About this study

Official title: Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)-Perfusion

Evaluation of fibrin and platelet deposition on a human umbilical endothelial cell surface in perfusion chamber experiments using human whole blood.

Open-label, non interventional study Perfusion chamber experiment will be performed in 30 healthy patients. The Impact of different pH-solutions on thrombus lysis will be evaluated in an in-vitro second step

Outcome:

D-Dimer content of the thrombus reflecting the size of the thrombus.

Read the detailed description

All Subjects will have two perfusion chamber experiment as follow with an estimated maximum of blood loss of 165ml:

Before blood perfusion, perfuse the system including the chambers with human umbilical vein endothelial cell coated glass slides (HUVEC), with sodium chloride (NaCl) (0.9%), to ensure no leaks and to remove all air bubbles.

Blood is drawn from a vein in the arm with a Surflo® Winged Infusion Set, 19G (Terumo Europe, Leuven, Belgium) with a pump (Masterflex® L/S™, Cole-Parmer Instrument Company, Vernon Hills, Illinois, USA). Five mL of blood is discarded before each perfusion.

Three in serial placed flow chambers (with HUVEC) heated to 37°C are used. They are made of a Plexiglas block through which a cylindrical hole of 0.2 cm in diameter is machined. The aorta pieces are perfused at 10 mL/min for 5 minutes, followed by a 30 seconds perfusion with NaCl (0.9%).

The plasmin degraded thrombus D-Dimer content will be further evaluated under different conditions (different pH solutions).

What is being measured

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

  1. D-Dimer content of the plasmin degraded thrombus

    Measured: Assessment will follow after all perfusion chamber experiments (1 week)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombosis and Thrombus Formation, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2012. 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 Austria. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

D-Dimer content of the plasmin degraded thrombus (time frame: Assessment will follow after all perfusion chamber experiments (1 week)). 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 24 Apr 2012.
