Hemostatic powder for lower digestive tract bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have or are suspected to have bleeding in the lower part of your digestive tract (like the colon or rectum).
- A doctor has said that a scope procedure to see and treat the bleeding is needed.
- You are not allergic to sucralfate or tranexamic acid.
- You do not have a hole or tear in your bowel or other hollow organ.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 a powder that is applied to stop bleeding from diverticula (small pouches in the colon). It may help control bleeding without surgery.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) lowers bleeding during colon procedures where abnormal growths are removed with a flexible camera. You might benefit if you’re having one of these colonoscopic resection procedures and don’t have certain key risk factors.
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.
