New device for closing holes in the gut during endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new disposable device used during an endoscopy to close holes, leaks, or bleeding spots in the stomach or intestines. It may help patients who need a quick, safe closure without open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must need a doctor to close a hole or bleeding spot in your stomach or intestines that is 5 cm or smaller during an endoscopy.
- Your overall health must be stable enough for the procedure—no severe bleeding disorders, organ failure, or uncontrolled shock.
- You cannot be on strong blood thinners (like warfarin or newer anticoagulants) within 7 days before the procedure, unless you can safely stop or switch medications.
- You must not be allergic to the metals or plastics in the device, or to the sedation medicines used.
- You must be willing to follow up with the study team for 30 days after the procedure.

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 trial is testing a single-use stapler that doctors use during surgery to cut and reconnect tissues like the lung, stomach, or intestines. It aims to see how well it works in real-world use after it has been approved.
This study uses a new stapler designed for endoscopic surgery to see how well it works. It helps surgeons cut and close tissue during procedures like lung or stomach surgery.
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.
