About this study

Official title: Tranexamic Acid Versus Placebo for the Reduction of Blood Loss in Total Hip Replacement Surgery - Randomized, Controlled and Double-masked Trial

The bleeding caused by hip replacement surgery (CRT) is an important source of demand for blood in the hospital. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a drug that has proved useful in reducing bleeding associated with other surgeries and CRT results have been positive, but the variety of dosages difficult to evaluate the results To determine the efficacy and safety of TXA in reducing bleeding caused by surgery of total hip replacement.

PATIENTS: Patients ASA(American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-III that they are to perform hip replacement surgery and cementless unilateral total that have signed the informed consent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing A, B and C in people with Hip Replacement, Total, run by Basque Health Service at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 7 Feb 2013. 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 Spain. 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. 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?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

blood loss (ml) (time frame: 4 hours). The study lists 3 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 7 Feb 2013.
