Bleeding from the gut while on blood thinners
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study collects information from patients who come to the emergency room with gastrointestinal bleeding while taking certain newer blood thinners. It aims to better understand and manage this type of bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are coming to the emergency room because of bleeding in your digestive tract (such as vomiting blood, black stool, or bright red blood from the rectum).
- You take a newer blood thinner called dabigatran (Pradaxa), apixaban (Eliquis), or rivaroxaban (Xarelto).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how often a simple stool test (FIT) shows hidden blood in people who take blood thinners. It helps doctors understand if the test is still useful for you.
This study looks at side effects of blood thinners (anticoagulants) in patients who visited the emergency department. It helps doctors understand how to better manage these medications.
This trial is looking at patients with ischemic heart disease who are taking one or two antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel) and have had gastrointestinal bleeding. The goal is to study this problem and find better ways to manage it.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
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 is looking at adults who have bleeding in the upper part of the stomach or gut that was caused by a medication. The goal is to learn more about how this type of bleeding happens and how to treat it.
