Bleeding risk check for endoscopy in people on blood thinners
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are taking a blood-thinning medicine (antithrombotic) and will continue it through the procedure.
- You are scheduled to have an EGD (upper scope) or a colonoscopy.
- If you have tissue samples (biopsy) or remove polyps, you must not plan to use preventive clipping afterward.
- Your overall health must not be in the very severe range (ASA class IV or V).

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.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
This trial tests whether placing small “preventive clips” during colonoscopy can reduce bleeding afterward in people who take blood thinners (DOACs). It may help lower the chance of bleeding after polyp removal or biopsy during a scheduled colonoscopy.
This trial tests whether placing small clips at the site of polyp removal in the colon can reduce bleeding in patients who take blood thinners afterwards.
This trial tests if a quick endoscopic exam of the upper digestive tract helps people who come to the hospital with maroon-colored or bloody stools. It may find the source of bleeding and guide treatment.
This trial is for high-risk patients having an upper or lower GI endoscopy (a scope exam). It measures how often heart damage occurs after the procedure, to help doctors understand and possibly prevent these complications.
