Trial Outcomes & Findings for TRial to EvaluAte Tranexamic Acid Therapy in Thrombocytopenia (NCT NCT03136445)
NCT ID: NCT03136445
Last Updated: 2025-10-28
Results Overview
The proportion of patients who die or have bleeding of WHO grade 2 or above by WHO criteria during the first 30 days from the first dose of trial treatment, or planned first dose for those participants who do not receive treatment. A time-to-event analysis will be used to determine this proportion to ensure that all patients are included in the primary outcome analysis, not just those who are followed up for the full 30 days. Any patients lost to follow-up will be included in the analysis and censored at the time that they were lost.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: The first 30 days from first dose of trial treatmentPopulation: Participants with primary outcome data reported
The proportion of patients who die or have bleeding of WHO grade 2 or above by WHO criteria during the first 30 days from the first dose of trial treatment, or planned first dose for those participants who do not receive treatment. A time-to-event analysis will be used to determine this proportion to ensure that all patients are included in the primary outcome analysis, not just those who are followed up for the full 30 days. Any patients lost to follow-up will be included in the analysis and censored at the time that they were lost.
