About this study

The primary objective of this study is to verify, through a randomized, blinded, parallel clinical trial, the efficacy of bovine heparin from Eurofarma Laboratory product when compared to porcine heparin APP Pharmaceutical in patients undergoing surgery cardiovascular disease and who require cardiopulmonary bypass, through the control of hemostasis during and after surgery, based on measurements of markers of coagulation ACT, aPTT, anti-Xa heparin levels and the excessive blood loss (hemorrhage) after the end of surgery.

Being tested
Bovine Heparin, Porcine heparin

What is being measured

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

  1. Coagulometric parameters markers heparin activity: ACT, APTT and Anti - Xa

    Measured: (T0) Pre heparintion; (T1) Top of extracorporeal; (T2) Intraoperative period; (T3) End bypass; (T4) Postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Value of the total dose of heparin used, the activity and adequate reversal with the use of protamine.

    Measured: (T0) Pre heparintion; (T1) Top of extracorporeal; (T2) Intraoperative period; (T3) End bypass; (T4) Postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bovine Heparin and Porcine heparin in people with Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism, run by Azidus Brasil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 13 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 28 Jan 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alexandre Frederico, Dr. (+551938293822, alexandre@lalclinica.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coagulometric parameters markers heparin activity: ACT, APTT and Anti - Xa (time frame: (T0) Pre heparintion; (T1) Top of extracorporeal; (T2) Intraoperative period; (T3) End bypass; (T4) Postoperative). 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 28 Jan 2011.
