About this study
Official title: The Cardica MicroCutter in Surgical Stapling: A Prospective, Open-label, Multi-center Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of the Microcutter stapling /cutting device in patients requiring the transection, resection or anastomosis of gastrointestinal tissue in a post-market approval study.
Read the detailed description
A prospective, open label, multi-center non-inferiority safety study with an all-comers enrollment of patients requiring surgical stapling of the stomach and/or intestine according to the labeled indications contained in the approved labeling. Up to 178 subjects consented for a 1-month clinical follow-up evaluation will be enrolled. Primary endpoint is to statistical non-inferiority of composite major adverse event rate (composite of infection (non-dermal), dehiscence, bleeding, and strictures) in study patients when compared to composite major adverse event rate (composite of infection (non-dermal), dehiscence, bleeding, and strictures) as derived from a comprehensive analysis of the medical literature. The comparison will be performed for cumulative events up to 30 days postoperatively.
- Conditions
- Thoracic
- Being tested
- Microcutter XPRESS and Microcutter XCHANGE

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Microcutter XPRESS and Microcutter XCHANGE in people with Thoracic, run by Cardica, Inc at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Composite adverse event rate (time frame: up to 30 days postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
