A Feasibility Study to Evaluate Safety and Probable Benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System for Distraction Enterogenesis in Adult and Pediatric Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome
This clinical investigation is a study to evaluate safety and probable benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System in pediatric and adult subjects with short bowel syndrome. This study is a single arm study and will enroll subjects ages 3 months to 65 years old at up to 10 study sites in the United States. This study will be open label; treatment allocation will be known by the subjects, the Principal Investigator and his medical staff. Recruitment is expected to occur over the course of 24-36 months.
Device placement will be administered during a standalone procedure or a previously planned procedure that is otherwise needed by the study subject. Subjects may receive up to 2 devices at one time and/or have multiple procedures over time based on clinical necessity Study objectives will be monitored by reviewing patient nutrition, weight, and stool assessment data. The study device will also monitored by radiographic examination to confirm location of the device and assess the safety and probable benefit of distraction enterogenesis until the device is removed or passes out of the intestine naturally. Patients will be followed while the study device is in situ and at 3 and 6 months post device passing or removal. Subjects may or may not be discharged from the hospital while participating in the study, and investigators may recommend that a subject stay in-patient for a portion or the entire length of study, depending on subject health.
159 studies on the registry are indexed under Short Bowel Syndrome; 24 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is above the median of 21 across 108 interventional studies indexed under Short Bowel Syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

All subjects will be assigned to the XL1 Coil treatment group.
Device: Distraction Enterogenesis in Adult Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome
The surgeon verifies the intestinal diameter and selects the appropriate device diameter size. The device is introduced into the lumen of the intestine and advanced about 5-10cm. The surgeon uses 4-0 chromic sutures placed in the seromuscular layer to secure the XL1 Coil within the intestine. The surgeon places metal clips on proximal and distal sutures and in the mesentery adjacent to the XL1 Coil ends to mark the location for radiologic evaluation. The surgeon releases the XL1 Coil and closes the enterotomy.

Started Sep 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2028, 53 months after the start.
Of 24 interventional studies with no phase under Short Bowel Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 59. This study's planned 53 months is above that.
