About this trial
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel two-tooth endoscopic clip, utilized in a "clip with line" traction configuration, during endoscopic resection procedures (ESD and EFTR) of GIST. The novel clip's dual-tooth design is intended to provide a more secure anchor on the lesion, enabling effective counter-traction when combined with a line. The primary aim is to determine if this method improves submucosal dissection efficiency compared to conventional ESD. A secondary aim is to evaluate the performance of the same clip system for full-thickness or mucosal defect closure.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 85 years.
Patients diagnosed with gastric gastrointestinal lesions clinically indicated for ESD or EFTR.
Lesion size between 2 cm and 5 cm in diameter.
Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
Disqualifiers
Lesions with clear evidence of deep submucosal invasion or distant metastasis precluding curative endoscopic resection.
Severe coagulation dysfunction (international normalized ratio >2.0, platelet count <50,000/µL) or ongoing use of dual antiplatelet therapy/anticoagulants that cannot be appropriately bridged or discontinued per guidelines.
Severe organ failure (cardiac, renal, hepatic, or respiratory) rendering the patient unsuitable for prolonged sedation or general anesthesia.
Pregnancy or lactation.

Treatments tested in this trial
A Novel Two-Tooth Endoscopic Clip
Device"Clip with line" traction method with the novel two-tooth clip will be applied in patients undergoing ESD or EFTR. After lesion retrieval, defects requiring closure will be managed using the same novel two-tooth clips.
Clip
DeviceStandard ESD or EFTR without the use of dedicated traction devices will be performed, then using the standard clips for closure.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Submucosal Dissection Efficiency
The rate of submucosal dissection (measured in mm²/min), calculated from the start of submucosal entry to the completion of lesion removal.
Secondary outcomes
Technical Success Rate of Purse-String Closure
Percentage of cases where complete, circumferential mucosal/full-thickness defect closure is achieved using the novel two-tooth clip without conversion to alternative closure devices.
Incidence of Intraoperative Adverse Events
* Rates of immediate perforation (unintended) in both groups during the dissection phase * Rates of significant active bleeding requiring emergency hemostasis (aside from planned vessel coagulation) in both groups during the dissection phase * Rates of muscularis injury in both groups during the dissection phase
Defect Closure Time
Time taken to achieve complete purse-string closure of the post-resection defect.
Post-procedural Outcomes
* Rates of delayed bleeding within 90 days * Rates of delayed perforation within 90 days * Rates of post-polypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome within 90 days
