PuraStat and adrenaline vs standard care for upper GI bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether a medicine called trimebutine maleate helps doctors see the stomach lining more clearly during an emergency endoscopy for upper GI bleeding. If it works, it could help doctors find and treat the bleeding more easily.
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.
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 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.
This trial tests two medications—tranexamic acid and sucralfate—applied during an endoscopy (a camera procedure) to stop bleeding caused by tumors in the upper digestive tract. The goal is to see which treatment works better at controlling the bleeding.
