About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Reducing Requirement of Blood Transfusion in Lower Limb Trauma Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
This study was done to evaluate the efficacy of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in reducing blood transfusion requirement in patients of lower limb trauma undergoing surgery.
Read the detailed description
This was a single centre, parallel group, prospective randomized control study. 116 patients of lower limb trauma presented between April 2017 to August 2018 at Civil Hospital Rajpura. 16 patients were excluded due to old fracture, percutaneous wire fixation or non-consenting patient. The remaining 100 patients were randomized into two groups. 50 patients were given 1 gram of TXA before surgery and 50 patients were not given TXA. Fall in Hb, requirement of blood transfusion, number of days admitted in the hospital after surgery and evidence of deep vein thrombosis were monitored.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Tranexamic acid injection and Normal Saline in people with Tranexamic Acid and Trauma, run by Jaspreet Singh at 1 site in India.
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 6 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 3 Aug 2021. 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 India. 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?
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?
Requirement of number of units of blood transfusion (time frame: Average of 15 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04986813, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 3 Aug 2021.
