Trial summary

Antifibrinolytic drugs are used to decrease perioperative bleeding and allogeneic transfusions. The extensively studied antifibrinolytic drug aprotinin is efficacious but expensive, and has been proved to link to higher risks of serious side effects including renal problems, myocardial events, and strokes in patients… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hemostatic Effects of Ulinastatin and Tranexamic Acid in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pilot Study

Antifibrinolytic drugs are used to decrease perioperative bleeding and allogeneic transfusions. The extensively studied antifibrinolytic drug aprotinin is efficacious but expensive, and has been proved to link to higher risks of serious side effects including renal problems, myocardial events, and strokes in patients undergoing CABG. After the secession of aprotinin in 2007, a marked increase of blood loss and transfusions in cardiac surgery took place. An effective and secure hemostatic agent is badly needed. Ulinastatin, urinary trypsin inhibitor(UTI), is a secreted Kunitz-type protease inhibitor with a wide inhibition spectrum, including plasmin. Limited studies offered clues to its antifibrinolytic effect. Tranexamic acid has been applied for years with convinced efficacy and safety. The objective of the study is to evaluate the hemostatic effect of ulinastatin and tranexamic acid in cardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative blood loss

    Defined as the total volume of chest drainage postoperatively

    Measured: Postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of reexploration for bleeding

    Measured: Postoperatively

  2. Rate of major bleeding

    Major bleeding is defined according to the CURE study

    Measured: Perioperatively

  3. Transfusion of allogeneic erythrocytes

    Rate of exposure and volume of allogeneic erythrocytes transfused

    Measured: Perioperatively

  4. Transfusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP)

    Rate of exposure and volume of FFP transfused

    Measured: Perioperatively

  5. Transfusion of allogeneic platelets

    Rate of exposure and volume of allogeneic platelets transfused

    Measured: Perioperatively

  6. Length of stay in ICU and hospital postoperatively

    Measured: Postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ulinastatin, Tranexamic Acid and Saline Solution in people with Hemostasis, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 Feb 2019. 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 China. 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.

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?

Postoperative blood loss (time frame: Postoperatively). 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 NCT01060189, 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 Feb 2019.
