Simplified tranexamic acid dosing for major bleeding after injury
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a simpler way to give a drug called tranexamic acid to trauma patients with heavy bleeding. The drug helps blood clot and may reduce bleeding, but it is important to check if the simplified approach is as safe as the standard one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine that helps blood clot, reduces death and disability in children who have bleeding after a severe injury. It is given within 3 hours of the injury, and could help children with head or torso trauma who are at risk of serious bleeding.
This study tests whether adding the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) to a massive blood transfusion helps control life-threatening bleeding in children who are severely injured. It compares two groups: one gets TXA and the other gets a placebo (a dummy drug with no active ingredient).
This study tests whether giving a blood-clot-reducing medicine (TXA) early after an adult hip fracture helps reduce bleeding and related problems around surgery. It may help some patients getting operative fixation by improving safety during recovery.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can improve outcomes after a spontaneous (not caused by injury) brain bleed. It is designed for adults who arrive soon after stroke symptoms start and meet several safety and timing requirements.
This trial tests a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) given right before major colorectal surgery to see if it helps reduce bleeding. If it works, it could make surgery safer for people like you.
