Can a common drug stop dangerous gut bleeding?

NCT ID NCT03540368

Summary

This study tested whether adding an injection called tranexamic acid to standard care helps control bleeding in the stomach or intestines. It involved 48 adults with active gastrointestinal bleeding, who were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo (inactive solution) in addition to their usual treatments. The main goal was to see if the drug reduced the chance of bleeding starting again within 28 days.
