About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Comparison of a Novel Hemostatic Clip (Resolution Clip™) to Combined Epinephrine Injection and Heater Probe Thermocoagulation in the Endoscopic Control of Ulcer Bleeding

To compare the efficacy of a novel endoscopic clipping device(Resolution Clip™) and conventional epinephrine injection and heater probe thermocoagulation in control of peptic ulcer bleeding and prevention of recurrent bleeding

Read the detailed description

The mortality of peptic ulcer bleeding remains high despite advances in endoscopy and medical therapy. Endoscopic therapy effectively controls peptic ulcer bleeding and substantially reduces recurrent bleeding. However, the best endoscopic therapy is still unclear. The current standard of therapy is injection with diluted epinephrine and heater probe (3.2mm) thermo-coagulation. However, it may be associated with complications such as precipitation of myocardial ischemia or heater probe perforation.

Endoscopic clipping is an emerging modality of endoscopic treatment, it mimics the use of surgical ligature on bleeding artery. Endo-clipping has the theoretical advantage over injection and heater probe in that the tissue reaction or damage will be much milder.

Resolution Clip™ is a newly developed endo-clipping device. It is superior to older generations of endo-clips in that it allows repeated closures and re-opening of clip so as to facilitate accurate deployment onto bleeding artery to ensure its optimal placement for hemostasis.

Consecutive patients with endoscopically confirmed bleeding peptic ulcer will be invited to participate in this double-blind, randomised trial, which compares the efficacy of Resolution clip and conventional dual endoscopic therapy. Patients will be compared for 30-day treatment failure rate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Failure to control bleeding endoscopically and recurrent bleeding after initial control

    linical rebleeding is defined by fresh hematemesis, fresh melena or hematochezia and signs of hypovolemic shock (systolic blood pressure of <90mmHg and pulse rate >110 per minute) and a drop in hemoglobin of > 2 g/dl per 24 hours despite adequate transfusion.

    Rebleeding will be confirmed by an immediate endoscopy showing fresh blood in stomach or active bleeding from a previously seen ulcer. A clinical rebleeding will be independently reviewed by an adjudication panel.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Transfusion requirement (before and after endoscopic therapy)

    Measured: within 30 days of therapy

  2. Hospital stay

    Measured: within 30 days of therapy

  3. The need for surgery

    Measured: within 30 days of therapy

  4. Mortality from recurrent bleeding and all causes within 30 days of treatment

    Measured: within 30 days of therapy

  5. Treatment related complications e.g. perforation

    Measured: within 30 days of therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Resolution clip (endo-clipping device) in people with Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Failure to control bleeding endoscopically and recurrent bleeding after initial control (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2013.
