Bleeding risk check for endoscopy in people on blood thinners
Part of Blood & lymphatic, 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 whether spraying a medicine called sucralfate on the area where a large polyp was removed can lower the risk of delayed bleeding. It is for people who take blood thinners and are having large polyps removed during a colonoscopy.
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 looks at when to do a procedure called an endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look at your stomach) for people with heart disease who take blood thinners and have bleeding in their upper stomach. It aims to find the best timing to stop the bleeding and prevent more problems.
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 study looks at whether heart damage can happen after a routine scope procedure (endoscopy) in patients who are already at high risk due to other health problems. If you are scheduled for endoscopy and have conditions like heart or lung disease, this trial may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart during the procedure.
