First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called tranexamic acid can lower the risk of serious bleeding or death in people with blood cancers who have very low platelet counts. Over 600 adults receiving chemotherapy or a stem cell transplant were given either the drug or a placebo. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce the need for platelet transfusions and improve safety.
