POISE-3: PeriOperative ISchemic Evaluation-3 Trial: A Pilot Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A placebo-controlled, factorial trial to assess the impact of rosuvastatin and tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery who are at risk of a perioperative cardiovascular event.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
The POISE-3 pilot is a randomized controlled trial of 100 patients with, or at risk of, atherosclerotic disease who are undergoing noncardiac surgery. Utilizing a partial factorial design, the POISE-3 pilot will determine the effect of rosuvastatin versus placebo and TXA versus placebo in the perioperative setting.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Tranexamic Acid vs. matching placebo Tranexamic Acid 1g bolus with anesthesia induction followed by 1g bolus at the start of surgical closure. |
Drug: Tranexamic Acid
Other Names:
Drug: Tranexamic Acid Placebo
|
Experimental: Rosuvastatin vs. matching placebo Rosuvastatin 20 mg orally or matching placebo once per day until 30 days after surgery |
Drug: Rosuvastatin or matching placebo
Subjects who are not on a statin will also be randomized to Rosuvastatin or Rosuvastatin placebo. 40mg preoperatively, followed by 20mg postoperatively (4-6 hours after surgical close) and 20mg/day for 30 days postoperatively.
