Chlorophyllin for bleeding from radiation-treated gut
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a supplement called chlorophyllin to see if it can help stop bleeding in the gut caused by past radiation therapy. If you have had such bleeding, taking this supplement might reduce the bleeding and help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had radiation to your belly, pelvis, or chest area and started having bleeding in your gut at least 6 months after that treatment.
