About this study

Official title: Prospective Observatory of Endoscopic Mucosal Colonic Resection and Polypectomy Under Aspirin : the "OPERA" Study

The endoscopic management of patients on anti platelet agents is a wide problem more and more common, with prevalence of patients on this type of therapy steadily increasing. The risk of bleeding on antiplatelet during an endoscopic examination can be major. The risk of cardiovascular thrombotic accident in dirty shutdown of anti platelet, was recently described as significant (4-5%). Current recommendations for polypectomy allow the gesture as aspirin and are based on literature data scarce, often retrospective. Such work may be for a lack of increased bleeding risk during a colonic polypectomy under aspirin. There is to date no significant data published on the implementation of the endoscopic mucosal resection (mucosectomy) under aspirin. It is necessary to achieve a national multicenter observational study on a large scale in the daily practice of colonic polypectomy / mucosectomy in patient taking aspirin.

The aim of the study is to determine the incidence of immediate and delayed bleeding colonic polypectomy and mucosectomy with aspirin. The patients undergoing colonoscopy and taking a long-term aspirin therapy and presenting a major risk of thromboembolism or medium will incluables. Inclusion will be achieved for those patients receiving aspirin colonoscopy after signing a specific consent. Polypectomy will be possible according to the recommendations of the French Society of Digestive Endoscopy. Upon discovery of a lesion to be resected by mucosectomy, the patient will benefit from the mucosectomy. The study is observational, multicenter, prospective, national. The polypectomies / colonic mucosectomies will be made using the conventional techniques and the current recommendations. The immediate and delayed hemorrhage meet specific definitional criteria. The number of patients to be included will be 1000. The duration of the study inclusions will be 36 months. The trial will be conducted in full compliance with laws, regulations and ethical aspects.

It is expected in this work that the incidence of post-polypectomy bleeding under aspirin is the same. The rate of bleeding reported in the post mucosectomy size is higher compared to the polypectomy: it is however expected that the rate of bleeding in the post mucosectomy with or without aspirin is indifferent. It will follow a recommendation of French society adapted to endoscopy for this type of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polyps, run by Société Française d'Endoscopie Digestive at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 23 Apr 2014. 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 France. 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?

Incidence of delayed bleeding after polypectomy and / or colonic mucosectomy (endoscopic mucosal resection) in patients on aspirin (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 23 Apr 2014.
