About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 2-Way Crossover Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BXP154B (Tranexamic Acid Sterile Topical Solution) in the Treatment of External Bleeding From Minor Wounds in Subjects on Apixaban

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the study drug, BXP154B works to stop bleeding from a minor wound in patients that are on apixaban for anticoagulant therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How long does it take to stop bleeding after BXP154B is applied to a wound?
  • How many people require the use of a rescue treatment to stop bleeding?
  • Does BXP154B reduce instances of re-bleeding after the bleeding has stopped initially?
  • Is BXP154B safe and well-tolerated?
Read the detailed description

Oral anticoagulant-related clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding (CRNMB; i.e., non-major bleeding that requires medical intervention, increased level of care, or face-to-face evaluation) and minor bleeding, often referred to as 'nuisance' bleeding, carries a high burden in terms of patient discomfort, anxiety, temporary disability, and reduced quality of life, and strain on medical and socioeconomic resources. Prolonged bleeding following minor injuries (falls, scrapes, cuts) can be life-interrupting and frequently leads patients to seek medical care, often times in an urgent care or emergency department (ED) setting. Prolonged bleeding from minor injuries is a significant challenge to daily life for people on anticoagulants, and is anything but 'minor' to the patient.

Bio 54, LLC, is developing BXP154B, a topical agent intended for self-administration (in or outside the home) to treat external bleeding from minor wounds in patients on anticoagulants. The development of BXP154B will offer patients on anticoagulants a much-needed treatment for self-management of external bleeding from minor wounds at home.

BXP154-201 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover-design study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BXP154B (6 mL) compared with volume-matched placebo in the treatment of bleeding following punch biopsy in subjects on apixaban.

Subjects will be enrolled in this clinical trial for a total of seven days, following a screening period of up to 28 days. The study commences on Day 1 with a skin punch biopsy and administration of the investigational drug or placebo. Subsequently, follow-up assessments will be conducted on Days 2, 3, and 4. A second skin punch biopsy will be performed on Day 4, followed by additional follow-up assessments on Days 5, 6, and 7. Upon completion of the Day 7 assessments, subjects will have fulfilled their involvement in the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BXP154B and Punch Biopsy in people with Wound Bleeding, run by Bio 54, LLC at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2025. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to achieve hemostasis (in minutes) following start of treatment (time frame: 60 minutes following start of treatment). 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 18 Mar 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
