Hemorrhage, Shock, Wounds and Injuries
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of TXA on the immune system, its pharmacokinetics, as well as safety and efficacy in severely injured trauma patients.
Detailed description
Trauma is the leading cause of death in persons younger than 40 years. Hemorrhage is the etiology in 30% of these deaths, and remains the leading cause of potentially preventable mortality (66-80%) on the battlefield. Death secondary to hemorrhagic shock occurs from both surgical bleeding and coagulopathy. Due to the knowledge of increased fibrinolysis promoting a hypocoagulable state in severe trauma, trials have been performed to determine if antifibrinolytics such as tranexamic acid (TXA) could reduce morbidity and mortality by reducing death from hemorrhage. TXA is an antifibrinolytic that inhibits both plasminogen activation and plasmin activity, thus preventing clot break-down rather than promoting new clot formation. Despite the extensive use of TXA in many surgical populations and an increasing use in severe trauma patients, TXA does not have an FDA approved indication for patients with traumatic injuries. The effect of TXA on immune function has not been thoroughly examined, especially in patients with severe traumatic injury. The study of the effects of TXA use on endothelial activation and injury is also important due to the inter-relationship between coagulation and endothelial function. Endothelial injury secondary to local hypoperfusion causes acute traumatic coagulopathy with fibrinolysis. Therefore a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the effects of TXA on immune, coagulation, and endothelial parameters is important to allow for a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of this agent. This is a randomized placebo controlled trial to obtain mechanism of action data, pharmacokinetic information, and efficacy and safety data for the use of TXA in severely injured trauma patients. Participants will be randomized into 1 of 3 treatment arms (1:1:1): TXA 2 gram IV bolus, TXA 4 gram IV bolus, or placebo. The study period is from time of enrollment to hospital discharge or transfer. The study intervention will occur only once upon enrollment in the trial. Participants will receive study drug within two hours from their initial injury. Blood samples will be drawn at multiple time points for immune parameters, Pharmacodynamics, and repository samples. Immune parameter samples will be drawn at at approximately 0, 6, 24 and 72 hours after study drug/placebo administration. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic samples will be drawn according to two schedules. Even number sampling times, blood will be drawn at the approximate time points: 0, 20 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr, and 12 hr. A patient sampled on odd number sampling times will have samples drawn at the approximate time points: 0, 10 min, 40 min, 1.5 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 10 hr and 24 hr. Repository samples will be drawn at approximate time points: 0, 1, 6, 24, and 72 hours.

| Change in HLA-DR Expression on Monocytes 72 Hours After Drug or Placebo Administration in Patient Groups (0g TXA (Placebo); 2g TXA; 4g TXA). | Samples Drawn through 72 hours after study initiation | Blood was drawn from patients at baseline (0 h, just before placebo or drug administration) and at 72 hours post placebo or drug administration. Leukocytes in these blood samples were stained with fluroescent antibodies specific for CD45, CD14, and HLA-DR, analyzed by flow cytometry, and the median fluorescen intensity (MFI) of HLA-DR signal was recorded for monocytes (CD45+CD14+). The fold change in HLA-DR expression from prior to placebo/drug administration to 72 h after placebo/drug administration (0 h : 72 h) was calculated as HLA-DR MFI72hours ÷ HLA-DR CD14 MFI0hours. Non-paramteric one-way ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis test) was performed between each treatment group at the given time pont, and the p-value reported. |

Differences in Leukocyte Function Parameters Between the Three Study Groups
To evaluate the effects of TXA on immune function parameters we will, in a RCT, analyze samples from 150 patients (50 in each study group), at multiple time points. Parameters are: a. Flow cytometric analyses on leukocytes measured from time 0 to 72 hours.
Time frame: Samples Drawn through 72 hours after study initiation
Population: Change in CD11b and CD16 Expression on neutrophils 72 hours after. Leukocytes stained with antibodies specific and analyzed by flow cytometry. The median fluorescen intensity of CD11b or CD16 signal was measured on neutrophils. The fold change was measured, MFI72hours/MFI0hours. Non-paramteric one-way ANOVA was performed and the p-value reported.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy CL
Pharmacokinetic data was analyzed with NONMEM, using both the first-order and conditional non-Laplacian (with centering) estimation techniques. We considered two- and three-compartment models, parameterized in terms of both compartment volumes and clearances (distribution and elimination). We compared a basic model (in which pharmacokinetic parameters were independent of weight) to a model in which the pharmacokinetic parameters were assumed to be proportional to weight. The optimal model was selected on the basis of the objective function logarithm of the likelihood of the results) using standard criteria (NONMEM guide). Equations from optimal model: CL=109\*((WT/70)\*\*0.75) \* (SCRint\^-0.084) \* ((NIRSInt)/96)\^ -0.27 ) \* ((PLTint)/130)\^0.45) V1=1,160\*(WT/70) \* (TxTot)\^0.03) Q=174\*((WT/70)\*\*0.75) V2=1080 \*(WT/70) Near Infrared Spectroscopy CL equals clearance (CL) affected by the covariate of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRSint).
