Gel to prevent bleeding after ampulla surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a blood-clotting gel (PuraStat®) can help prevent bleeding after endoscopic removal of certain ampulla/duodenal growths. You might be offered the gel during the procedure to lower the risk of post-procedure bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an ampulla lesion that is at least 10 mm (about 1 cm)
- The plan is to remove it by endoscopy (hot ampullectomy or hot endoscopic mucosal resection)
- You have one to two total lesions, and the lesion size is at least 15 mm
- The lesion type/appearance seen on endoscopy matches certain categories (raised or sub-surface growths)
- You are able to give informed consent (or otherwise are eligible to consent)

This trial tests whether a gel called PuraStat, used together with adrenaline, works better than standard care to stop bleeding in the upper digestive system. It may help people who need an endoscopic procedure to treat non-variceal bleeding.
This study looks at people who had a procedure to remove a growth (called an ampullary adenoma) from a small opening in the digestive tract. The goal is to find out what helps the treatment work well and what might cause side effects.
This trial tests a new disposable device used during an endoscopy to close holes, leaks, or bleeding spots in the stomach or intestines. It may help patients who need a quick, safe closure without open surgery.
This study looks at long-term outcomes after removing a growth in the duodenum or near the bile/pancreas opening (ampulla) using an endoscope. You may benefit by closely monitoring your recovery and long-term health after the procedure.
This trial tests a special stitching tool to close holes in the stomach after removing abnormal growths. It may help patients heal better after a routine procedure to remove suspicious tissue.
This study tests whether a special gel called PuraStat can reduce bleeding after aquablation surgery for prostate problems, which might allow patients to go home the same day. If you're having this surgery, the gel may help you recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.
