Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 or older with BMI 20–40 who are referred for EMR or ESD of a gastric neoplastic lesion and judged by the endoscopist to be candidates for endoscopic defect closure are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant coagulation problems, low platelets or high INR, connective tissue disorders, ascites, varices, those on required anticoagulation (other than aspirin), pregnant patients, or those with limited life expectancy are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label study at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center enrolling up to 25 adults referred for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastric neoplastic lesions. After lesion removal, the Su2ura® GI system is inserted through the gastroscope, T-Tag anchors are deployed in a predefined pattern to achieve full-thickness tissue approximation, and the suture is secured with the Su2ura® Knot device. The study focuses on safety endpoints including incomplete closure, bleeding, infection, leakage, and device-related adverse events with follow-up visits at discharge, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Total participation lasts up to about 6.5 months per patient.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the device could provide more reliable full-thickness closure after EMR/ESD and reduce leakage, bleeding, and infection at resection sites.

How similar studies have gone: Other endoscopic full-thickness closure and anchoring devices have shown promise for closing GI defects, but the Su2ura® system itself is relatively new with limited published clinical data.
