Preventing bleeding after colonoscopy using preventive clip placement
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You currently take a DOAC blood thinner (for example, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, edoxaban)
- Your colonoscopy is planned (screening, polyp check, or to investigate symptoms like anemia or prior bleeding)
- You are 18 years or older and can give written consent
- You are able to safely pause your DOAC around the time of the procedure, if needed
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have active bleeding right now

This trial looks at the best time to restart direct oral anticoagulants (blood thinners) after having polyps removed during a colonoscopy. It aims to find a balance between preventing bleeding and reducing the risk of blood clots.
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.
This study is testing a new type of scissors used during a procedure to remove growths from the colon or rectum. The goal is to see if these scissors help the removal go more smoothly and safely.
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 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 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.
