Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Clinical Trial

Official title:
Metoclopramide, Azithromycin, or Nondrug Pretreatment for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding to Reduce Second Endoscopy

Clinical Trial Summary

Early endoscopy is an integral part of the management plan for patients presenting with clinical signs of severe or ongoing UGIB. An accurate endoscopic diagnosis and successful endoscopic hemostasis is highly dependent on adequate visualization of the entire gastric mucosa. Metoclopramide has previously been investigated as a prokinetic agent to aid gastric emptying prior to endoscopy, but its widespread adoption is limited by a lack of high quality clinical evidence as well as concerns regarding side effects. Erythromycin is currently the only prokinetic agent recommended by the American and the European guidelines for use in selected patients in order to reduce the need for second endoscopy. Its clinical application, however, is limited by risk of arrhythmia, significant drug interactions, and frequent drug shortages. Azithromycin is structurally related to erythromycin, but is devoid of most adverse side effects associated with erythromycin use. Early evidence suggests that azithromycin may be an effective alternative to erythromycin in the treatment of gastroparesis. The current study, an interventional, randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial, is primarily aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of azithromycin as a prokinetic agent in the management of UGIB. It is also aimed to further evaluate the role of metoclopramide as a prokinetic agent in this setting. Outcome measures to be collected in this study include the need for secondary endoscopy, overall mortality, transfusion requirement, length of stay, requirement for surgery, and incidence of adverse side effects. Results from this study would help identify a safe, effective, and readily available prokinetic agent to be used prior to endoscopy.
