  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Injury due to a blunt or penetrating trauma causing pelvic or pelvic and acetabular fracture amenable to surgical reconstruction

About this study

Official title: A Single-centre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Activated Recombinant Coagulation Factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven®) in Patients With Major Fractures of Pelvis or Pelvis and Acetabulum Undergoing Repair Surgery

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VIIgiven in conjunction with standard therapy in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery following traumatic pelvic or pelvic and acetabular fractures.

What participants receive

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

  • activated recombinant human factor VIIDrug

    90 mcg/kg body weight administered intravenously as a slow, bolus injection after the patients had been anaesthetised and immediately before the first skin incision. A second dose was given if an intraoperative haemoglobin was less than 8.0 g/dl after salvaged red cells (RBC) had been re-transfused

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing activated recombinant human factor VII in people with Acquired Bleeding Disorder and Trauma, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 13 Jan 2017. 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 Kingdom. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Total volume of perioperative blood loss. 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 NCT01601457, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
