About this study

Official title: Bleeding Prediction in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Using Whole Blood Impedance Aggregometry and Rotational Thromboelastometry

Use of whole blood impedance aggregometry and rotational thromboelastometry can reveal useful data about platelet function and viscoelastic properties of blood clot in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

The purpose of this study is to clarify whether it is possible to predict patients on excessive risk of perioperative bleeding using whole blood impedance aggregometry and rotational thromoelastometry.

Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone in treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. Another research goal is to determine the degree of response to antiplatelet therapy before and after surgery and to investigate whether patients by level of response to antiplatelet therapy before surgery have a higher risk of perioperative bleeding.

Study groups in NCT01281397
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients undergoing elective cardiac surgeryPatients undergoing elective cardiac surgery will be enrolled in study. Data about antiplatelet therapy ingestion prior to surgery will be included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Chest tube output in first 24 hours

    Measured: 24 hours after surgical procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Allogenic blood products transfusion

    Measured: 7 days after surgery including the day of surgery

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted21 Jan 2011 (estimated)
  2. Study startAug 2009
  3. Primary completionJan 2011
  4. Study completionJan 2011

Why it stopped: After 148 patients enrolled, interim analysis revealed positive results in regard to primary hypothesis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Disease and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Zagreb at 1 site in Croatia.

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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2014. 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 Croatia. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: After 148 patients enrolled, interim analysis revealed positive results in regard to primary hypothesis.). 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?

Chest tube output in first 24 hours (time frame: 24 hours after surgical procedure). 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 NCT01281397, 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 3 Dec 2014.
