Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects undergoing UFH anticoagulation therapy will are needed for this study. Typically, such patients are undergoing cardiovascular surgery, are being treated for thromboembolic events, or are receiving heparin intravenously for thrombosis prophylaxis due to its more advantageous pharmacokinetic profile in some situations.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects receiving a continuous infusion with UFH
  • Subjects who have given written informed consent (unless written informed consent is waived by local regulations or local EC/IRB)

Who cannot join

  • Subjects treated with any other anticoagulants other than UFH
  • Subjects who have been undergoing fibrinolytic therapy within the previous 4 weeks
  • Subjects who are known to have a congenital bleeding disorder
  • Subjects known to present unexplained prolongations of clotting time
  • Subjects known to have coagulation factor deficiencies
  • Patient participating or who has participated within one month from enrolment in another investigational study

About this study

To demonstrate the substantial equivalence (SE) of Pefakit® PiCT® UC (test device, T) to aPTT-SP (Hemosil) (predicate device, P) in determining heparin levels in subjects undergoing heparin therapy in support of a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) submission.

Read the detailed description

Standard of Care Study. Objective is to monitor the patients' heparin levels under treatment with continuous unfractionated heparin infusions. Blood samples collections (4 ml) are required routinely. A proportion of this standard sample (leftover plasma) will be used for study purposes. About three samples will be analyzed which are collected within 2 - 4 days. Time points for blood sample collections will be defined by the treating physician according the local standard of care and will be associated exclusively to clinical considerations. Results of the Pefakit® PiCT® UC assay will NOT be used to take therapeutic decisions for study subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Sensitivity and Specificity of Pefakit and Hemosil.

    Sensitivity is the proportion of positive cases identified as positive. Specificity is the proportion of negative cases identified as negative. The Sensitivity and Specificity of Pefakit and Hemosil were calculated for the overall study population and separately for each of the three medical centers. Sensitivity and Specificity of Pefakit and Hemosil were each assessed relative to the reference method (Biophen)

    Measured: within 2 - 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thromboembolic Events, run by dsm-firmenich Switzerland AG at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany, Switzerland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Sensitivity and Specificity of Pefakit and Hemosil. (time frame: within 2 - 4 days). 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 6 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
