Closing device for gastrointestinal tissue defects
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a disposable device that closes holes or tears in the stomach or intestines during an endoscopic procedure. It may help stop bleeding, seal fistulas, or repair perforations, potentially avoiding the need for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hole, tear, bleeding spot, or other defect in your stomach or intestines that is 50 mm or smaller and needs to be closed during an endoscopy.
- You are healthy enough for the procedure, with no severe bleeding or clotting problems that cannot be corrected.
- You are not taking blood thinners (like warfarin or Xarelto) or certain antiplatelet drugs (like Plavix) within 7 days before the procedure, unless you can safely stop them or use bridging therapy.
- You are not allergic to surgical stainless steel, polypropylene, or the sedatives used for endoscopy.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to complete a 30-day follow-up and have an expected survival of more than 6 months.

This study tests whether a new kind of endoscopy clip (a dual-action clip) works well to close openings or gaps seen during routine endoscopic procedures. It may help control bleeding, seal perforations or fistulas, or bring tissue edges together after certain stomach or throat procedures.
This trial tests a special stitching tool to close holes in the stomach after removing abnormal growths. It may help patients heal better after a routine procedure to remove suspicious tissue.
This study checks whether an endoscopy technique that brings tissue together safely closes several types of internal openings (like perforations or surgical leaks/defects). It also looks at whether the closures work well and have acceptable side effects.
This study tests a new method for closing wounds in the stomach after removing abnormal tissue during an endoscopy. It may help people with stomach lesions heal better and reduce risks, but it is still being studied for safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests a device that helps close the puncture site in your leg after certain heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to reduce bleeding and speed up recovery.
This trial studies a procedure called endoscopic treatment to stop bleeding in the upper digestive tract. It may help stop active bleeding and reduce the chance of bleeding again.
