RECRUITING

Pediatric Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy Technique

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this research study is to test a new device called the PUMA-G Pediatric System. The research will measure if the device works well to safely aid doctors placing gastrostomy feeding tubes in children. The PUMA-G Pediatric System is an investigational device that uses ultrasound and magnets to guide insertion of a feeding tube.

Official Title

A Multi-center, Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Use and Safety and of the Pediatric PUMA-G System for Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy

  13. * Esophageal Diseases: Atresia, stricture, caustic ingestion
  14. * Spinal anomalies or atypical organ placement
  15. * Any other medical condition(s) that may put the patient at risk or influence study results in the investigator's opinion, based on the performance of a pre-procedural assessment.
