A Clip Tool for Removing Small Stomach Growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new two-tooth clip device designed to help doctors safely remove small gastrointestinal tumors (GISTs) from the stomach using endoscopy—a thin camera inserted through the mouth. The clip may make the removal procedure easier and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have a stomach growth (GIST) that is 2–5 cm in size and needs endoscopic removal
- The growth has not spread deeply into the stomach wall or to distant organs
- You do not have severe bleeding problems or take blood thinners that cannot be paused
- Your heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs are healthy enough for anesthesia
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests a new surgical approach combining laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery with endoscopy (a camera procedure) to remove small tumors located where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to safely remove these tumors while preserving normal function.
This trial compares two ways to take a tissue sample from stomach tumors before surgery to see which works better. The results may help doctors choose the best method for patients.
This trial compares two endoscopic techniques (EFTR and STER) for removing small to medium-sized GIST tumors from the stomach wall. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective.
This trial tests a special device that helps doctors remove large or tricky growths from the colon or stomach during a procedure called ESD. It may be an option if you have a growth that could not be removed before, is a certain size, or looks like it might be growing deeper.
This trial tests the safety of using a robot to remove small stomach tumors (GISTs) that are in hard-to-reach places. It aims to see if robotic surgery is a good option for you.
This trial studies whether doing laparoscopic surgery for stomach GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) works and is safe when the tumor is in a “favorable” versus “unfavorable” location. You might be eligible if your tumor is confirmed as GIST and doctors expect to remove it completely using keyhole surgery.
