Blood cancer bleeding breakthrough? TXA trial aims to cut hospitalizations
NCT ID NCT06599762
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that prevents blood clots from breaking down, can safely reduce bleeding in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 75 outpatients receiving less-intensive chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to take TXA or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers the risk and severity of bleeding, which could improve quality of life and reduce hospital visits.
