What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tranexamic acid injectionDrug

    will inject tranexamic acid in limb salvage surgery of sarcoma patient to check its efficacy in preventing blood loss

  • normal salineOther

    normal saline will be injected to ensure placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. blood loss

    measure by hemoglobin direct method

    Measured: 72 hour post operatively

  2. no of blood transfused

    measured by number of transfusion

    Measured: 72 hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. duration of hospital stay

    Total days of hospital admission 2 months after surgery

    Measured: total hospital stay post operatively for 02 month

  2. volume of drain out put

    to measure blood collected in drain bottle

    Measured: measure till drain out in 72 hour

  3. thromboembolic events

    look for limb swelling for deep vein thrombosis and chest symptoms for any embolic event confirmed by CT chest

    Measured: observed for 6 week determine on out patient visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Tranexamic acid injection and normal saline in people with Blood Loss, Surgical, run by Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 6 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 28 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 muhammad bilal shafiq, fcps (+923323286687 ext. 8018, bilalshafiq@skm.org.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

blood loss (time frame: 72 hour post operatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Mar 2023.
