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.
Who can take part
- 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 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 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).
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 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 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 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.
