Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Enrolled patients will ingest one gram of oral tranexamic acid at least 1 hour prior to the procedure (dental or endoscopic) and blood will be collected immediately before and 4 hours post ingestion. Plasma samples will be prepared and stored for evaluation of fibrinolysis utilising contemporary clot lysis assay. Correlation of the results will be made with clinical bleeding as reported by the proceduralist who are blinded to the results.
Tranexamic acid administration will be supervised, only one dose will be given to control and patient group.
Intervention code [1] 291262 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Healthy volunteer subjects will also take a oral dose of one gram of tranexamic acid and have similar plasma samples collected at 2, 4 and 8 hours post ingestion..
They will not be undergoing an invasive procedure.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 294387 0
We aim to evaluate the impact of TXA on functional fibrionolysis by enrolling patients with hereditary bleeding disorders and healthy controls into the proposed study.

In this study we will examine the rate of clot lysis using the new clot lysis assay. The principle of this turbidometric assay is continuous monitoring of clot formation and lysis by light transmission at 405 nm in a 96 well plate.
Timepoint [1] 294387 0
Baseline and at 4 hours after ingestion of 1 gram of Tranexamic acid for patient group and baseline, 2, 4 and 8 hours for control group.
Secondary outcome [1] 313639 0
NA
