**CRASH-3 TRIAL RESULTS**

After 7 years of international collaboration, we are delighted to be sharing with you the CRASH-3 trial results.

The CRASH-3 trial is the first evidence of a drug which can prevent death following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a safe, low cost, and widely available drug which could prevent deaths from TBI by as much as 20% depending on severity of the injury.

Listen below to hear more about CRASH-3 and how TXA could be a potentially life-saving treatment. Pam Foley suffered a TBI after falling off her bike and was asked to participate in the CRASH-3 trial - hear her story below.
