Overview

The problem of delayed bleeding after endoscopic resection is becoming important due to the growing number of indications for anti-aggregation or anticoagulant treatment for cardiovascular reasons in the aging populations. Previous studies have shown that in patients at high risk of bleeding, the use of (PuraStat®), a simple and easily applicable solution, decreases the rate of delayed bleeding by promoting wound healing. Various preventive treatments, such as the prophylactic use of clips, have been tried to prevent the occurrence of delayed bleeding, but to date, no treatment has clearly shown its effectiveness. In addition, preventive hemostasis with clips is difficult and costly. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of PuraStat® to the standard treatment in reducing delayed bleeding after colorectal ESD in patients at high risk of delayed bleeding. The secondary objectives are to compare the same two strategies in terms of effectiveness and side effects. The primary outcome measure is the percentage of delayed bleeding at 30 days after surgery (ESD).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
