Recruiting studies
- NCT05108844Recruiting
Testing a camera swallow exam for recent upper gut bleeding
This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–90 - NCT07261228Recruiting
Comparing carbon footprint of diagnostic vs. therapeutic upper endoscopy
This study looks at how much carbon dioxide is released during upper endoscopy, comparing people having a diagnostic procedure for stomach discomfort versus those having treatment for a bleeding ulcer. It may help understand which type of procedure has a bigger environmental impact.
BangkokAges 20–80 - NCT06697691Recruiting
Predicting rebleeding risk after upper gut bleeding
This study aims to create a tool that helps doctors predict if a patient with upper gut bleeding (not from veins) will rebleed while still in the hospital. It uses information from your hospital stay to better understand your risk and improve care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04902248Recruiting
Compare two procedures for hard-to-stop upper stomach bleeding
This trial studies whether a newer “OTSC” procedure works as well as a standard procedure called angiographic embolization to stop active, hard-to-control upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It may help people whose bleeding continues or comes back even after initial endoscopy treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06031402Recruiting
Best time for endoscopy for liver cirrhosis bleeding
This study is testing the best timing for an endoscopy (a tube with a camera used to look inside your digestive system) in people with liver cirrhosis and bleeding from enlarged veins. It aims to improve outcomes for patients with this type of emergency bleeding.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06188585Recruiting
New blue dye vs standard treatment for upper GI bleeding
This study tests a new blue dye spray (UI-EWD) versus standard endoscopy treatment for people with active upper GI bleeding. The goal is to see if the dye helps doctors find and stop bleeding more effectively.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 22 years+ - NCT06500468Recruiting
A capsule test for suspected upper GI bleeding
This trial tests a new ingestible capsule called PillSense that can detect bleeding in the upper part of your digestive system. If you come to the emergency room with signs of upper GI bleeding (like vomiting coffee-ground material or having black stools) but without obvious black stool on a physical exam, this study will see if the capsule works as well as the usual endoscopy procedure.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06881628RecruitingPhase 4
Tranexamic acid and vitamin K for bleeding in cirrhosis
This trial tests if giving tranexamic acid and vitamin K by injection can help control bleeding from the upper digestive tract in people with liver cirrhosis. It may offer a way to stop bleeding more quickly.
Tanta, GharbyeaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896409Recruiting
PuraStat and adrenaline vs standard care for upper GI bleeding
This trial tests whether a gel called PuraStat, used together with adrenaline, works better than standard care to stop bleeding in the upper digestive system. It may help people who need an endoscopic procedure to treat non-variceal bleeding.
LleidaAges 18 years+ - NCT07268365Recruiting
Using a cap on the endoscope for upper GI bleeding
This trial tests if placing a small plastic cap on the tip of the endoscope helps doctors treat bleeding ulcers in the stomach or duodenum more effectively. It is for people who are actively bleeding from an ulcer and need an emergency endoscopy.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT07479056Recruiting
Fexuprazan to prevent stomach bleeding in heart patients on two blood thinners
This trial tests whether fexuprazan can prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in people at high risk who need two antiplatelet drugs for at least 6 months after a heart stent. If you are on dual antiplatelet therapy after a stent and have risk factors like older age, low weight, or history of ulcers, this study may help protect your stomach.
Seoul, Eunpyeong-guAges 20 years+ - NCT06951490Enrolling by invitation
PillSense study for anemia and blood in stool
This trial tests a special pill that can be swallowed to help find the cause of anemia or hidden blood in the stool, without the need for more invasive tests. It is for patients who are already in the hospital and have been referred to a gastroenterologist.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07089277Recruiting
Validating a bleeding risk score for stomach bleeding
This study checks how well a risk score predicts the need for treatment in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (bleeding in the stomach or esophagus). It may help doctors decide if you need urgent care.
SousseAges 18 years+ - NCT06848400Recruiting
Capsule endoscopy for stomach screening at home
This trial tests if a capsule-sized camera can be used at home to check for stomach problems. It's for healthy people or those with stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, or bleeding.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07687706RecruitingPhase 3
Tegoprazan to prevent stomach problems after stroke
This study tests a stomach-protecting medicine called tegoprazan for people who have had a stroke and are starting antiplatelet therapy. It aims to prevent stomach complications like ulcers or bleeding.
Busan, BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT07540026Recruiting
Comparing Two Treatments for Bleeding Stomach Tumors
This trial tests two medications—tranexamic acid and sucralfate—applied during an endoscopy (a camera procedure) to stop bleeding caused by tumors in the upper digestive tract. The goal is to see which treatment works better at controlling the bleeding.
Tainan, Not Required For This CountryAges 18 years+ - NCT06393868RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing stomach bleeding with omeprazole during blood thinner therapy
This trial tests whether omeprazole (a stomach acid reducer) can help prevent stomach bleeding in older adults who are taking blood thinners for a newly diagnosed blood clot. It may be a good fit if you are 65 or older and starting blood thinners for a clot.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT03596476Recruiting
Test for reflux causes after proton pump pills fail
This study checks whether a special test of the esophagus after meals can find the exact reason for ongoing reflux symptoms when proton pump pills (PPIs) don’t help. It may help doctors choose the right next treatment for people whose reflux symptoms keep coming back.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT04646083Recruiting
Tests how far a scope can insert in the small bowel
This trial looks at how deeply doctors can safely insert a camera scope into the ileum (a part of the small intestine) during a procedure called retrograde enteroscopy. It may help improve how the exam is done for people whose small-bowel problem wasn’t fully found by usual tests.
El Paso, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05439135Recruiting
Fecal microbiome transplant to treat malnutrition after GI surgery
This trial tests whether “washed microbiota transplant” (a treatment using processed gut bacteria) can improve malnutrition in adults who developed it after certain upper gut surgeries. It may help by restoring helpful gut bacteria, but you must meet several medical and safety checks.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05804331Recruiting
Endoscopy treatment study for large upper stomach/throat lesions
This trial studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05995821Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection for head and neck cancers
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancers of the head, neck, or upper airway to learn how the immune system responds to these cancers. The goal is to find better ways to treat these diseases in the future.
