About this study

Official title: Measurements of Thrombin Generation in Response to Recombinant Activated Factor VII and Prothrombin Complex Concentrate in Neonatal Plasma After Cardiopulmonary Bypass

The primary goal of this investigation is to determine the ability of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) to improve thrombin generation in neonatal plasma after CPB.

Read the detailed description

In this investigation, the investigators propose a comparison in vitro of the ability of rFVIIa with that of PCC to increase thrombin generation in neonatal plasma after CPB. A pre-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) baseline blood sample will be obtained. After the termination of CPB and the administration of one round of protamine, platelets and fibrinogen (standard of care), a second blood sample will be drawn. All samples will be centrifuged to yield platelet rich plasma and stored until processing. In the pre-CPB sample, baseline thrombin generation will be measured. The post-CPB sample will be divided into three aliquots to measure thrombin generation under three different circumstances: the first will serve as a control, the second will include rFVIIa and the third PCC.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Recombinant activated factor VIIDrug

    Also called NovoSeven RT, Novo Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark

    Plasma will be spiked in vitro with recombinant activated factor VII to assess increases in thrombin generation with and without the drug

  • Prothrombin Complex ConcentrateDrug

    Also called Beriplex P/N, CSL Behring, King of Prussia, PA

    Plasma will be spiked in vitro with prothrombin complex concentrate to determine increases in thrombin generation with and without the drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak thrombin Generation

    The primary outcome measure is the peak amount of thrombin generated (measured in nM) as determined by the Thrombinoscope with rFVIIa as compared to PCC.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Emory University at 1 site in United States.

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 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 20 Nov 2013. 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 United States. 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 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?

Peak thrombin Generation (time frame: one year). 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 20 Nov 2013.
