ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medicine called BT-114143 to see if it can help reduce bleeding during and after knee replacement surgery (called total knee arthroplasty). The study will compare two different doses of BT-114143 with a commonly used treatment called tranexamic acid. The goal is to find out which treatment works best to lower blood loss around the time of surgery and to check that the new medicine is safe.

People who might be eligible to join are adults between 18 and 70 years old who have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled for a knee replacement. Participants should be generally healthy enough for surgery and have no serious infections, blood problems, or other major health issues. If they join, they will be randomly assigned to receive either a high dose or low dose of BT-114143, or the standard treatment, given through an IV before and after their surgery. Throughout the study, doctors will monitor participants closely to evaluate blood loss and watch for any side effects. This trial is not yet recruiting but aims to help improve care for patients having knee replacement surgery.
