New study tests bleeding drug for Kids' spine surgery
NCT ID NCT07581457
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that reduces bleeding, is safe and effective for children aged 10-18 having surgery for idiopathic scoliosis. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two TXA dosing regimens or a placebo. The main goal is to measure total blood loss and the need for blood transfusions during and after surgery. The study is double-blind, meaning neither patients nor doctors know who gets TXA or placebo.
