NCT ID NCT06915337

First seen Nov 14, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study is testing a new device that uses magnets to create a connection between the stomach and the small intestine during surgery. The device is placed using minimally invasive tools like a laparoscope or endoscope. The goal is to see if it can safely and effectively create this connection without the need for a second surgery. The trial will enroll 75 adults who are already scheduled for gastric surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Flexagon Self-Forming Magnet (SFM) device and OTOLoc access device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a less invasive way to create connections in the digestive tract during surgery, potentially reducing complications and recovery time.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device could fail to create a proper connection or cause complications requiring additional surgery.
