Clinical trials

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is a therapeutic option for the treatment of challenging lesions such as subepithelial tumors (SETs) and epithelial neoplasia extending deeper than the mucosa or associated with significant fibrosis. EFTR may offer a less invasive treatment alternative relative to surgical approaches in selected patients. The gastroduodenal FTRD System (gdFTRD System) is an instrument for endoscopic full-thickness resection or deep partial wall resection and diagnostic tissue acquisition through removal of suitable lesions in the stomach and duodenum. The prospectively generated data of the gdFTRD registry shall be used to evaluate the application of the gdFTRD in clinical routine, to verify the acceptability of already known risks and to identify unknown risks and complications.
