About this study

Official title: A Multi-Centre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial on Efficacy and Safety of FXIII Replenishment With Two Different Doses of Recombinant Factor XIII Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery

This trial is conducted in Canada, Asia, Europe and USA. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect and safety of rFXIII on transfusion needs in patients undergoing heart surgery.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects Avoiding Any Allogeneic Transfusions for Seven Days Post-operative or Until Discharge, Whichever Came First

    Proportion of patients avoiding blood products given via allogeneic transfusion. Blood products were defined as any of the following: RBC, platelets, FFP, fibrinogen concentrate and clotting factor(s) concentrate, including cryoprecipitate.

    Measured: measured ongoing from dosing until day 7 or discharge, whichever came first

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With Thromboembolic Events

    Percentage of subjects with thromboembolic events (AMI, cerebrovascular thromboembolic event, peripheral artery occlusion, DVT, pulmonary embolism) until end of trial

    Measured: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration

  2. Percentage of Subjects With rFXIII Antibody Reaction

    Immunogenicity as number of subjects who manifested FXIII antibody reaction until end of trial. The percentage may be derived from the number of subjects treated with rFXIII with available antibody measurement at visit 8.

    Measured: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration

  3. Percentage of Subjects With Critical Adverse Events

    Percentage of subjects with critical adverse events (thromboembolic events (AMI, cerebrovascular thromboembolic event, peripheral artery occlusion, DVT, pulmonary embolism), renal dysfunction, re-operation and death) until end of trial

    Measured: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration

  4. Percentage of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events

    Percentage of subjects with serious adverse events until end of trial.

    Measured: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing catridecacog in people with Acquired Bleeding Disorder and Cardiac Surgery Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 32 sites in 10 countries.

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 9 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 7 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and 5 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 13 Nov 2014). 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?

Percentage of Subjects Avoiding Any Allogeneic Transfusions for Seven Days Post-operative or Until Discharge, Whichever Came First (time frame: measured ongoing from dosing until day 7 or discharge, whichever came first). 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 NCT00914589, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 7 Mar 2017.
