- Adult, Older adult
Study population: Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic procedures for which AE05ML is planned for use for delivery of ML Hem-o-lok polymer clips for ligation of vessels / tissue structures 3 - 10 mm in size, per the device instructions for use (IFU), should be considered for participation in the study. One hundred sixty-one (161) evaluable adult subjects are required. An evaluable subject is defined as a subject in whom clip delivery via AE05ML was attempted, during their scheduled laparoscopic procedure, in accordance with the device IFU, and the Laparoscopic Procedure Data Collection was performed. Additional subjects will be recruited to replace non-evaluable subjects to meet the target sample size. Reasons for determining a subject to be non-evaluable will be documented.

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.
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?
Evaluating the safety of AE05ML (time frame: Duration of AE05ML used during laparoscopic procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 May 2026.
