Tranexamic acid to reduce knee inflammation after ACL injury
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce swelling and protect knee cartilage after an ACL injury. It may help by limiting bleeding-related inflammation in the injured joint soon after injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if tranexamic acid can reduce inflammation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. It may help you heal with less swelling and pain.
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
This study tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps prevent bleeding) after total knee replacement can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. You would take the medicine for up to 7 days after surgery and answer a few daily questions.
This trial tests if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) pills for a week after knee replacement surgery helps reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions. You may qualify if you are having a planned first-time knee replacement with spinal anesthesia and are already scheduled for standard care.
