Does Early Re-administration of Aspirin/Clopidogrel Increase the Risk of Bleeding From Artificial Ulcer After EMR or ESD?

A Phase 4 interventional study of aspirin and/or clopidogrel and aspirin and/or clopidogrel in Early Gastric Cancer and Gastric Dysplasia, sponsored by Asan Medical Center. Status unknown at 1 site in South Korea. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-11-22.

Study summary

Aspirin and/or clopidogrel users are increasing due to increased prevalence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease with an aging society in Korea. Also, the patients having endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia are increasing among aspirin and/or clopidogrel users. Practically, aspirin or clopidogrel is recommended to be stopped for 5\~14 days before EMR or ESD because bleeding risk during or after procedure. And it is recommended to restart of aspirin and/or clopidogrel as soon as possible if immediate bleeding during or after the procedure is not occurred in consideration of thromboembolic risk. However, early restarting of aspirin and/or clopidogrel raise the risk of delayed bleeding and the risk of complications associated with delayed ulcer healing. Although it is important to determine the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel in consideration of complications of post-EMR/ESD ulcer and thromboembolic risk, there is no definite guideline about the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel.

This study is aimed to determine the timing of restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel for the patients having EMR or ESD among aspirin and/or clopidogrel users. The investigators planned to compare the delayed bleeding rate and ulcer healing rate in patients with post-EMR/ESD ulcer when take proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40 mg per day) between the patients restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel within 3\~4 days after the procedure and the patients restarting aspirin and/or clopidogrel 2 weeks after the procedure during 4 weeks. The primary endpoint is delayed ulcer bleeding rate at 4 weeks after EMR/ESD. The secondary end point is ulcer healing rate within 4 weeks.

Interventions

  • Drugaspirin and/or clopidogrel

    Patients who have taken aspirin and/or clopidogrel and are found to have early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia by upper endoscopy will be stopped aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 7 days before EMR/ESD. In immediate group, the patient will receive oral proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40mg per day) for 4 weeks after EMR/ESD to treat their post-EMR/ESD ulcer.

  • Drugaspirin and/or clopidogrel

    Patients who have taken aspirin and/or clopidogrel and are found to have early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia by upper endoscopy will be stopped aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 7 days before EMR/ESD. In 2 weeks group, the patient will receive oral proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40mg per day) for 4 weeks after EMR/ESD to treat their post-EMR/ESD ulcer.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 22, 2012, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
