People taking blood thinners having colonoscopy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who are already taking blood-thinning medicines and are scheduled for a planned colonoscopy. It may help improve how colonoscopies are done safely for people on these medicines.

- Be older than 18 years
- You must be scheduled for a planned (elective) colonoscopy
- You must be taking an antithrombotic (a blood thinner or medicine that reduces blood clots)

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 compares stopping aspirin versus continuing it before a colonoscopy in people who take aspirin to prevent heart problems. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and works best.
This study looks at the safest way to handle your blood thinners when you have a colonoscopy. It is for people with stable heart or blood vessel disease who take two blood thinners and need a routine screening or follow-up colonoscopy.
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 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.
This study looks at whether patients taking certain blood-thinning medications (DOACs) have more bleeding during oral biopsies—small tissue samples taken from the mouth. Understanding this helps doctors know how to safely care for patients on these medications.
