Title: The efficacy of hemostatic powder TC-325 versus standard endoscopic treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding from malignancy; a multi-center randomized trial
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding arising from malignant tumors is increasingly recognized as a result of oncological advances and improved detection methods. However, conventional endoscopic hemostatic methods are not reliable to control bleeding. It has a trend to be an effective hemostasis method for active GI bleeding from tumor, however, in view of the lack of RCTs and large-scale studies, the efficacy of TC-325 is still inconclusive.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of TC325 in endoscopic hemostasis treatment for malignant gastrointestinal hemorrhage.The 24-hour, 72-hour, 30-day, 90-day and 180-day rebleeding rate were assessed as the outcomes of treatment as well as 6-month mortality.
Study design: Single-blinded, multi-center, randomized-control trial study The intervention (experimental) arm: TC-325 alone (define failure if continued bleeding despite application of 1 syringes) The control arm: Standard of (traditional) endoscopic treatments
** Crossover is possible. Inclusion criteria: Patients with acute upper or lower GIB from a lesion that is actively bleeding at index endoscopy (spurting or oozing) and is suspected to be malignant or diagnosed as malignancy from previous tissue diagnosis.
Exclusion criteria: Patients less than 18 years old, previously included in the trial, ECOG score 3 or 4, pregnancy/lactation, and/or bleeding from GI sources suspected of not being malignant. If an endoscopist is unsure of the malignant likelihood of the lesion, he/she will not be enrolled.
Sample size: 112 in total
Duration of participation for each volunteer: 180 days

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC-325 | Experimental | The intervention (experimental) arm patients are treated initially with TC-325 alone. Treatment failure for TC-325 is defined as endoscopists cannot achieve hemostasis with 1 syringe (20gm) of TC-325. |
|
| Traditional treatment (Control group) | Active Comparator | Control group patients initially receive usual standard of (traditional) endoscopic treatment (SET) as defined by injection therapy with another modality or sole/combination use of thermal or mechanical modalities. Crossovers to either treatment arm are permitted if immediate haemostasis does not achieved with standard endoscopic or TC-325 application.Treatment failure of SET is defined as endoscopists cannot achieve hemostasis by selected SET. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC-325 | Device | TC-325 compounds of inorganic, non-absorbable powder which acts locally at the mucosal tissue. When spraying the powder on to the blood, it will become a stable barrier sheet because of the effect of clotting factors accumulation and, then the normal healing process can be promoted. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy of TC-325 in preventing 30-day rebleeding following the index malignant hemorrhage: Rebleeding rate | Rebleeding rate | 30 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 1. To evaluate the efficacy of TC-325 in immediate hemostasis and rebleeding at 24 hours, 72 hours, 90 days and 180 days following presentation at initial bleeding episode as well as 6-month survival rate | Morbidity and mortality rate | 180 days |

At the time of initial early endoscopy, following fulfillment of patient and bleeding lesion eligibility, central randomization is carried out in a 1:1 ratio, in blocks of 4. The confidential centralized random numbers allocation is obtained by using REDCap (https://www.project-redcap.org/), a web based platform available to all participating centres. An independent staff member maintained the randomization numbers in sealed opaque envelopes. After obtaining a written informed from an eligible patient, the gastroenterologists who were blinded to the sequence of treatment opened the next numbered sealed envelope with treatment allocation.Randomization is stratified by location of bleed (upper versus lower GI tract), considering the lack of comparative outcomes data in the literature, thus balancing known and unknown confounding more completely

Due to the nature of the intervention and control arms, blinding of the endoscopist is not possible (visual clues as to the nature of endoscopic treatment are evident and no sham procedure can be delivered since both are active treatment groups). However, in order to minimize possible patient/observer bias, any research team member or investigator assessing the patient after the initial endoscopy and involved in data collection or analysis, as well as the patient, and research nurse will be blinded to treatment allocation.
