What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests if using Arista MPH® powder during knee replacement surgery can reduce blood loss and improve recovery. It targets patients with osteoarthritis needing knee surgery. The powder helps blood clot faster, reducing bleeding and aiding healing.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for more details.

How does this treatment differ from other treatments for breast cancer?

This treatment may involve targeting the ARID1A gene, which is a tumor-suppressor gene that, when re-expressed, can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. This approach is unique because it focuses on restoring the function of a gene that is often lost in aggressive breast cancer types, potentially offering a new way to slow down or stop tumor progression. ^{1 2 3 4 5}
