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.
