New scope procedure vs. surgery: which unblocks the stomach faster?
NCT ID NCT05561907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a newer, less invasive endoscopic procedure to standard surgery for treating gastric outlet obstruction, a blockage that prevents food from leaving the stomach. The trial will enroll 32 adults with advanced cancers causing this blockage. The main goal is to see which approach allows patients to start eating solid foods sooner without symptoms like vomiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (EGJ) and surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ)
What this could lead to
If successful, the endoscopic approach could offer a less invasive way to quickly restore the ability to eat solid foods, improving nutrition and quality of life for people with advanced cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding or infection, and the endoscopic method is newer with less long-term data.
