About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Hemostatic Powder Versus Optimal Clinical Management for the Treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding From Tumor Lesions

This study evaluates the efficacy of the endoscopic hemostatic powder for the treatment of bleeding from malignant lesions of the upper GI tract. Half of participants will receive hemostatic powder and half will be submitted to standard treatment.

Read the detailed description

Gastrointestinal tumor bleeding is a challenging clinical condition with a high mortality rate. Several endoscopic hemostasis techniques have been tested, but results were disappointing. Re-bleeding and mortality rates are still high.

Hemostatic powder is a promising therapy for tumor bleeding, since it can be applied over large surfaces. Bleeding from a tumor lesion often occurs diffusely on the surface of the tumor rather than from a specific vessel.

What is being measured

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

  1. rebleeding

    Measured: until 30 days after endoscopy

  2. mortality

    Measured: until 30 days after endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Successful initial hemostasis

    Measured: From the moment of the procedure until 24 hours after it

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: from the moment of the endoscopic procedure until hospital discharge or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hemospray (Endoscopic treatment with hemostatic powder) in people with Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage and Gastrointestinal Neoplasms, run by Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Global recall of Hemospray). 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?

rebleeding (time frame: until 30 days after endoscopy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Aug 2020.
