About this study

Official title: A Phase 4, Open-Label, Single-Group Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Re-exposure to RECOTHROM� (rThrombin) in Surgical Hemostasis

The objective of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of recombinant Thrombin (rThrombin) in patients with prior rThrombin exposure.

Read the detailed description

The safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of rThrombin have been evaluated in Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies in the following surgical indications: spinal surgery, major hepatic resection, peripheral arterial bypass (PAB) surgery, arteriovenous (AV) graft formation for hemodialysis access, and skin graft surgery following burn injury. Limited data on rThrombin reexposure currently exist. This study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of rThrombin in participants who are undergoing a surgical procedure during which topical rThrombin application is planned and who previously received rThrombin in Phase 3 clinical trials or during prior spine, AV graft formation, or PAB surgical procedures.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Number or Participants With Antirecombinant Thrombin (rThrombin) Product Antibody at Baseline and Day 29

    Immunogenicity of rThrombin product was evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of antirThrombin product antibody and a neutralizing antibody assay to characterize the potential of antibodies to rThrombin product to neutralize the activity of human plasma-derived thrombin.

    Measured: At baseline and Day 29

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-related SAEs, Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment-related Adverse Events, and AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. Treatment-related=possibly, probably, or certainly related to and of unknown relationship to study treatment.

    Measured: Baseline through Day 29, continuously

  2. Number of Participants With AEs by Maximum Severity

    An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. AE severity was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 13.0: Grade 1=mild; Grade 2=moderate; Grade 3=severe; Grade 4=life-threatening; Grade 5=fatal.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 29, continuously

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rThrombin, 1000 IU/mL in people with Blood Loss, Surgical, run by ZymoGenetics 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Dec 2011. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Dec 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number or Participants With Antirecombinant Thrombin (rThrombin) Product Antibody at Baseline and Day 29 (time frame: At baseline and Day 29). 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 8 Dec 2011.
