Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate whether TXA mouthwash reduces post-extraction bleeding in patients who undergo dental extraction and are treated with NOACs
    Protection of trial subjects
    Potential risks of systemic administration of TXA, as reported by the package insert, include convulsions, blurred vision, haematuria and thrombo-embolism. However, none of these potential risks have been shown to be present in case of mouthwash as compared to systemic administration. This can be explained by the low systemic TXA levels in case of administration by mouthwash. Therefore, the immediate potential risk of TXA mouthwash is limited to: • Allergic reaction • Bleeding in case of extensive or traumatic mechanical rinsing There are no known long-term risks. Because of these limited potential risks, the potential benefit of this treatment is expected to outweigh the risks.

    Statistical analysis description
    The secondary outcomes were were analyzed by means of a logistic regression (for the number of patients with oral bleeds) and negative-binomial regression model (for the number of oral bleeds). The treatment effect was estimated as a rate ratio (the number of bleeds per patient during the first seven days after dental extraction).
