Comparing Two Treatments for Bleeding Stomach Tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a tumor in your upper digestive tract (stomach or esophagus) that is actively bleeding
- You are willing to have an endoscopy (a camera procedure down your throat) to treat the bleeding
- You are not allergic to sucralfate or tranexamic acid
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a hole (perforation) in your stomach or intestines

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial tests two medicines—ACT (a blood thinner) and tranexamic acid (a medicine to reduce bleeding)—to see which is better at controlling bleeding during heart surgery. It is for adults having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
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 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 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.
