Postpolypectomy Bleeding in Patients With Antiplatelet Therapy

March 25, 2014 updated by: Hyun Gun, Kim. M.D., Ph.D., Soonchunhyang University Hospital

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.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patients who take low dose aspirin (75~160mg) for primary prevention of vascular disease and low risk for thromboembolism.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patients who taking anti-thrombotic agents,
  • The patients who taking thienopyridines or other NSAID with aspirin,
  • The patients who have low platelet count(<80,000/mm3) and prolongated PT/aPTT in laboratory test,
  • The patients who have chronic renal disease (creatinine>3mg/dl over 6 months),
  • The patients who have polyps over than 1 cm in size or thick pedicle over 1 cm,

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: Aspirin holding group
Aspirin 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
Experimental: Aspirin continuing group
Aspirin 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.
Drug: Aspirin
Aspirin hold for a certain period of time in the patients who take aspirin for the primary prevention of vascular disease,

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures
