Speedboat UltraSlim in POEM for swallowing disorders
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a new device called Speedboat UltraSlim™ during a procedure called POEM (per-oral endoscopic myotomy), which is used to treat achalasia and other swallowing disorders. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well for people already scheduled for this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with achalasia or another condition that affects how your esophagus moves food (called an esophageal motility disorder).
- You must already be scheduled for a procedure called per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) — a surgery done through a scope in your mouth — and this study will use a special device called Speedboat UltraSlim during that procedure.
- You must be able and willing to sign a consent form agreeing to participate in the study.
- Your doctor must consider you a suitable candidate for the POEM procedure.

This trial is testing a new disposable endoscope to see if it works well for procedures that treat swallowing or digestive problems. If you need this type of procedure, the new scope could be an option.
This trial studies how well POEM and other endoscopy-based (through-the mouth) treatments work for conditions like acid reflux, achalasia (trouble moving food), and Barrett’s esophagus. It may help doctors compare outcomes and choose the safest, most effective procedure for your situation.
This trial looks at people who had a procedure called POEM for achalasia and want to understand outcomes after that treatment. If you’re an adult and already had POEM for achalasia, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new tool (SpydrBlade) during a procedure called POEM to help people with swallowing problems like achalasia. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well.
This study looks at how useful the POEM procedure is for people with gut “motility” (trouble moving food through the digestive tract). If you’re already scheduled for POEM, your team will also track how well it helps and whether it’s practical in real care.
This is a study that collects information in a research database for adults with achalasia who are referred for POEM, a procedure to help food move more easily. It may help researchers understand outcomes and care for people with achalasia.
