Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

Pre-pivotal, randomized study to assess the safety and efficacy of the IUB SEAD™ device in women suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding.

It is unknown if bystanders equipped with point-of-care (POC) instruction are as effective as bystanders with in-person training for bleeding control. Therefore, POC instructional interventions were developed during this study in response to the scalability challenges associated with in-person training to measure the comparative effectiveness and skill retention of POC instructions vs in-person training using a randomized clinical trial design.

This was a prospective, cohort study.

This phase III trial will establish whether IL-1Ra, with sub-cutaneous (SC) administration twice daily for up to 21 days post aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH), improves clinical outcome as measured by ordinal shift in mRS at 6 months. Patients with SAH transferred to a neurosurgical centre will be identified and approached for study participation. Following consent, patients will be randomised to receive either IL-1Ra or placebo for a maximum of 21 days from onset of symptoms. Patients who are found to be non-aneurysmal following randomisation will be withdrawn from the study treatment. Blood samples for plasma IL-6 will be obtained prior to randomisation and at day 3-5 post randomisation for IL-6 & IL-1 measurement. Safety will be measured at 30 days post randomisation and outcome assessed at 6 months post randomisation.

This is a Phase III multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of tranexamic acid (TXA) on perioperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection. The rationale for this study includes: (1) experimental evidence supporting the use of TXA in other surgical populations; (2) lack of evidence in patients undergoing liver resection; (3) clinical uncertainty and extensive support amongst hepatobiliary surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and hematologists for this proposed trial; (4) a feasible and efficient study design; and (5) the importance of the question: incidence of blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection is high, and the consequences serious. The sample size for this study is 1230 participants.Participants enrolled in the prior Vanguard study will proceed directly into the RCT.

The objective of this study is to determine whether acetaminophen (APAP), N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and APAP in combination with NAC will inhibit lipid peroxidation in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), utilizing F2-IsoPs as biomarkers for lipid peroxidation.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Optimization of intra-hospital pathways is as of today one of the most promising research topics in stroke treatment. A potential solution to shorten the time needed for current workflows, and therefore reperfusion, is to do both imaging and subsequent endovascular therapy (EVT) in the angiography suite using non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin (FDCT) for the exclusion of intracranial hemorrhage and flat detector CT angiography (FDCTA) or digital subtraction angiography for diagnosis of LVO. It is still a matter of debate if FDCT can reliably differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. This study aims to investigate if non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin imaging is non-inferior to non-contrast MDCT imaging regarding its sensitivity and specificity for the detection of intracranial hemorrhages.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of an "early tips" strategy over standard treatment by glue obliteration (G0) in preventing bleeding recurrence or death at one year after a non GOV1 gastric variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients initially treated by GO.

The purpose of the study is to investigate differences in perioperative and postoperative outcomes between the abdominal (AM) versus vaginal (VM) routes of contained morcellation in participants undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomies in a randomized controlled trial.

Acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding associated with the use of low-dose aspirin (ASA) is a major cause of peptic ulcer bleeding worldwide. Among survivors of acute myocardial infarction, a study of over 14,000 patients reported that the risk of life-threatening GI bleeding in the first two months is 7 times higher than that in the subsequent months. After endoscopic control of ulcer bleeding, most patients with cardiovascular (CV) diseases will need to resume ASA. However, the investigator found that immediate resumption of ASA saves life but at the expense of higher risk of recurrent bleeding. Peptic ulcer bleeding associated with ASA is a major cause of hospitalization in Hong Kong. Currently, ASA use has contributed to about one-third of the bleeding ulcers admitted to our hospital that serves a local population of 1.5 million. Accordingly, current international guidelines recommend early resumption of ASA but the optimal timing is unknown. Clinicians often face the dilemma: when should ASA be resumed? Furthermore, patients who suffer from acute peptic ulcer bleeding are often elderly patients with significant co-morbidities. Mortality in these patients remains high. Clinicians are facing an increasing number of patients who are on antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants. The investigator proposes a open-label randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the optimal timing of resuming ASA in patients with CV diseases complicated by peptic ulcer bleeding. Patients will be randomized to resume the standard treatment within first few hours or only to resume the standard treatment 72 hours after endoscopic haemostasis.
