Patients may experience persistent GI bleeding, anemia, recurrent blood transfusions, impaired quality of life, and repeated invasive procedures. Existing treatments, including argon plasma coagulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and supportive medical management, have variable efficacy, limited availability, and may be associated with substantial cost or procedure-related risks.\n\nSodium copper chlorophyllin (CHL) is a semi-synthetic chlorophyll derivative that activates the Nrf2 pathway and has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and radioprotective properties in preclinical studies. Early-phase clinical studies have shown a favorable safety profile and encouraging efficacy in radiation-induced toxicities, including hemorrhagic cystitis, supporting further evaluation in radiation-induced GI bleeding.\n\nThis is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III superiority trial.
