Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a multicentre, international, randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy.


Description:

The POISE-3 study is a 10,000 patient, multicentre, international, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy. The primary objective of the study is to determine; if TXA is superior to placebo for the occurrence of life-threatening, major, and critical organ bleeding, and non-inferior to placebo for the occurrence of major arterial and venous thrombotic event; and to determine the impact of a hypotension-avoidance strategy versus a hypertension-avoidance strategy on the risk of vascular death and major vascular events in patients who are followed for 30 days after noncardiac surgery.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Tranexamic Acid
Within 20 minutes preceding the anticipated skin incision, patients will receive intravenous TXA at a loading dose of 1g over 10 minutes, with a second 1g bolus given at the end of surgery when closing the wound.
Placebo (Saline)
Within 20 minutes preceding the anticipated skin incision, patients will receive intravenous placebo (0.9% normal saline) at a loading dose of 1g over 10 minutes, with a second 1g bolus given at the end of surgery when closing the wound.
Other:
Perioperative hypotension-avoidance strategy
Perioperative hypotension-avoidance strategy includes: Preoperative algorithm that only continues some antihypertensive medications in a stepwise manner for systolic BP =130 mm Hg before surgery, Intraoperative blood pressure targeting a mean arterial pressure (MAP) =80 mm Hg Postoperative algorithm that only continues some antihypertensive medications in a stepwise manner for systolic BP =130 mm Hg during the first 48 hours after surgery.
Perioperative hypertension-avoidance strategy
Perioperative hypertension-avoidance strategy (i.e., routine care) continues all antihypertensive drugs before and after surgery and an intraoperative BP strategy targeting a MAP =60 mm Hg.
