Medicine to improve stomach view during bleeding emergency
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called trimebutine maleate helps doctors see the stomach lining more clearly during an emergency endoscopy for upper GI bleeding. If it works, it could help doctors find and treat the bleeding more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new, non-invasive breath test that looks for specific gases in your breath to quickly find out if you have upper stomach bleeding. You just breathe into a device, no needles or tubes, and the results could help doctors decide on the best treatment faster.
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 tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
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.
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 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.
