Trial summary

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII to mitigate experimentally-induced bleeding in healthy volunteers treated with warfarin to reach a targeted INR (International Normalization Ratio).

About this study

Official title: Use of Recombinant FVIIa to Mitigate Warfarin Anticoagulation Therapy-Mediated Bleeding in a Single Centre, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Clinical Trial

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII to mitigate experimentally-induced bleeding in healthy volunteers treated with warfarin to reach a targeted INR (International Normalization Ratio).

Conditions
Haemostasis, Healthy
Being tested
warfarin, eptacog alfa (activated), placebo

What participants receive

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

  • warfarinDrug

    After a baseline punch biopsy (B0), warfarin is administered over a period of approximately 7-14 days. Dose is adjusted individually to achieve INR target. Once a stable INR is achieved, a second biopsy (B1) will be performed

  • eptacog alfa (activated)Drug

    Also called activated recombinant human factor VII

    If the subject is eligible to continue in trial part B, trial drug will be administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes in five different doses followed by two biopsies (B2) and (B3) 15 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively, after trial drug administration

  • placeboDrug

    If the subject is eligible to continue in trial part B, trial drug will be administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes in five different doses followed by two biopsies (B2) and (B3) 15 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively, after trial drug administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Bleeding duration measured in minutes after biopsies in trial part A

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  2. Bleeding duration measured in minutes after biopsy B1 in trial part B

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Blood volume reported in millilitres after biopsies in trial part A

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  2. Blood volume reported in millilitres after biopsy B1 in trial part B

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  3. Adverse events, including thrombotic events

    Measured: From day 0 to days 14-28

  4. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B1

    Measured: From baseline to 3 hours after B1

  5. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B2

    Measured: From baseline to 3 hours after B2

  6. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B3

    Measured: From baseline to 3 hours after B3

  7. Clot dynamics: R in minutes (trial part B)

    Measured: Time to onset of clot formation

  8. Clot dynamics: K in minutes (trial part B)

    Measured: Time to achieve 20mm clot strength

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing warfarin and eptacog alfa (activated) in people with Haemostasis and Healthy, run by Novo Nordisk A/S 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 25 Nov 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Bleeding duration measured in minutes after biopsies in trial part A (time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Nov 2016.
