PulsENDO for diabetes and fatty liver
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new endoscopic procedure (pulsENDO) for people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease whose blood sugar remains high despite taking diabetes pills. It aims to see if this treatment can improve blood sugar control and liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two treatments for liver scarring in people with overweight or related health issues. One group follows a special diet with restricted eating times, while the other takes a combination of two medications (naltrexone and bupropion). It aims to see which approach better improves liver fibrosis.
This study tests a new procedure called pulsENDO, which is done in the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum) to help treat type 2 diabetes. It may be an option for people who were recently diagnosed and have good blood sugar control with little or no diabetes medication.
This trial tests a procedure that reshapes the stomach and treats the upper intestine to help control blood sugar and weight in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. It may be an option if you have a moderate to high need for metabolic surgery.
This study tests a procedure called pulsENDO therapy, which uses a device placed in the upper part of the gut during a scope procedure to try to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if this treatment can help lower HbA1c levels, which indicate blood sugar control, and possibly reduce the need for diabetes medications.
This trial studies whether an endoscopic (camera-guided) stomach tightening/suturing procedure plus standard diabetes care can improve health in people with type 2 diabetes and mild-to-moderate obesity. It compares this procedure to standard care alone to see which approach works better and is safe.
This trial tests a new way to treat type 2 diabetes by using a thin, flexible tube with a small band to gently tighten part of the stomach and intestine. It's for people with diabetes who are overweight and whose blood sugar isn't well controlled with pills alone.
