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 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 study tests a new method for closing wounds in the stomach after removing abnormal tissue during an endoscopy. It may help people with stomach lesions heal better and reduce risks, but it is still being studied for safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests a gel made from gelatin that is placed on bleeding areas during surgery to stop bleeding. It may help reduce blood loss during your procedure.
This study looks back at people who had a non-cancerous growth (adenoma) removed from the ampulla—the opening where the bile and pancreatic ducts meet the intestine—using an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera). Researchers want to learn what makes the procedure more likely to succeed and what side effects people may have, so they can better guide future patients.
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.
