Tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding in TURP surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during TURP surgery for an enlarged prostate. It is only for men aged 50+ who are already scheduled for this operation and are not at high risk for blood clots or other complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are male and 50 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
- You are scheduled for a TURP surgery under spinal anesthesia
- You are in generally good health (ASA class I to III – your doctor determines this)
- You cannot have a history of blood clots, stroke, or seizures
- You cannot be on blood thinners or have kidney problems

This trial tests whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, reduces bleeding during aquablation surgery for an enlarged prostate. If you are a man scheduled for aquablation, this study may help improve your safety and recovery.
This trial tests if giving tranexamic acid (TXA) during urethroplasty (surgery to fix a narrowed urethra) helps reduce bleeding. It may help patients who are having this surgery for a urethral stricture.
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.
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce the need for blood transfusions during major abdominal surgeries. It's for people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, or liver.
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 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.
