Summary

This pilot trial will test a disposable endoscope in 40 adults undergoing POEM procedures for achalasia or gastroparesis. The goal is to see if the single-use scope works as well as standard reusable scopes, potentially reducing infection risk. All participants receive standard care, and the study is led by Baylor College of Medicine.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
disposable endoscope platform
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make POEM procedures safer and more accessible by reducing infection risks from reusable scopes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study (40 people) at one hospital. The disposable scope may not work as well as standard scopes, and results may not apply to other centers.
