About this study

Official title: Supplementary Angiographic Embolization for Peptic Ulcer Bleeding: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Peptic ulcer bleeding is a common disorder. Despite optimal endoscopic and medical treatment, there is a high risk of rebleeding and high mortality. In this study the investigators examine whether combined endoscopic haemostasis and angiographic embolization resolves in a better outcome than the traditional use of endoscopic haemostasis alone. The study is a randomised controlled trail.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Angiographic embolizationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Therapeutic angiography, Arterial embolization, Transcatheter arterial embolization, Embolization

    Patients in the intervention arm receive supplementary angiographic embolization within 24 hours from the therapeutic endoscopy.

  • Therapeutic endoscopyProcedure or surgery

    Patients are treated with standard therapeutic upper endoscopy including endoscopic combination therapy.

Study groups in NCT01125852
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention groupActive comparatorPatients in this group are treated with usual therapeutic endoscopy including endoscopic combination therapy and 72 hours intravenous proton pump inhibitor. Within 24 hours from the therapeutic endoscopy they receive supplementary angiographic embolization.
Receives: Procedure: Angiographic embolization
Control groupActive comparatorPatients in this arm receive standard treatment including therapeutic endoscopy with endoscopic combination therapy followed by 72 hours intravenous proton pump inhibitor.
Receives: Procedure: Therapeutic endoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite Endpoint

    Patients are classified into groups depending on the worst outcome:

    1. No clinical signs of rebleeding and requirement of two or less blood transfusions after circulatory stabilization and obtained hemoglobin > 5,9mmol/L.
    2. No clinical signs of rebleeding and requirement of more than two blood transfusions after circulatory stabilization and obtained hemoglobin > 5,9mmol/L.
    3. Rebleeding and achieved secondary haemostasis by endoscopy or angiographic embolization.
    4. Rebleeding requiring surgery.
    5. Patients who have died.

    Results are compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.

    Measured: Meassured after a week from primary therapeutic endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Mortality

    Patients who have died within af month from therapeutic endoscopy.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Rebleeding

    Rebleeding from ulcer confirmed by endoscopy, angiography or surgery within a month from therapeutic endoscopy.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Blood transfusion

    Amount of received blood transfusions after circulatory stabilization and obtained hemoglobin > 5,9mmol/L. Patients will only receive blood transfusion if hemoglobin < 6,0mmol/L

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Surgical haemostasis

    Rebleeding requiring surgical haemostasis within a month from therapeutic endoscopy.

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Endoscopic/other haemostatic retreatment

    Rebleeding confirmed by endoscopy or angiography and achieved secondary haemostasis by endoscopy or angiographic embolization.

    Measured: 1 month

  6. Duration of hospitalization

    Time from hospitalization to discharge.

    Measured: Estimated 4 days

  7. Thromboembolic complications

    Occurence of thromboembolic complications due to angiographic embolization, surgery or therapeutic endoscopy.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angiographic embolization and Therapeutic endoscopy in people with Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage, run by Odense University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 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 Denmark. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Composite Endpoint (time frame: Meassured after a week from primary therapeutic endoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01125852, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 May 2013.
