Gastric Outlet Obstruction study: Magnet System
Official title GT Metabolic Magnet System in Adults With Gastrointestinal Disorders
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07317076
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether the GT Metabolic Magnet System can safely create a side‑to‑side connection in the stomach or small bowel for people with blockages.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are an adult with gastric outlet obstruction, small bowel obstruction, or superior mesenteric artery syndrome and need a surgical connection.
- What's involved
- You will receive the magnet system to join the bowel or stomach. The procedure is done by a surgeon and you will have follow‑up visits to check how it works and if it is safe.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until the follow‑up visits after the surgery, which may be several weeks to months, and you will need to attend those appointments.
