Tranexamic acid to prevent bleeding in spine surgery for lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce bleeding during surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the spine. It may be an option if you have a single tumor in your spine and are having separation surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lung cancer that has spread to one spot in your middle or lower back (thoracolumbar spine).
- There is only one tumor, and it affects just one bone or disc space in your spine.
- You are scheduled for a type of spine surgery called a separation surgery.
- Your blood clotting is normal (no bleeding disorders).
- You are not allergic to tranexamic acid.

This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can safely reduce bleeding during adult liver transplant surgery.
This study looks at how the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) works in the body during and after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to find the best dose to help control bleeding without increasing the risk of blood clots.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can reduce blood loss during long spine surgery after an injury. It may help lower the chance of needing transfusions and manage surgical bleeding.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during major spine fusion surgery for adults with scoliosis or spine degeneration. It may help lessen blood loss and the need for transfusions, while monitoring safety.
This trial tests if a medicine applied directly to the spine during a common type of back surgery (MI-TLIF) can reduce the amount of fluid that needs to be drained afterward. Tranexamic acid (TXA) helps blood clot, so using it this way may help you heal with less drainage.
This trial studies whether giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) during planned lower-back decompression surgery can lower blood loss or related complications. It compares patients who receive the infusion during surgery to those who meet study procedures and safety requirements.
