Timing of Endoscopic Intervention in Patients With Cirrhosis With Acute Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage (TEACH Trial): a Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating endoscopic intervention for Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 412 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Acute variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage remains a hot potato in cirrhotic patients. The purpose of this study is to figure out whether urgent endoscopy (within 6h after gastroenterological consultation) is superior to non-urgent endoscopy (between 6h and 24h after gastroenterological consultation) in reducing rebleeding for these patients. This is a multi-centered, prospective, randomized, and controlled trial. 400 patients with suspected variceal bleeding will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive endoscopic intervention either within 6h or 6-24h. Randomization is conducted by permuted block randomization stratified by age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and pulse rate. The primary efficacy endpoint is rebleeding within 42 days after control of acute variceal hemorrhage. This trial will provide valuable insights into the efficacy between the urgent endoscopy group and the non-urgent endoscopy group.
