About this study

Official title: Comparison of Viscoelastic Test-guided and Preemptive Tranexamic Acid Administration Strategies in High-risk Non-cardiac Surgery

The present study is a multi-center randomized prospective non-inferiority trial. The study's primary objective is to compare the coagulation profile upon using two different TXA administration strategies: empirical TXA administration vs. viscoelastic test-based goal-directed TXA administration in high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The secondary objectives include comparing the amount of bleeding, incidents of hyper-fibrinolysis, thromboembolic complications, and postoperative seizures. Researchers assumed that goal-directed tranexamic acid (TXA) administration using viscoelastic field tests would not be inferior to the empirical TXA administration strategy in reducing postoperative bleeding and hyper-fibrinolysis. It also would be beneficial in lowering TXA-induced thromboembolic complications and seizures.

The present study is a multi-center randomized prospective placebo-controlled non-inferiority trial. This study's primary objective is to compare the coagulation profile upon using two different TXA administration strategies: empirical TXA administration vs. viscoelastic test-based goal-directed TXA administration in non-cardiac surgery. The secondary objectives include determining the inter-group differences in hyper-fibrinolysis, during postoperative 2bleeding, thromboembolic complications, and postoperative seizures. Researchers hypothesized that goal-directed TXA administration using viscoelastic field tests would not be inferior to the empirical TXA administration strategy in reducing postoperative bleeding and hyper-fibrinolysis. Researchers also expect that goal-directed TXA administration would be beneficial in lowering TXA-induced thromboembolic complications and seizure risks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing TXA and TEG6 in people with Arthritis Knee and Spine Fusion, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 14 May 2024. 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 South Korea. 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 Tae-Yop Kim (+82 10 8811 6942, taeyop@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CRT maximal amplitude (time frame: 24 hours). 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 14 May 2024.
