New scope procedure vs. surgery for stomach blockage: which is safer?
NCT ID NCT06128018
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two procedures to treat stomach blockage caused by cancer: a newer method using an endoscope (EUS-GJ) and traditional surgery (S-GJ). The goal is to see which is safer and works better. About 70 adults with advanced cancer will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the endoscopic procedure is safer and just as effective as surgery for relieving stomach blockage in cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures carry risks like infection or bleeding.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Radiographic OR Endoscopic evidence of an obstructing neoplasm in the distal stomach or duodenum. 3. GOOSS of 0 or 1 4. BOTH surgical and endoscopic GJ are technically and clinically feasible 5. Can understand and is willing to sign informed consent form prior to the initiation of any study procedures (or when applicable the subject's LAR). Exclusion Criteria: 1. \< 18 years of age 2. ECOG \>2 3. Expected survival (determined by the treating oncologist) is less than 2 months. 4. Candidates for potential resection of the cancer and obstructed anatomical area (this includes patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer) 5. Peritoneal carcinomatosis with associated bowel obstruction on imaging or during laparoscopy 6. Large volume ascites (patients with moderate volume ascites may undergo IR guided drainage prior to randomization) 7. Anatomical factors that technically hinder EUS-GJ OR Surgical-GJ (diffuse tumor involvement in path of LAMS or surgery, surgically altered anatomy that interferes with the ability to perform an anastomosis etc) 8.
