Colonoscopy and Antiplatelet Therapy Trial

Phase 4
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Interventions
Drug: P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel)
Registration Number
NCT06613191
Lead Sponsor
Ochsner Health System
Brief Summary

Patients on dual antiplatelet therapy )aspirin plus a P2Y12 inhibitor \[clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor\]) undergoing screening or surveilance colonoscopy are at increased risk for bleeding from the procedure. Patients are ussually asked to stop the P2Y12 inhibitor for the procedure. Currently, recommendation is that patients only on a P2Y12 inhibitor be changes to aspirin for the procedure. This pilot study will evaluate if there is a large difference in bleeding between patients only taking aspirin compared with patients only taking a P2Y12 inhibitor. Patinets who participate will randomly be randomly asked to stop either aspirin or the P2Y12 inhibitor 1 week before the procedure. Periprocedural bleeding and bleeding after the procedure for iup to 30 days.

Primary safety endpont7 days

Composite of:

* Use of endoscopic clips post-polypectomy to control persistent intraprocedural bleeding (defined as bleeding persisting for greater than 2 minutes),

* Major delayed bleeding, which was symptomatically or clinically overt and associated with an unplanned admission or readmission to hospital for rectal bleeding,

* Bleeding that directly contributed to death,

* Minor bleeding defined as any sign or symptom of peri-rectal bleeding that did not fit the above criteria,

* Need for further intervention to control bleeding such as endoscopic, surgical, or radiological intervention, or

* Bleeding causes a fall in hemoglobin ≥ 2 g/dL or leads to transfusion of whole blood or red cells.
