NCT ID NCT07230379
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 29, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests if a new, non-surgical treatment called ERAT works as well as standard surgery for mild appendicitis. ERAT uses a flexible tube through the colon to clear the appendix blockage without removing it. About 376 adults with first-time mild appendicitis will be randomly assigned to either ERAT or surgery, then followed for a year to see if the infection comes back.
