Preventing bleeding after polyp removal with sucralfate spray
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether spraying a medicine called sucralfate on the area where a large polyp was removed can lower the risk of delayed bleeding. It is for people who take blood thinners and are having large polyps removed during a colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You take a blood thinner (antiplatelet or anticoagulant medicine).
- You have at least one large polyp (1 cm or bigger) that will be removed during a colonoscopy.
- You have recent blood test results (within the last 6 months) for kidney function, platelet count, and clotting time.
- You are able to stop or reduce your blood thinner before the procedure as instructed by your doctor.
- You are not allergic 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 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 a special powder sprayed through a scope can safely and effectively stop bleeding in the lower digestive tract. The powder helps blood clot and covers the bleeding area, which might help avoid more invasive treatments.
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 study tests whether adding sucralfate (a stomach-lining protectant) to the standard acid-reducer esomeprazole helps heal ulcers that form after a procedure called ESD for early stomach cancer. It helps find which combination works better for recovery.
