New scope procedure vs. surgery for stomach blockage: which is safer?

NCT ID NCT06128018

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two procedures to treat stomach blockage caused by cancer: a newer method using an endoscope (EUS-GJ) and traditional surgery (S-GJ). The goal is to see which is safer and works better. About 70 adults with advanced cancer will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that the endoscopic procedure is safer and just as effective as surgery for relieving stomach blockage in cancer patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures carry risks like infection or bleeding.
