New clip tested in 250 patients to seal gut bleeds and tears
NCT ID NCT05852457
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks how well a device called the DAT clip works during routine endoscopy to stop bleeding, close perforations (holes), or treat fistulas (abnormal connections) in the digestive tract. Researchers will record data from 250 adults who need this clip as part of their standard care. The main goal is to see how often the clip fully closes the target area.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DAT clip (a medical device used during endoscopy to close holes or stop bleeding)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the DAT clip is a reliable tool for managing common GI emergencies like bleeding or perforations during routine procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove the clip is better than other methods. Success depends on the skill of the doctor and the specific case.
