Early Administration Of Tranexamic Acid And Acute Blood Loss In Patients

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a prospective, randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled trial that aims to investigate the hypothesis that early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) following diagnosis of hip fracture will lower pre and postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates. Patients who present to the hospital with a hip fracture will be recruited and randomized into two treatment arms. The treatment group will receive 1950mg of oral TXA (three tablets, 650 mg each) and the control group will be given three tablets of oral placebo while in the Emergency Department. Patients will then be admitted to the Orthopaedic Trauma service and treated surgically with cephalomedullary nail, hemiarthroplasty, sliding hip screw, percutaneous screws, or total hip arthroplasty.

Clinical Trial Description

There remains a high incidence of blood transfusion in patients following hip fractures. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has well-studied efficacy in decreasing blood loss and transfusion requirements in the context of general trauma, as well as several elective orthopaedic procedures. Although blood is lost in hip fracture surgery itself, it is also known that there is significant blood loss pre-operatively following the hip fracture event, particularly in extracapsular hip fractures. A prospective, randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled trial will elucidate the roll of early administration of TXA in a population of patients who sustain hip fractures. The study aims to investigate the hypothesis that early administration of TXA following diagnosis of hip fracture will lower pre and postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates. There will be two treatment arms in the study. The treatment group will be given 1950mg of oral TXA (3 tablets, 650mg each) in the emergency department following diagnosis of hip fracture. Those randomized to the control group will be given 3 tablets of oral placebo in the emergency department following diagnosis of hip fracture. Patients will then be admitted to the Orthopaedic Trauma service and treated surgically with cephalomedullary nail, hemiarthroplasty, sliding hip screw, percutaneous screws, or total hip arthroplasty. ;

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.
