Trial summary

In recent years, the lysine analogs tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained wide use in cardiac surgery as a blood-sparing agent. However, the safety of the drug and its impact on overall outcomes of cardiac surgery remains debated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dose Effect of Tranexamic Acid on the Incidence of Deep Venous Thrombus in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

In recent years, the lysine analogs tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained wide use in cardiac surgery as a blood-sparing agent. However, the safety of the drug and its impact on overall outcomes of cardiac surgery remains debated. The current study evaluates the dose effect of TXA on the incidence of deep venous thrombus (DVT) in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Also, the dose effect of TXA on bleeding and allogeneic transfusion is evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of deep venous thrombosis

    Defined as the incidence of new-onset deep venous thrombosis postoperatively diagnosed by ultrasound

    Measured: Within 7 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The rate of new-onset thrombotic events

    Thrombotic events include ischemic stroke, renal failure, myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism

    Measured: Within 90 days postoperatively

  2. The rate of allogeneic RBC transfusion

    Allogeneic blood product includes packed red blood cell

    Measured: Within 30 days postoperatively

  3. The volume of allogeneic RBC transfusion

    Allogeneic blood product includes packed red blood cell

    Measured: Within 30 days postoperatively

  4. Length of stay in ICU and hospital

    The time interval between the end of the operation and the discharge from ICU or the hospital.

    Measured: Within 90 days postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tranexamic Acid in people with Thromboses, Deep Vein and Tranexamic Acid Adverse Reaction, run by SHI Jia at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 12 Feb 2019. 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 China. 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. 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 Jia Shi, M.D. (86 10 88322467, shiandypumc@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of deep venous thrombosis (time frame: Within 7 days postoperatively). 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 12 Feb 2019.
