Detailed Description

The POISE-3 study is a 10,000 patient, multicentre, international, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of a perioperative hypotension-avoidance versus hypertension-avoidance strategy. The primary objective of the study is to determine; if TXA is superior to placebo for the occurrence of life-threatening, major, and critical organ bleeding, and non-inferior to placebo for the occurrence of major arterial and venous thrombotic event; and to determine the impact of a hypotension-avoidance strategy versus a hypertension-avoidance strategy on the risk of vascular death and major vascular events in patients who are followed for 30 days after noncardiac surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Tranexamic Acid (TXA)
Patients will receive a 1g loading dose of intravenous TXA before surgery and a 1g loading dose of intravenous TXA at the end of surgery (wound closure).
Within 20 minutes preceding the anticipated skin incision, patients will receive intravenous TXA at a loading dose of 1g over 10 minutes, with a second 1g bolus given at the end of surgery when closing the wound.
Other Names:
  • TXA
Placebo Comparator: Placebo (0.9% normal saline)
Patients will receive a 1g loading dose of placebo (0.9% normal saline) before surgery and a 1g loading dose of placebo (0.9% normal saline) at the end of surgery (wound closure).
Within 20 minutes preceding the anticipated skin incision, patients will receive intravenous placebo (0.9% normal saline) at a loading dose of 1g over 10 minutes, with a second 1g bolus given at the end of surgery when closing the wound.
Other Names:
  • saline
Active Comparator: Hypotension-avoidance strategy
Aims to avoid hypotension before surgery (preoperative), during surgery (intraoperative) and for the first 2 days after the day of surgery (postoperative).

Perioperative hypotension-avoidance strategy includes:

  1. Preoperative algorithm that only continues some antihypertensive medications in a stepwise manner for systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg before surgery,
  2. Intraoperative blood pressure targeting a mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥80 mm Hg
  3. Postoperative algorithm that only continues some antihypertensive medications in a stepwise manner for systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg during the first 48 hours after surgery.
Placebo Comparator: Perioperative hypertension-avoidance strategy
Aims to avoid hypertension before surgery (preoperative), during surgery (intraoperative) and for the first 2 days after the day of surgery (postoperative).
Perioperative hypertension-avoidance strategy (i.e., routine care) continues all antihypertensive drugs before and after surgery and an intraoperative BP strategy targeting a MAP ≥60 mm Hg.
