About this study

Official title: Prediction of Bleeding Outcomes / Transfusion Requirements and Assessment of Perioperative Changes in Platelet Reactivity Using Point-of-care Platelet Function Testing in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Excessive bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) operations remains to be a persistent problem. Antiplatelet therapy (APT) is an integral component of perioperative management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The impact of drug induced platelet inhibition on early postoperative bleeding extent and transfusion requirements remains difficult to predict.

In addition to, resistance to antiplatelet drugs as well as perioperative increase in platelet reactivity following CPB has been reported but this phenomenon has to be comprehensively investigated.

The best point-of-care platelet function test to predict bleeding complications/transfusion requirements remains unclear. In addition to, the best test platelet function test to monitor resistance to antiplatelet therapy and its impact on clinical outcomes remains elusive.

The aim of this study is:

  1. to compare two point-of-care platelet function analyzers (Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet) in regard to prediction of bleeding complications/trasfusion requirements.
  2. to compare two point-of-care platelet function analyzers (Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet) in regard to detection of high "on-treatment" platelet reactivity both pre- and postoperatively.

Excessive bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) operations remains to be a persistent problem. Antiplatelet therapy (APT) is an integral component of perioperative management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The impact of drug induced platelet inhibition on early postoperative bleeding extent and transfusion requirements remains difficult to predict.

In addition to, resistance to antiplatelet drugs as well as perioperative increase in platelet reactivity following CPB has been reported but this phenomenon has to be comprehensively investigated.

The best point-of-care platelet function test to predict bleeding complications/transfusion requirements remains unclear. In addition to, the best test platelet function test to monitor resistance to antiplatelet therapy and its impact on clinical outcomes remains elusive.

The aim of this study is:

  1. to compare two point-of-care platelet function analyzers (Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet) in regard to prediction of bleeding complications/trasfusion requirements. Three different tests will be performed on each device simultaneously at three time points: T1) Preoperative testing will include ASPI test, ADP test and TRAP test for Multiplate device and ARATEM, ADPTEM and TRAPTEM for ROTEM Platelet device, respectively. T2) After declamping of the aorta: ASPI test, ADP test and TRAP test for Multiplate device and ARATEM, ADPTEM and TRAPTEM for ROTEM Platelet device will be performed. T3) 5-10 minutes after protamine administration: ASPI test, ADP test and TRAP test for Multiplate device and ARATEM, ADPTEM and TRAPTEM for ROTEM Platelet device will be performed. Results obtained with this two platelet function point-of-care devices at the first three timepoints will be tested for correlations with postoperative bleeding amount and intra/postoperative transfusion requirements. Predictibalility of bleeding complications as well as transfusion requirements will be compared between Multiplate tests and ROTEM Platelet tests.
  2. to compare two point-of-care platelet function analyzers (Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet) in regard to detection of high "on-treatment" platelet reactivity both pre- and postoperatively.

To compare Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet for assessment of high on treatment platelet reactivity we will use tests being performed preoperatively (T1) and tests performed at fourth postoperative day (T4).

ASPI test (Multiplate) and ARATEM test (ROTEM Platelet) are sensitive to the platelet inhibitory effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Thus, the incidence of resistance to acetylsalicylic acid , measured by Multiplate ASPI test and ROTEM Platelet ARATEM will be compared between device measurements performed at T1 and T4, respectively. Specific subanalysis will be performed for ARATEM test with aim to make laboratory based definition of resistance to acetylsalicylic acid. Specific cut-of value for acetylsalicylic acid resistance has already been defined by our working group for Multiplate ASPI test.

ADP test (Multiplate) and ADPTEM test (ROTEM Platelet) are sensitive to the effect of thienopyridines. For patients being preoperatively exposed to thienopyridines, measurements of Multiplate ADP test and ROTEM Platelet ADPTEM test will be performed at T1 with aim to compare the incidence of high on-treatment platelet reactivity.

Preoperative (T1) and postoperative (T4) measurements obtained with Multiplate and ROTEM Platelet will be compared. Perioperative increase in platelet reactivity will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative chest tube output

    Chest tube output (CTO) was determined as study's primary outcome. To estimate blood loss, we will meticulously document CTO, in first 24 postoperative hours and divide it by patient's weight. Drainage loss will be assessed after completion of a 30-minute stabilization period. Blood loss during the stabilization period will not be included in the definition of postoperative hemorrhage. Such loss may be caused by postural changes when transferring the patient from the operating room table to the bed or because of fluid in the pleural or mediastinal cavity, which may have arisen from the rinsing with water as an attempt to achieve surgical hemostasis.

    Measured: the first 24 postoperative hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Transfusion requirements

    Intraoperative and postoperative transfusion requirements (packed red blood cells in mL, fresh frozen plasma in mL, fibrinogen concentrate in grams and platelet concentrates in units) will be determined as study's secondary outcome.

    Measured: 5 days

  2. reexploration for bleeding

    Surgical reexploration of the mediastinum for excessive bleeding will be noted, along with any surgical explanation for the bleeding.

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2015. 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 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?

postoperative chest tube output (time frame: the first 24 postoperative hours). 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 9 Jan 2015.
