Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Newborn subjects <= 6 months of age: diagnosis of severe congenital protein C deficiency, with documented functional protein C level < 20%. If a genetic diagnosis is not available prior to initiation of Protein C Concentrate treatment, a documented family history of protein C deficiency is required.
  • Subjects > 6 months of age: confirmed diagnosis of severe congenital protein C deficiency, i.e., by
  • a genetic analysis of severe congenital protein C deficiency (i.e., homozygous or double heterozygous) OR
  • a documented family history of protein C deficiency AND a documented functional protein C level < 20% while the subject is in an asymptomatic state and not receiving oral anticoagulation therapy
  • Signed and dated informed consent from either the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative prior to enrollment. Informed consent includes consent for conducting a genetic analysis (if the genetic defect is unknown).

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with a history of allergic reactions to Protein C Concentrate. In the case of allergic reactions occurring at the Protein C Concentrate injection site; exclusion from the study is at the discretion of the investigator but should be reported as an AE regardless of the subject's inclusion in or exclusion from the study.
  • Participation in any clinical study in which another investigational agent is used within 30 days prior to enrollment or its use is expected at any time for the duration of study participation.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II/III Clinical Study for the Determination of the Efficacy and Safety of Protein C Concentrate in Subjects With Severe Congenital Protein C Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to show that Protein C Concentrate is a safe and effective treatment for subjects with congenital protein C deficiency. Depending on the type of treatment required, patients are assigned to one of 3 study parts: Part 1 is for the treatment of acute episodes, Part 2 is for short-term prophylaxis, and Part 3 is for long-term prophylaxis in infants aged less than 6 months only.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Whether episodes of purpura fulminans, Coumarin-induced skin necrosis and/or other thromboembolic event could be treated effectively, effectively with complications, or not treated effectively with Protein C Concentrate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Protein C Concentrate (Human) Vapor Heated in people with Protein C Deficiency, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 12 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Whether episodes of purpura fulminans, Coumarin-induced skin necrosis and/or other thromboembolic event could be treated effectively, effectively with complications, or not treated effectively with Protein C Concentrate. (time frame: Part 1 of the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00157118, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
