New treatment option for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Official title TRAnexamic Acid for Preventing Blood Loss Following a Cesarean Delivery in Women With Placenta pREVIA
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04304625
What this study is testing
What is Tranexamic Acid / Sodium chloride?
Tranexamic Acid / Sodium chloride is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for postpartum hemorrhage.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Several randomized, controlled trials, mostly involving women undergoing cesarean delivery, have shown that the prophylactic intravenous administration of 1 g of tranexamic acid after childbirth reduced blood loss. Most were small, single-centre trials with considerable methodologic limitations.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
