First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study is testing a minimally invasive weight loss procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in 12 people who have both obesity and ulcerative colitis and are planning or have had colon removal surgery. The procedure uses a suturing device to reduce stomach size by 70-80%, and participants also follow a personalized low-calorie diet and exercise plan. The goal is to see if ESG is safe and effective for weight loss in this specific group.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) using the Apollo Endoscopic Suture System, plus a personalized low-calorie diet and physical activity plan
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe weight-loss option for obese UC patients before or after colon removal surgery, potentially reducing surgical complications.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (12 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or infection, and weight loss may not be sustained.
