Tranexamic Acid for the Treatment of Significant Traumatic Brain Injury: an International Randomised, Double Blind Placebo Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Tranexamic Acid for Traumatic Brain Injury. Completed, enrolled 12,737 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The CRASH-3 trial will provide reliable evidence about the effect of tranexamic acid on mortality and disability in patients with traumatic brain injury. The effect of tranexamic acid on the risk of vascular occlusive events and seizures will also be assessed. Additionally, a nested study will be conducted in a subset of CRASH-3 trial participants. This nested study (CRASH-3 Intracranial Bleeding Sub-Study \[CRASH-3 IBS\]) will examine the effect of tranexamic acid on intracranial haemorrhage and cerebral ischaemia using CT Scans in approximately 1,000 patients randomised into the CRASH-3 trial.
