About this study

Official title: The Effects of High Doze Tranexamic Acid Application on Hemorrhage, Blood Transfusion, Fibrin Degradation Products, and Kidney Functions for Total Hip Arthroplasty

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of tranexamic acid on hemorrhage, blood transfusion, fibrin degradation products and kidney functions for total hip arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Orthopedic surgery may be associated with substantial blood loss requiring transfusion of erythrocytes.Transfusion of allogeneic erythrocytes is not free of adverse events and has been associated with transmission of infectious diseases, increased postoperative bacterial infection, immune sensitization, and transfusion related acute lung injury. Measures taken to allay concerns about the safety of blood transfusions have translated into the increasing cost of allogeneic blood units. Blood banks regularly undergo blood shortages. For these reasons, there is a need to reduce allogeneic blood transfusions. A number of effective interventions have been developed, such as preoperative autologous donation, cell salvage, or the use of erythropoietin. Pharmacologic agents such as aprotinin, tranexamic acid, or epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) could reduce perioperative blood loss by interfering with fibrinolysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing tranexamic acid and serum physiologic in people with Hemorrhage, run by TC Erciyes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact seher orbay yasli, resident (+905052401933, sehersin81@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hemorrhage (time frame: intraoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2014.
