Blood thinner safety during polyp removal put to the test

NCT ID NCT07185295

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether it's safe to continue taking blood-thinning medication during the removal of colon polyps. About 481 adults on blood thinners will be randomly assigned to either keep taking their medication or stop temporarily before the procedure. Researchers will track serious bleeding within 30 days to see which approach is safer.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that continuing blood thinners during polyp removal is safe, reducing the risk of blood clots and strokes for patients.

This is a phase 4 trial, but results may not apply to all patients, and there is still a risk of bleeding or other complications.
