Trial summary

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been widely used as a diagnostic and treatment techniques of gastrointestinal small lesions. Para-procedure bleeding is one of the common complication following EMR. Several endoscopic hemostasis methods are currently in use including metallic hemoclip. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: EndoClotTM Absorbable Polysaccharide Hemostat in Comparison With Metallic Hemoclip for Hemostasis and Preventing Post-procedure Bleeding After Endoscopic Mucosal Resection: a Prospective, Randomized Trial

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been widely used as a diagnostic and treatment techniques of gastrointestinal small lesions. Para-procedure bleeding is one of the common complication following EMR. Several endoscopic hemostasis methods are currently in use including metallic hemoclip. EndoClot® absorbable polysaccharide hemostat (PAPH) as a new hemostasis material was previously used for surgical hemostasis, but the therapeutic effect and safety in endoscopic application remains unknown. This randomized controlled study has been designed to compare PAPH with metallic hemoclip in their hemostatic effect of intra-procedure bleeding control and rebleeding prevention during and after EMR.

What participants receive

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

  • HemoclipProcedure or surgery

    Also called metallic hemoclip (Cat# HX-610-090L, Olympus)

    Hemoclip application is a standard treatment option after endoscopic mucosal resection of colonic lesion to stop and prevent post-procedure bleeding.

  • EndoClotProcedure or surgery

    Also called EndoClot® Absorbable Polysaccharide Hemostat (Cat# Y2007090722, Starch Medical Inc)

    EndoClot hemostat is applied immediately after EMR to achieve hemostasis.

Receives: Procedure: Hemoclip

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemostasis rate after EMR

    Initial hemostatsis was observed endoscopically immediately after application of hemoclip or Endoclot. Complete hemostatsis is ensured. Endoscopic combined hemostasis or emergency surgery would be applied if severe bleeding occurred and endoscopic management fails

    Measured: Up to half an hour immediately after EMR procedure to ensure successful management is achieved.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mucosal healing after EMR

    Colonoscopy will be repeated 1 month after EMR procedure to observe if application of Endoclot will delay the musosal healing.

    Measured: up to 1 month

  2. Time taken to achieve hemostasis

    The time taken to achieve hemostasis is recorded immediately after EMR procedure to reflect the technical difficulty of hemostasis measure.

    Measured: Up to half an hour immediately after EMR procedure to ensure successful management is achieved.

  3. Rebleeding rate after EMR procedure

    Rebleeding rate up to 1 week was obtained by clinical manifestations such as melana; decreased hemoglobin > 20g/L; hemodynamic instability or active bleeding from mucosal defect under endoscope.

    Measured: up to 1 week

  4. gastrointestinal tract obstruction

    Gastrointestinal tract obstruction has been previously reported as a possible adverse effect of hemostats, therefore it was observed in the current study.

    Measured: up to 1 month
