Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of aspirin prior to colonoscopy increases the risk of post polypectomy bleeding. The primary end point is comparison of bleeding rates after polypectomy of a continuous aspirin group and temporally aspirin-quit group. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Postpolypectomy Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy on Antiplatelet Therapy. - Multicenter, Prospective Observational Study -

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of aspirin prior to colonoscopy increases the risk of post polypectomy bleeding. The primary end point is comparison of bleeding rates after polypectomy of a continuous aspirin group and temporally aspirin-quit group. The secondary end point is analysis of risk factors which affect early or delayed post polypectomy bleeding.

Read the detailed description

Based on very limited evidences, ASGE recommended that endoscopic procedures may be performed on patients taking aspirin. However in a survey of ASGE members regarding their endoscopic practice, 81% would consider discontinuation of aspirin before colonoscopy and 66% would not perform snare polypectomy if patients had not discontinued aspirin. Although a large prospective randomized control trial would be the ideal way to address this issue theoretically, the investigators hypothesized that there are no differences of the post polypectomy bleeding rate in patients whether continuous taking aspirin prior to polypectomy or not.

In this study, we classified the patients into two groups; the patients who can stop taking aspirin before colon polypectomy will be enrolled into group 1, and the patients who take both thienopyridines and aspirin for their underlying disease and should keep take aspirin during colon polypectomy will be enrolled into group 2. The patients of group 1 stop taking aspirin 7 days before polypectomy.

thromboembolism. Exclusions are as follow; patients taking anti-thrombotic agents, patients have low a platelet count (<80,000/mm3) and/or prolongated PT/aPTT, patients who have chronic renal disease (creatinine>3mg/dl over 6 months), patients who have GI malignancies, patients who are over ASA classification class III, over 2 score of HAS-BLED and over 1 of CHAD2 score. The expected enrolled patients number is 500 patients (250 in each group).

All cases of polypectomy are performed with identical methodology; resection after epinephrine mixture injection under blended or mixed current wave. The data includes the patients information such as sex, age, body weight, BMI and vascular disease history such as hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, COPD, modified HAS-BLED score and CHADS2 score. The data of polyp related factor include number of polyps, bleeding status(acute, early, delayed/minimal, moderate, sever), endoscopist (staff or fellow), bowel preparation status, polyp character (shape, location, pathology) and procedures for bleeding (clipping, APC, epinephrine injection, band ligation etc.).

All procedure will be performed with the endoscopist blinded to the patient status of whether the patient is taking aspirin continuously or not.

Study groups in NCT01465256
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Aspirin holding groupNo interventionAspirin holding group (group 1): the patients enrolled into group 1 can stop taking aspirin during colon polypectomy. The patients are usually taking aspirin for primary prevention of vascular disease and have no risk of thromboembolism despite of they stop taking aspirin temporary
Aspirin continuing groupExperimentalAspirin continuing group (group 2): the patients enrolled into group 2 should take aspirin during colon polypectomy because these patients are usually take thienopyridines and aspirin, and if they would stop taking aspirin during colon polypectomy, they have a thromboembolism risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. postpolypectomy bleeding rate

    Measured: bleeding after polypectomy within 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aspirin in people with Bleeding Complication During Colon Polypectomy, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital 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 26 Mar 2014. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postpolypectomy bleeding rate (time frame: bleeding after polypectomy within 30 days). 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 26 Mar 2014.
