About this study
Official title: Effects of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid During Rhytidectomy - a Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind Pilot Study
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind study investigating whether intravenous tranexamic acid has any effect on rhytidectomy surgery, or the subsequent postoperative sequelae. Intraoperative bleeding and postoperative ecchymosis and edema are subjectively rated and complications are noted.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind pilot study investigating whether intravenous tranexamic acid has any effect on rhytidectomy surgery, or the subsequent postoperative sequelae. Intraoperative bleeding is rated on a scale of mild, moderate, or severe and given a score of 1-3. Postoperative ecchymosis and edema are subjectively rated by both patient and surgeon on postoperative days 1, 6, and 9 using a similar mild/moderate/severe scale and scored 1-3, respectively. Any surgical or postoperative complications are noted. Scores are aggregated for statistical analysis.

A Phase 4 study testing Tranexamic Acid 100Mg/Ml Inj Vil 10Ml and Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution Bag in people with Bleeding and Bruising Face, run by Glasgold Group Plastic Surgery 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 31 May 2019. 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. 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 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 Mark J Glasgold, MD (732-846-6540, mglasgold@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Intraoperative bleeding (time frame: Surgical time). The study lists 7 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 31 May 2019.
