Stomach splitting vs standard bypass for gastric outlet blockage
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical procedures to relieve stomach blockage caused by advanced stomach cancer that cannot be removed. The goal is to find which method better helps patients eat and improves quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have advanced stomach cancer that has spread and is causing a blockage in the stomach outlet.
- Your cancer has not been treated with any anticancer therapy yet.
- You are generally able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0-2) and are fit for surgery (ASA class I-III).
- You do not have other serious illnesses like heart disease, active infections, or another cancer in the last 5 years.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing to follow the study plan.

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 compares two surgical methods to bypass a blocked stomach outlet caused by advanced stomach cancer, helping patients eat and digest food more easily. It aims to see which operation gives better relief with fewer complications.
This trial compares three ways to relieve a stomach or duodenal blockage caused by pancreatic cancer: placing a stent, performing a bypass with a thin tube (endoscopy), or surgical bypass. It aims to find which option helps patients eat and feel better sooner.
This study compares two ways to reconnect the digestive system after removing the lower part of the stomach for early-stage stomach cancer. The aim is to see if adding a small bypass (Braun anastomosis) reduces bile reflux and improves quality of life after surgery.
This study compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
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.
