Evolution of Thromboelastography During Tranexamic Acid Treatment (TTRAP-Bleeding)

May 4, 2023 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne

Study of Thromboelastography During Tranexamic Acid Treatment in Preventing Bleeding in Patients With Haematological Malignancies Presenting Severe Thrombocytopenia (TTRAP-bleeding)

Patients with hematological malignancies are at increased risk of bleeding, especially during intensive chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to compare by thromboelastography changes during the intensive chemotherapy in patients with hematological malignancies.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with hematological malignancies often develop low platelet counts either as a consequence of the disease or the treatment by chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation. Platelet transfusions are commonly given to raise any low platelet count and reduce the risk of clinical bleeding (prophylaxis) or stop active bleeding (therapy). The last studies have showed that many patients continue to experience bleeding, despite the use of platelet transfusions. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent. It reduces the breakdown of clots formed. This treatment is widely used in medicine (e.g. emergency, surgery, post-partum) and decreases blood loss and the use of red cell transfusions. The purpose of this study is to test different doses of tranexamic acid (full dose: 3g/day and half dose (1.5g/day) and to study its effect by thromboelastography, with the aim to determine the optimal posology for further clinical studies.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
