Preventing bleeding after polyp removal with sucralfate spray
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether spraying sucralfate (a medication that coats and protects the stomach lining) onto the site where a large polyp was removed can help prevent bleeding afterward. It is for people who take blood thinners and have a large polyp (1 cm or bigger).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must currently take blood thinners (antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications).
- You must have a large polyp (1 centimeter or bigger) that will be removed.
- You must have recent blood test results (within the last 6 months) for kidney function, platelet count, and clotting time.
- You must be able to safely stop your blood thinner before the procedure (as your doctor advises).
- You should not have a known allergy to sucralfate.

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.
This pilot study tests whether a special powder, sprayed through an endoscope, can safely and effectively stop bleeding in the lower part of the digestive tract.
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.
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 tests a medicine called sucralfate to see if it helps prevent bleeding after a procedure that removes bile duct stones. If you are having this procedure, you might be able to join.
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.
