- NCT07310316Recruiting
A trial for variceal bleeding in cavernous transformation of portal vein
This study tests a combined procedure to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the food pipe (varices) in people with a rare condition called cavernous transformation of the portal vein. The treatment involves blocking the bleeding veins and reducing blood flow to the spleen to prevent future bleeding.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07855913Recruiting
Treating bleeding stomach varices in cirrhosis
This study compares two treatments for bleeding stomach varices (swollen veins) in people with cirrhosis. One uses a special scope with ultrasound to place coils and glue, while the other uses glue alone. The goal is to find which works better to stop bleeding.
Orlando, FloridaAges 19 years+ - 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+ - NCT07532915Recruiting
Two endoscopy methods to prevent stomach vein bleeding
This trial compares two endoscopic (camera-guided) procedures to prevent or treat bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach. Both approaches aim to stop dangerous bleeding or prevent it from happening in high-risk patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT04499898RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Carvedilol vs banding to prevent first bleeding from esophageal veins
This trial compares two ways to prevent bleeding from enlarged veins in the food pipe (esophageal varices) in people with cirrhosis. It tests whether carvedilol (a blood-pressure/heart medicine) works as well as an endoscopic procedure that places small bands to reduce bleeding risk.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT06670157Recruiting
Clip-assisted glue injection for stomach varices
This trial tests a new way to treat enlarged veins in the stomach (gastric varices) using a small clip and a medical glue injection. It is for people with liver cirrhosis who have these veins and are at risk of bleeding or have bled before.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06819566RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus
This study tests whether tying off high-risk veins in the esophagus before starting a common liver cancer treatment can prevent bleeding. It is for people with liver cancer that has spread but who have never had cancer treatment before.
Seoul, Song-paAges 19–80 - NCT06594744RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing first bleeding from varices in liver cancer patients
This trial compares two treatments (banding or a medication called carvedilol) to prevent the first episode of bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus in people with liver cancer. The goal is to find which approach is safer and more effective.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT06594783RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing varices bleeding with carvedilol and banding
This trial tests whether adding endoscopic banding helps prevent bleeding from enlarged varices in people with cirrhosis who still have high-risk varices despite taking carvedilol.
TaipeiAges 18–90 - NCT06736314Recruiting
Removable clip treatment for stomach varices bleeding
This trial tests a removable titanium clip to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach caused by cirrhosis. It may be an option for patients who are stable enough for this procedure.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07253389Recruiting
Comparing two TIPS techniques to prevent variceal rebleeding in cirrhosis
This trial tests a slightly smaller TIPS stent (underdilated) against the standard size to see which is better at preventing another variceal bleed in people with cirrhosis and liver scarring. It aims to find the safest way to lower pressure in the veins while reducing side effects.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT05629845Recruiting
Prevent repeat stomach bleeding using an ultrasound-guided scope
This study compares two ways to stop variceal bleeding (bleeding from swollen veins in the esophagus or stomach) from coming back in people with liver cancer. It tests whether an ultrasound-guided technique during endoscopy can reduce repeat bleeding compared with standard endoscopy methods.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT06624098Recruiting
Early TIPS for Advanced Liver Cancer with Vein Blockage
This study tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) early in people with advanced liver cancer and a vein blockage helps their other treatments work better. It is for patients who are already taking lenvatinib and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07419724Recruiting
Portal hypertension biobank study
This study collects medical data and images from people with portal hypertension who have enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach. It aims to build a database for future research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07390344Recruiting
Study of VIATORR TIPS device for liver pressure
This study tests a new version of a device (VIATORR TIPS) that helps lower high blood pressure in the liver for people with cirrhosis. The device is placed to create a small channel that reroutes blood flow and reduces pressure.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07349654Recruiting
New stent method to reduce brain fog after TIPS procedure
This trial tests a modified stent placement technique during TIPS (a procedure to lower blood pressure in the liver) to see if it helps prevent confusion and memory problems that can happen afterward.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06861478RecruitingPhase 2
PPIs for bleeding varices in liver disease
This trial tests whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can help people with cirrhosis who are hospitalized for variceal bleeding. It looks at whether PPIs reduce complications during the hospital stay.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT06669806Recruiting
TIPS Stent Graft for Cirrhosis Complications
This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07639853Enrolling by invitation
Doctor feedback survey on Concerto Versa coils
This study gathers feedback from doctors who use Concerto Versa detachable coils (small metal devices that help treat brain aneurysms). The survey helps improve how these coils work and are used.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 22 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for variceal bleeding?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting variceal bleeding studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a variceal bleeding trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a variceal bleeding trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
