What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a haemostatic gel, PuraStat, in reducing significant bleeding after endoscopic resection of advanced duodenal neoplasia compared to standard treatment. It is a multicentre, international, single-blind, randomized controlled trial conducted in France. Participants will undergo procedures such as duodenal mucosectomy or ampullectomy, with the study lasting approximately 37 days from selection to intervention. The primary focus is on the safety and efficacy of the gel in preventing the need for blood transfusions or hospital admissions due to bleeding.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with specific ampullary or duodenal lesions who are undergoing endoscopic resection.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have allergies to PuraStat will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of post-operative bleeding and improve patient outcomes after duodenal surgeries.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is based on a CE marked medical device, the specific application in this context is novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
