Tranexamic acid for bleeding in MDS and AML
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can reduce bleeding in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have very low platelet counts and are receiving less-intensive chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have MDS, a related bone marrow disorder, or acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- You are receiving low-intensity chemotherapy (not high-dose chemo or a transplant)
- Your platelet count is very low: 30 or less, or 50 or less before starting chemo
- You do not have a history of blood clots, heart disease, or severe kidney disease

This trial tests whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps reduce bleeding, can improve anaemia (low blood iron) in women with heavy periods. If you have anaemia and heavy menstrual bleeding, this treatment might help raise your iron levels.
This study tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can safely reduce heavy bleeding during periods for people who are taking blood thinners for a recent blood clot. It is a pilot study to see if a larger trial is possible.
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 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 study tests whether a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) can help control bleeding in trauma patients. It uses a special blood test (thromboelastography) to monitor how well your blood clots during treatment.
This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can safely reduce bleeding during adult liver transplant surgery.
