About this trial

The objective of this clinical study is to assess the safety of the Su2ura® GI system when used for endoscopic suturing and soft-tissue approximation in patients referred for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastric neoplastic lesions.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Percentage of patients with incomplete closure. 2. Percentage of patients bleeding at closure site within 28 days from procedure. 3. Percentage of patients with infection at closure site within 28 days from procedure. 4. Percentage of patients with leakage within 72 hours from procedure. 5. Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADE) within 28 days from procedure. 6. Overall rates of Adverse Device Effect within 28 days from procedure.

Study includes 6 visits: Screening, Baseline/Surgery, Discharge and 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-surgery. The actual point of enrollment for each subject is considered the day of surgery. Total study duration is up to 6.5 months.

The patient will be admitted to the medical center on the day of the procedure or one day prior for preoperative preparation. Following tissue resection using one of the methods (ESD or EMR), suturing will be performed using the Su2ura® GI system.

Postoperatively, the patient will be transferred to the recovery area and then to the surgical ward for standard monitoring, with an expected one-night postoperative stay and discharge the following day.

Study follow-up visits will take place 4 weeks, 3 and 6 months post surgery.

Eligibility criteria

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Su2ura® GI system

    Device

    The Su2ura® GI handle is used to control tissue grasping, anchor deployment, and suture placement, enabling controlled full-thickness tissue approximation through sequential deployment of T-Tag Anchors in a predefined suturing pattern.

  • Physical Examination

    Diagnostic test

    The patient will undergo a standard physical examination by an authorized physician. The physician's evaluation will include diagnosis and documentation of any significant clinical abnormalities or diseases.

  • Vital Signs

    Diagnostic test

    Vital signs include blood pressure, pulse, temperature, body weight and height, BMI.

  • Blood Test-Hematology

    Diagnostic test

    All subjects will undergo Hematology blood tests. Blood Hematology and Biochemistry will include standard of care measurements. 5 ml of blood (equals to 1 spoon) will be taken for each test.

  • Blood Test-Biochemistry

    Diagnostic test

    All subjects will undergo Biochemistry blood tests. Blood Hematology and Biochemistry will include standard of care measurements. 5 ml of blood (equals to 1 spoon) will be taken for each test.

  • Urine Pregnancy Test

    Diagnostic test

    Women with child-bearing potential will undergo a urine pregnancy test during the screening visit.

  • Gastroscopy

    Diagnostic test

    During visit 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days after procedure) a gastroscopy examination will be performed, to negate local recurrence. The examination will be performed as accepted, with a gastroscope with an NBI/BLI optical filter. Biopsies will be sampled as needed, at a gastroenterologist's discretion.

  • Health-related quality of life (HR-QoL)

    Diagnostic test

    A questionnaire assessing patient-reported satisfaction and function.

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Diagnostic test

    A validated, subjective measure measuring acute and chronic pain.

Patients with incomplete closure.

Percentage of patients with incomplete closure.

Time frame
Up to 28 days
2

Patients bleeding at closure site.

Percentage of patients bleeding at closure site within 28 days from procedure.

Time frame
Up to 28 days
3

Patients with infection at closure site.

Percentage of patients with infection at closure site within 28 days from procedure.

Time frame
Up to 28 days
4

Patients with leakage.

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall rates of Serious Adverse Events

Overall rates of Serious Adverse Events will be recorded up to 180 days following the procedure.

Time frame
Up to 180 days
2

Serious Adverse Device Effects

Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADE) will be evaluated endoscopically at 2-14 and 90 days.

Time frame
Up to 90 days
3

Evidence of a Leak

Clinical, radiologic or endoscopic evidence of a Leak within 30 days

Time frame

Patient Quality of Life

Patient quality of life will be assessed by validated Health-Related Quality of Life Scale questionnaire. The questionnaire includes several measures of perceived health status. The primary overall outcome is the Unhealthy Days Score, calculated as the sum of the number of days of poor physical health and poor mental health during the past 30 days. The score ranges from 0 to 30 days, with higher scores indicating worse health status and lower scores indicating better health status.

Time frame
Up to 180 days
