About this study

Aspirin and/or clopidogrel users are increasing due to increased prevalence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease with an aging society in Korea. Also, the patients having endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia are increasing among aspirin and/or clopidogrel users. Practically, aspirin or clopidogrel is recommended to be stopped for 5~14 days before EMR or ESD because bleeding risk during or after procedure. And it is recommended to restart of aspirin and/or clopidogrel as soon as possible if immediate bleeding during or after the procedure is not occurred in consideration of thromboembolic risk. However, early restarting of aspirin and/or clopidogrel raise the risk of delayed bleeding and the risk of complications associated with delayed ulcer healing. Although it is important to determine the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel in consideration of complications of post-EMR/ESD ulcer and thromboembolic risk, there is no definite guideline about the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel.

This study is aimed to determine the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel for the patients having EMR or ESD among aspirin and/or clopidogrel users. The investigators planned to compare the delayed bleeding rate and ulcer healing rate in patients with post-EMR/ESD ulcer when take proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40 mg per day) between the patients restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel within 3~4 days after the procedure and the patients restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel 2 weeks after the procedure during 4 weeks. The primary endpoint is delayed ulcer bleeding rate at 4 weeks after EMR/ESD. The secondary end point is ulcer healing rate within 4 weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • aspirin and/or clopidogrelDrug

    Patients who have taken aspirin and/or clopidogrel and are found to have early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia by upper endoscopy will be stopped aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 7 days before EMR/ESD. In immediate group, the patient will receive oral proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40mg per day) for 4 weeks after EMR/ESD to treat their post-EMR/ESD ulcer.

  • aspirin and/or clopidogrelDrug

    Patients who have taken aspirin and/or clopidogrel and are found to have early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia by upper endoscopy will be stopped aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 7 days before EMR/ESD.

    In 2 weeks group, the patient will receive oral proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40mg per day) for 4 weeks after EMR/ESD to treat their post-EMR/ESD ulcer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing aspirin and/or clopidogrel in people with Early Gastric Cancer and Gastric Dysplasia, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2012. 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 South Korea. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

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?

delayed ulcer bleeding (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 22 Nov 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
