Tranexamic acid to prevent heavy bleeding after planned C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called tranexamic acid before a planned C-section can reduce the risk of severe bleeding after birth. It is for women who are otherwise healthy and expecting a single baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby only (no twins or more).
- You are having a planned (elective) cesarean section.
- You are at low risk for heavy bleeding after birth — for example, you have not had heavy bleeding with a past pregnancy.
- You do not have a bleeding or clotting disorder.
- You do not have serious medical conditions (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease) or complications like placenta previa.

This trial tests whether giving a medicine called tranexamic acid before a cesarean section (c-section) can help reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery. It may be an option for women having either a planned or unplanned c-section.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can prevent postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after delivery) in people having a planned C-section or likely vaginal delivery after 34 weeks. It may help lower the risk of dangerous bleeding around the time of birth.
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce bleeding during weight loss surgery. If you are having a sleeve gastrectomy or mini-gastric bypass, taking TXA may lower your risk of hemorrhagic events.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can prevent heavy bleeding after delivery in women who are at higher risk. If it works, it may lower the chance of serious postpartum bleeding and related complications.
This trial tests whether giving tranexamic acid during a C-section can reduce the risk of heavy bleeding after childbirth. It may help women who have certain risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
