505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Tranexamic Acid

| New Dosage | NCT00588133 ↗ | A Preliminary Study of a New Tranexamic Acid Dosing Schedule for Cardiac Surgery | Completed | Mayo Clinic | Phase 3 | 2004-01-01 | Tranexamic acid is administered intravenously to prevent bleeding associated with cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass. We have developed an assay for tranexamic acid. We have developed an alternative dosing schedule for tranexamic acid. The objective of this preliminary study is to determine if this new dosing schedule can achieve the desired plasma concentration of tranexamic acid and reduce intra and inter patient variability in tranexamic acid plasma concentrations relative to the current dosing schedule. |
| OTC | NCT04550338 ↗ | Antiviral Effects of TXA as a Preventative Treatment Following COVID-19 Exposure | Withdrawn | University of Alabama at Birmingham | Phase 3 | 2021-08-01 | A recent report in Physiolological Reviews proposed that the endogenous protease plasmin acts on SARS-CoV-2 by cleaving a newly inserted furin site in the S protein portion of the virus resulting in increased infectivity and virulence. A logical treatment that might blunt this process would be the inhibition of the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Fortunately, there is an inexpensive, commonly used drug, tranexamic acid, TXA, which suppresses this conversion and could be re-purposed for the treatment of COVID-19. TXA is a synthetic analog of the amino acid lysine which reversibly binds four to five lysine receptor sites on plasminogen. This reduces conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, and is normally used to prevent fibrin degradation. TXA is FDA approved for the outpatient treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (typical dose 1300 mg p.o. TID x 5 days) and off-label use for many other indications. TXA is used perioperatively as a standard-of-care at UAB for orthopedic and cardiac bypass surgeries. It has a long track record of safety such that it is used over-the-counter in other countries as an antiviral and for the treatment of cosmetic dermatological disorders. Given the potential benefit and limited toxicity of TXA it would appear warranted to perform randomized, double-blind placebo controlled exploratory trial at UAB as a prophylactic antiviral treatment following exposure to COVID-19 in order to determine whether it reduces infectivity and virulence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as hypothesized. Involvement of each patient is only for 7 days before primary endpoints and 30 days for final data collection. |
| New Dosage | NCT05075200 ↗ | Tranexamic Acid Dosing for Major Joint Replacement Surgery | Not yet recruiting | Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre | Phase 2 | 2021-10-01 | Over 1.7 million hip and knee replacements are performed every year worldwide. These surgeries are associated with high blood loss and transfusion rates. In older patients, the high blood loss can result in postoperative anemia. Anemia is a condition where there is a lack of healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. This means, the patient may need a blood transfusion. This can result in different immune responses such as lung injury, fluid overload, and sepsis. The purpose of this study is to find an optimal dose of tranexamic acid (TXA) to be given during a hip or knee replacement surgery. TXA is one of the drugs given during surgery because it lowers the amount of bleeding and the risk of a blood transfusion. Individuals who are chosen to participate in the study will be split into two separate groups. After anesthesia is administered, study participant will be given the hospitals standard dose of TXA which is 20mg/kg. However, in patients with kidney problems and lower kidney functions, the dose will be lowered because TXA is filtered out of the body through the kidneys. Throughout the surgery and after it, patients will have about 30-50mL (3-5 tablespoons) of blood samples drawn at specific time points. This will be done through IV line which will stay in place during the surgery and post operation to minimize the amount of needle puncturing's. This study will help to development a new dosing guideline for TXA in patients who are undergoing joint replacement surgery. |

| NCT00111215 ↗ | Treatment and Management of Women With Bleeding Disorders | Completed | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | N/A | 2001-01-01 | The purpose of the study is to determine whether oral contraceptives, desmopressin acetate, and/or tranexamic acid are effective in the treatment of women with menorrhagia who are diagnosed with a bleeding disorder. |
| NCT00147862 ↗ | Does Tranexamic Acid Administration Reduce Blood Loss During Head and Neck Surgery? | Completed | Tata Memorial Hospital | Phase 3 | 2005-05-01 | To Study whether infusion of Tranexamic Acid (a synthetic antifibrinolytic agent) reduces blood loss during head and neck surgery. |
| NCT00279578 ↗ | Clot Formation and Clot Stability in Patients With Severe Haemophilia A | Completed | University of Aarhus | N/A | 2006-01-01 | In the present study we are examining the clot formation and clot stability in patients with severe haemophilia A after they receive recombinat factor VIII and after addition of tranexamic acid. Our hypothesis is that addition of tranexamic increases the clot stability. The perpective of the study is to document whether it is relevant to use traneksamic acid in surgery in patients with severe haemophilia A. |
| NCT00308880 ↗ | Tranexamic Acid and Head and Neck Surgery Patients | Unknown status | Taichung Veterans General Hospital | Phase 3 | 2006-03-01 | Tranexamic acid belongs to fibrinolytic inhibitors. Several prospective randomized clinical trials have proved its effectiveness in reducing intra-operative and post-operative bleeding in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries. However, there is little study about tranexamic acid in reducing post-operative bleeding in head and neck surgery. So the aim of this study is to investigate if tranexamic acid could reduce post-operative bleeding via prospective double-blinded randomized clinic trial. |
