About this study

Official title: Prognostic Factors of Outcome in Patient With Malignant Gastrointestinal Bleeding Treated With a Novel Hemostatic Power

This is a retrospective study to identify the prognostic factors of the good outcomes in patients who presented with upper GI bleeding from tumor and received Hemospray via endoscopy for hemostatic control. The good outcomes were assessed by immediate hemostasis, rebleeding at 72 hours as well as 7, 14 and 30 days following presentation at initial bleeding episode and also 6-month survival rate.

Read the detailed description

Tumor-related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is increasing due to the advancement of treatment in oncology. However, conventional endoscopic hemostatic methods are not reliable to control bleeding. Surgery, embolization, and radiotherapy can served as the salvage hemostasis; though, a bridging endoscopic therapy is required during resuscitation and stabilization of the patients. Hemospray is a recent novel endoscopic hemostatis powder which has a trend to be an effective instrument for controlling the active upper GI tumor bleeding from a match-pair, case-control study by the author's recent publication. Consequently, the authors hypothesized that there are some prognostic factors related to the outcome of Hemospray treatment in tumor bleeding.

What participants receive

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

  • Hemostatic powderDevice

    Also called HemosprayTM

    HemosprayTM (Tc-325) is an endoscopic hemostatis powder that came onto market recently. It is made of an inorganic, non-absorbable powder which acts locally at the mucosa. When spraying the powder on to the bleeding site, it creates an adherent stable barrier sheath that allows for at least temporary hemostasis. Neither luminal nor systemic side effects have been reported to date.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Death, run by King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Thailand.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2019. 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 Thailand. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Mortality rate (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03066700, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Feb 2019.
