the study.
- You cannot have other planned stomach or bowel surgeries during the study.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or certain metal implants that might be affected by the magnetic device.

This study tests a new magnetic device system to treat gastric outlet obstruction—a blockage that prevents food from leaving your stomach. Instead of traditional surgery, the device uses magnetic compression to create a new passage for food to pass through.
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 is testing a new way to connect parts of the large or small intestine using magnets instead of staples or stitches. It may help people who need certain types of colon or rectal surgery recover with less pain and fewer complications.
This study uses a special magnet system to connect different parts of the small intestine without additional surgeries. It tests how well the magnets help create these connections in people who need this procedure.
This study tests a new way to connect your stomach to your small intestine during gastric surgery using a special magnetic device. It may help people who need this type of surgery, but you must meet certain health and location requirements.
This trial tests a new magnet device to connect sections of the colon after surgery. It may be an option for people who need part of their colon removed and are otherwise in good health.
