New blue dye vs standard treatment for upper GI bleeding
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new blue dye spray (UI-EWD) versus standard endoscopy treatment for people with active upper GI bleeding. The goal is to see if the dye helps doctors find and stop bleeding more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 22 years or older.
- You are currently having active upper GI bleeding (vomiting blood, black/tarry stools, or blood in stool).
- The cause of bleeding is one of these: a stomach or duodenal ulcer with visible bleeding, a tumor, a Dieulafoy lesion, or a Mallory-Weiss tear.
- You have not had any endoscopic treatment for bleeding in the past 30 days.
- You are not on triple antithrombotic therapy (three blood thinners) at this time.
- You have no history of a bleeding disorder or low platelet count (under 50).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a small pill (HemoPill) that detects bleeding in the stomach or intestines during an upper endoscopy. It might help doctors find the source of bleeding more quickly and accurately.
This trial tests a medication to help stop bleeding in the upper part of the stomach and esophagus. It may offer a new option for people with this urgent condition.
This trial studies a procedure called endoscopic treatment to stop bleeding in the upper digestive tract. It may help stop active bleeding and reduce the chance of bleeding again.
This trial tests if a quick endoscopic exam of the upper digestive tract helps people who come to the hospital with maroon-colored or bloody stools. It may find the source of bleeding and guide treatment.
This trial studies whether a newer “OTSC” procedure works as well as a standard procedure called angiographic embolization to stop active, hard-to-control upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It may help people whose bleeding continues or comes back even after initial endoscopy treatment.
This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
