Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Advanced endoscopic resection techniques such as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) have provided a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for curative management of advanced mucosal neoplasia. The safety profile and outcomes of EMR techniques are significantly better than surgical resection however significant post resection bleeding remains an ongoing challenge. There is currently no consistently recommended strategy to reduce the risk of post-EMR bleeding that has been adopted as standard of care. In particular, patients on antithrombotic therapy are at high risk of post procedure bleeding and strategies to mitigate this are required.
A recently introduced haemostatic gel (Purastat, 3D-Matrix) that acts as a self assembling nanoparticle matrix has demonstrated efficacy as a topical haemostat in controlling oozing bleeding in a number of anatomical locations including applications in ENT, Gynaecology, and endoscopy.
The haemostatic gel will be applied to the post EMR mucosal defect to consecutive eligible, consenting patients undergoing endoscopic mucosal resection who are on anti-thrombotic therapy (excluding single agent aspirin) or multiple agents. We will be applying aliquots of 1-5mLs of the gel matrix; the exact amount will be determined by the size of the defect remaining post excision of the target lesion. Gel will be applied endoscopically at the time of the procedure via the proceduralist until the entire defect has been covered - this is considered the one and only time the gel will be delivered.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322269 0
Rate of clinically significant post-procedural bleeding requiring further intervention (such as blood transfusion, admission to hospital, or other blood products (such as platelets, fresh frozen plasma, prothrombinex)
This will be assessed clinically by the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding (such as per-rectal bleeding) where patients were given blood products as documented in the medical record.
Timepoint [1] 322269 0
30 days post endoscopic procedure
Secondary outcome [1] 377957 0
Procedure related adverse events. This is a composite of
- delayed perforation (as identified on imaging such as CT or MRI, or surgically)
- procedure related hospitalisation
- Procedure related death (where the death is a direct result of the procedure or a complication of the procedure)
These will be assessed via review of the medical record for documented evidence of any of the adverse events mentioned above.
Timepoint [1] 377957 0
30 days post endoscopic procedure
Secondary outcome [2] 378014 0
Procedure outcome (successful EMR) - as determined by the proceduralist as complete resection of the target lesion(s). This is determined at the time of the procedure by the endoscopist and will be documented in the procedure report.
Timepoint [2] 378014 0
30 days post endoscopic procedure
Secondary outcome [3] 380179 0
Haemostatic gel measure;
- volume of gel applied

This will be the total volume of gel (mLs) applied during the procedure and this may be corrected for the size of the defect (mLs per squared centimentre). These measures will be provided in the procedure report.
Timepoint [3] 380179 0
Day of procedure (day 0)
Secondary outcome [4] 380180 0
Haemostatic gel measures;
- time of gel being applied +/- sec/mL of gel

This will be the total time that was needed to apply the gel during the endoscopic procedure, measured in seconds. This may be corrected for the amount of gel applied (seconds per mL). These measures will be provided in the procedure report.
Timepoint [4] 380180 0
Day of procedure (day 0)
Secondary outcome [5] 380181 0
Haemostatic gel measures;
- successful application to entire post-EMR defects

Binary (yes/no outcome) as determined by the endoscopist at the time of the procedure and documented in the procedure report.
