Summary

This study tests a special stent placed using an endoscope to connect the stomach to the small intestine in people whose stomach is blocked by advanced cancer. The goal is to help them eat and drink more easily without major surgery. The study plans to enroll 67 participants and will check how safe and effective the stent is over 30 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: AXIOS stent (a tube placed via endoscopy to connect the stomach to the small intestine)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer a less invasive way to help people with advanced cancer eat and drink again by relieving stomach blockages.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study (67 people) and is currently suspended. The stent may cause serious side effects like infection or bleeding, and it may not work for everyone.
