Study summary

To compare in a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial the efficacy and safety of OTSC versus TTS clip for first-line hemostasis of high risk bleeding peptic ulcers

Read the detailed description

Despite major advances in the management of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) over the past decade including prevention of peptic ulcer bleeding, optimal use of endoscopic therapy and high-dose proton pump inhibition, this still carries considerable morbidity, mortality and health economic burden Of particular note are the re-bleeding rates, one of the most crucial predictive factors of morbidity and mortality that has not significantly improved as evident from longitudinal data in the past 15 years Although huge advances have been made in terms of therapeutic endoscopic devices available today, complete haemostasis of complicated lesions (i.e. severe bleeding from large vessels or fibrotic ulcer) still remains a challenge and can be difficult to achieve. In particular, traditional clipping devices often appear technically difficult to place and insufficient to provide adequate tissue compression to obliterate large bleeding vessels.

The over-the-scope clip (OTSC) (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tubingen, Germany) system is a recently developed endoscopic device. In a preliminary experience, it has been successfully used in patients with severe bleeding or deep wall lesions, or perforations of the GI tract.

Recent retrospectives studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of OTSC in patients undergoing emergency endoscopy for severe acute NVUGIB after failure of conventional techniques and as first-line To the best of the investigator's knowledge, no randomized clinical trial have been performed investigating the use of OTSC as first-line endoscopic treatment in patients with high-risk NVUGIB.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. successful haemostasis rate

    defined as the absence of bleeding upon at least one minute observation after the assigned endoscopic therapy

    Time frame: during the EGDS

  2. 30-day rebleeding

    re-bleeding episodes (per patient), after the primary endoscopic hemostatic treatment, defined as one or more of the following signs: * hematemesis * presence of fresh blood in the nasogastric tube * hemodynamic instability (pulse and blood pressure) * reduction of Hb by more than 2 g/dL over a 24 h period (early recurrence) or over a 7 days period (late recurrence) after initial stabilization

    Time frame: up to 30 days

  3. overall clinical success

    defined as successful homeostasis rate without evidence of 30-day rebleeding

    Time frame: up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. mortality

    number of patients dead with no more rebleeding episodes and number of patients dead with rebleeding episodes, despite the endoscopic treatment

    Time frame: up to 30 days

  2. lenght of hospital stay

    number of days during the hospital stay

    Time frame: up to 30 days

  3. transfusion requirements

    number of transfunsions needed

    Time frame: up to 30 days

  4. need for radiology

    further radiological procedure because of the previous endoscopic failure

    Time frame: up to 30 days

  5. need for surgery

    further surgical procedure because of the previous endoscopic and radiological failures

    Time frame: up to 30 days

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 May 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
