Scientific titleRandomised, double-blind, controlled study of the tranexamic acid prophylaxis efficacy on the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and postoperative bleeding in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery patients
Study acronymTX/02
Study objectivesWe hypothesised that the inhibition of fibrinolysis through the administration of tranexamic acid could reduce the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and postoperative bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the University Hospital of Canary Islands Ethics and Research Council on the 20th December 2001 (ref: 35/01).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSystemic inflammatory response syndrome
InterventionInfusions of either tranexamic acid or placebo (0.9% saline), with doses of 2 g pre- and post-cardiopulmonary bypass after protamine administration.

Follow-up continued until the patient was discharged from the hospital.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Tranexamic acid, protamine
Primary outcome measureTo investigate the efficacy of tranexamic acid in decreasing the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and postoperative bleeding.

Data was recorded preoperatively, after surgery, at Intensive Care Unit admission (0 hours), four hours and 24 hours.
Secondary outcome measuresTo investigate the efficacy of tranexamic acid to reduce excessive postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, according to the presence of different genotypes of the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1) gene.

Data was recorded preoperatively, after surgery, at Intensive Care Unit admission (0 hours), four hours and 24 hours.
