Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether giving tranexamic acid to patients receiving treatment for blood cancers reduces the risk of bleeding or death, and the need for platelet transfusions. Patients will be randomised to receive tranexamic acid (given intravenously through a drip, or orally) or a placebo.
Detailed description
Patients with cancers of the blood often develop low blood cell counts either as a consequence of the disease or the treatment by chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation. Platelet transfusions are commonly given to raise any low platelet count and reduce the risk of clinical bleeding (prophylaxis) or stop active bleeding (therapy). But recent studies have indicated that many patients continue to experience bleeding, despite the use of platelet transfusions. Tranexamic acid is a type of drug that is called an antifibrinolytic. These drugs act to reduce the breakdown of clots formed in response to bleeding. These drugs have been used widely in both elective and emergency surgery and have been shown to decrease blood loss and the use of red cell transfusions. The purpose of this study is to test whether giving tranexamic acid to patients receiving treatment for blood cancers reduces the risk of bleeding or death, and the need for platelet transfusions. Patients will be randomised to receive tranexamic acid (given intravenously through a drip, or orally) or a placebo. The investigators will measure the rates of bleeding daily using a short structured assessment of bleeding and will record the number of transfusions given to patients.

Proportion of Days With Thrombocytopenia (≤10x10⁹/L, ≤30x10⁹L, ≤50x10⁹/L).
Measured by number of days that the patient's laboratory results indicate that the patient is thrombocytopenic.
Time frame: Measured during first 30 days from first dose of IMP.
Population: Days platelet count count was recorded (so risk of thrombocytopenia could be detected)
