Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Tranexamic acid reduces fibrinolysis by slowing down the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which may prevent bleeding. Although this medication is used extensively for other purposes, it has not been studied before to prevent post-polypectomy bleeding.
This pilot study will examine factors involved in the feasibility of conducting a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT). This pilot study will include 25 consecutive patients who are treated with tranexamic acid after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCP's) to prevent PPDB.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Tranexamic Acid
Intra-procedural tranexamic acid (TXA) - 1 gram, IV
Post-procedural tranexamic acid (TXA) - 1 gram, oral, three times per day for 5 days
Tranexamic Acid Injection [Cyklokapron]
Intra-procedurally, participants will receive 1 gram of intravenous tranexamic acid immediately following the polypectomy. Participants will also take oral tranexamic acid tablets (three times per day) at home for the five days following the procedure.
