Could a simple gel stop bleeding after gut surgery?
NCT ID NCT05746884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether applying a special gel to the wound site after removing growths from the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) can lower the chance of serious bleeding. About 234 adults with large polyps will be randomly assigned to get the gel or standard care. The main goal is to see if fewer people in the gel group need a blood transfusion, hospital stay, or another procedure within 30 days.

- Active substance
- hemostatic gel
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this gel could become a standard way to prevent dangerous bleeding after certain duodenal procedures, reducing the need for blood transfusions or repeat hospital visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The gel may not reduce bleeding enough to be worth the extra cost or effort.
