About this study

Official title: The Effect of Prophylactic Clip Application for Colon Polypectomy in Patients With Anticoagulation: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

There have been very limited evidence about the bleeding complication during colon polypectomy for the patients taking warfarin.

This study is aimed to analyse the effect of prophylactic hemo-clipping during colon polypectomy for the patients with warfarin consumption.

Read more

The enrolled subjects are the patients who take warfarin for high thromboembolism risk and should take heparin bridging therapy during colon polypectomy instead of temporary stopping warfarin. The investigators will randomize into two groups; the patient enrolled into group 1 will be performed hemoclipping for all polypectomy lesion irrespective of the presence of immediate bleeding. And the patients enrolled into group 2 will be performed hemoclipping only for the lesion of immediate bleeding during colon polypectomy.

The primary endpoint is to compare the rate of delayed bleeding between two groups.

Read the detailed description

The American guideline have recommended that if the patient with low risk of thromboembolism, warfarin consumption can be quit 3~5 days before colon polypectomy and resume within 24 hours after polypectomy. However, if the patient were high risk of thromboembolism, the patient should take heparin bridging therapy during temporal quit of warfarin consumption for colon polypectomy. There have been very limited evidences about the bleeding complication during colon polypectomy for the patients with warfarin taking.

Moreover, there have been lack of evidence that how to prevent the bleeding complication in the patients with high risk of thromboembolism who should take heparin bridging therapy during temporal stopping of warfarin for colon polypectomy.

This study is aimed to analyse the effect of prophylactic hemo-clipping during colon polypectomy for the patients with warfarin consumption.

The investigators will enroll the subjects who should take heparin bridging therapy (quit warfarin 3~5 days before colon polypectomy and check the INR, if the INR <2, heparin or low molecular heparin should be start. If the INR <1.5 on the day before colon polypectomy, the patient will undergo bowel preparation and colon polypectomy. Warfarin will resume within 24 hour after polypectomy) after quit warfarin for during colon polypectomy over 19 years old.

Exclusions are as follow; patients who don't have to take bridging heparin therapy after quit warfarin, patients have low a platelet count (<80,000/mm3), patients who take anti-platelet agents, patients who have GI malignancies. The investigators will randomize into two groups; the patient enrolled into group 1 will be performed hemoclipping for all polypectomy lesion irrespective of the presence of immediate bleeding. And the patients enrolled into group 2 will be performed hemoclipping only for the lesion of immediate bleeding during colon polypectomy. Including polyps for colon polypectomy are 6~ 20 mm size and polypectomy procedure is defined as EMR after injection with blended electrical current.

The lesion which immediate bleeding is occurred during the polypectomy will be performed hemoclipping irrespective of group and will not be counted as delayed bleeding even though delayed bleeding is occurred on this lesion.

The primary endpoint is to compare the rate of delayed bleeding between two groups. The secondary endpoint is to analyse the effect of hemoclipping for immediate bleeding.

This study will be performed during 3 years after 1st patient enrollment and the target size of enrollment is 356 (176 in each group).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with delayed bleeding

    The primary endpoint is to compare the rate of delayed bleeding between two groups.

    Measured: Bleeding within 30 days after colon polypectomy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of successful bleeding control after hemoclipping for immediate bleeding in the patients with warfarin.

    The secondary endpoint is to analyse the effect of hemoclipping for immediate bleeding and will be measured as successful hemostasis rate of hemoclipping. There has limited evidence about the efficacy of hemoclipping for the immediate bleeding during colon polypectomy in the patients with anticoagulation

    Measured: Bleeding during the procedure

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact HYUN GUN KIM, MD.,PhD. (8227099852, medgun@schmc.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with delayed bleeding (time frame: Bleeding within 30 days after colon polypectomy). 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?
