TRanexamic

Summary: Over half of women in the US who are breastfeeding their infants take prescription drugs. You are being asked to participate in this study because you are breastfeeding your infant and are currently taking, as part of your medical care, at least one of the drugs we are studying. We are interested in studying drugs commonly prescribed to women who are breastfeeding so we can learn more about the am...

Summary: This single-centre, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative photobiomodulation (PBM) with red and infrared wavelengths in reducing periorbital edema in patients undergoing rhinoplasty. Sixty participants will be randomized to receive either active PBM or sham PBM one hour before surgery. The primary outcome is periorbital edema on post...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the effect tranexamic acid (TXA) may have on reducing bruising, swelling, and pain after facial filler injection. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does the addition of TXA to hyaluronic acid (HA) reduce bruising, swelling, and tenderness after HA injection? Participants will receive the study medication along with the standard facial filler in...

Summary: In part 1 of the study, the investigators conducted a prospective, open-label, dose finding pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 43 pregnant 3rd trimester women scheduled for non-emergent cesarean section. The investigators administered three doses of the drug (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) in an escalating fashion by cohort with the lowest dose first. The drug was administered intravenously at the tim...

Summary: Chronic subdural hematomas (CSH) are collections of blood in the subdural space. CSH are becoming the most common cranial neurosurgical condition among adults, and a significant public health problem, due to an increasing use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication in an ageing population. Symptomatic CSH, or CSH with a significant mass effect, are treated surgically. However, recurrences are...

Summary: Primary Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe and disabling disease. The hematoma will expand within the first few hours, which contributes to increasing brain injury and worsening neurological prognosis. Hence, one of ICH's main acute therapeutic strategies is to reduce hematoma expansion (HE) with hemostatic agents like tranexamic acid (TXA) or recombinant factor VIIa. However, although mos...

Summary: This multicenter, pragmatic randomized, open-label clinical trial aims to assess whether Tranexamic Acid improves outcomes in adult patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. The participants presenting within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms of stroke with intracerebral haemorrhage confirmed on Computed Tomography (CT Scan) will be randomized into two groups in a 1:1 ratio using a cen...

Summary: This study aims to evaluate whether tranexamic acid (TXA), a medication that helps reduce bleeding, can decrease fluid drainage after breast reduction surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous TXA or no TXA during surgery. Additionally, one breast will receive TXA through the surgical drain, while the other will receive saline. This approach allows to compare th...

Summary: This is a drug study that will examine if inhaled tranexamic acid can improve mortality in patients with cancer-related pulmonary hemorrhage and respiratory failure as compared to usual care.

Summary: Colonoscopy with polypectomy reduces the incidence and mortality associated with colon cancer. However, polypectomy is associated with adverse events such as bleeding. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic derivative of lysine that exerts antifibrinolytic effects and may prevent bleeding. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of local TXA on preventing intraprocedural and postprocedural blee...

Summary: As tranexamic acid (TXA) becomes more prevalent, all patients are receiving the same dose and method of delivery regardless of their pre-operative risk of transfusion. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine whether or not repeated dosing of oral or different method of delivery like intravenous (IV) TXA reduces the postoperative reduction in hemoglobin, hematocrit, number of transfusions, ...

Summary: It is hypothesized that a strategy using prophylactic oral and intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) with therapeutic platelet transfusions (if required) is safe and more effective than prophylactic platelet transfusions in patients undergoing an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
