Magnets in the gut: a new way to treat diabetes?

NCT ID NCT07350967

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new magnetic device that creates a shortcut in the small intestine, aiming to help control type 2 diabetes and weight. Only 5 people will take part to see if the procedure is safe and feasible. It is an early-stage trial, so the main goal is to check if the magnets can be placed correctly and form a lasting connection without major surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Magnetic compression anastomosis device (EMMIT System)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a less invasive, reversible way to help control type 2 diabetes and weight without traditional surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a tiny early study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply widely. The device could fail to form a proper connection or require surgical removal.
