Goal-directed vs. Empirical Tranexamic Acid Administrationin

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The present study is a multi-center randomized prospective placebo-controlled non-inferiority trial. The study's primary objective is to compare the amounts of postoperative bleeding using two different TXA administration strategies: empirical TXA administration vs. viscoelastic test-based goal-directed TXA administration in cardiovascular surgery. The secondary objectives include comparing the incidents of hyper-fibrinolysis, thromboembolic complications, and postoperative seizures. Researchers assumed that goal-directed tranexamic acid (TXA) administration using viscoelastic field tests would not be inferior to the empirical TXA administration strategy in reducing postoperative bleeding and hyper-fibrinolysis. It also would be beneficial in lowering TXA-induced thromboembolic complications and seizures.

Clinical Trial Description

The present study is a multi-center randomized prospective placebo-controlled non-inferiority trial. This study's primary objective is to compare the amounts of postoperative bleeding during postoperative 24 hours through chest tube drainage using two different tranexamic acid (TXA) administration strategies: empirical TXA administration vs. viscoelastic test-based goal-directed TXA administration in cardiovascular surgery. The secondary objectives include determining the inter-group differences in hyper-fibrinolysis, thromboembolic complications, and postoperative seizures. Researchers hypothesized that goal-directed TXA administration using viscoelastic field tests would not be inferior to the empirical TXA administration strategy in reducing postoperative bleeding and hyper-fibrinolysis. Researchers also expect that goal-directed TXA administration would be beneficial in lowering TXA-induced thromboembolic complications and seizure risks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
