Trial summary

Although endoscopic colonic polypectomy has been an established procedure for two decades, the risk of bleeding is still higher after resecting of pedunculated polyps, because of the presence of a large artery in the stalk. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Clip and Detachable Snare in Preventing Postpolypectomy Bleeding for Pedunculated Colonic Polyps: a Prospective, Randomized Study

Although endoscopic colonic polypectomy has been an established procedure for two decades, the risk of bleeding is still higher after resecting of pedunculated polyps, because of the presence of a large artery in the stalk. Several preventive methods such as detachable snare and adrenaline injection have been proposed in the management of postpolypectomy bleeding in large colonic polyps. For prophylactic clip, there was no prospective randomized study assessing the efficacy in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding for the large pedunculated polyps. So we designed a prospective, randomized study to compares the efficacy of application of prophylactic clip and detachable snare in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding in large polyps. Application of prophylactic clip will be as effective and safe method as detachable snare in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding for the large pedunculated colonic polyps.

What participants receive

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

  • Prophylactic clipProcedure or surgery

    Before conventional snare polypectomy, hemoclips were applied on the base of stalk in the prophylactic clip group

  • Detachable snareProcedure or surgery

    In the detachable snare group, detachable snare was positioned at the base of stalk and followed by conventional snare polypectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Postpolypectomy bleeding

    Measured: Immediate (bleeding occurring immediately after polypectomy and lasting for 30 s or more) and delayed bleeding complications were assessed. Delayed bleeding was subdivide into early (<24 h) and late (>24 h-30 days).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prophylactic clip and Detachable snare in people with Colonic Polyp, run by The Catholic University of 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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Postpolypectomy bleeding (time frame: Immediate (bleeding occurring immediately after polypectomy and lasting for 30 s or more) and delayed bleeding complications were assessed. Delayed bleeding was subdivide into early (<24 h) and late (>24 h-30 days).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
