NCT ID NCT06170619
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well a gel-like material called Obsidio works to block blood vessels in people with hypervascular tumors or bleeding. 125 adults were treated, and researchers checked if the vessels were successfully blocked and if there were any serious side effects within 30 days. The goal was to confirm the device is safe and effective in real-world use.
