What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of PuraStat®, a novel hemostatic gel, combined with Adrenaline compared to standard care in managing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The study aims to determine if this combination can provide better outcomes in terms of hemostasis and reduce re-bleeding rates. Participants will undergo endoscopic therapy, and the trial will assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment approach. The study is designed as a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, open-label trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to better patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on PuraStat® for UGIB, other hemostatic agents have shown success in similar applications, indicating potential for this approach.
