What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HeparinDrug

    300u/kg of heparin for CPB ACT performed. If ACT is < 480 seconds a bolus of 5000u heparin will be given. ACT will be repeated and bolus given until ACT is>480 seconds

  • HH or high heparinDrug

    initial dose of 450u/kg for CPB ACT performed additional bolus given if result is <600 seconds anytime during CPB

  • heparin concentration HCDrug

    will have anticoagulation during CPB assessed with heparin concentration monitoring and heparin dose response (HDR) to determine the optimal dosage of heparin. This group will evaluate the possible benefit of the HDR to determine heparin dosing and monitoring to achieve maximal suppression of thrombin compared to a fixed dose of heparin as the other two groups. Additional heparin doses will be given to maintain a specific heparin concentration according to the HDR. This is a recognized way of managing heparin dosing and anticoagulation for CPB.

    All three groups will have heparin neutralized by protamine. Adequacy of heparin neutralization will be based on a difference between the ACT and heparinase-treated ACT values of less than 10%

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Heparin, HH or high heparin and heparin concentration HC in people with Postoperative Hemorrhage, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 11 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 15 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 phase mean?

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?

measure blood loss (time frame: within 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Oct 2009.
