About this study

Official title: Comparison of a Single Dose Fibrinogen With Placebo and the Number of Blood Transfusions After Ascending Aorta Surgery (FIBTEG Study)

The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: Leads a primary coagulation corrected with a single dose of fibrinogen concentrate after ascending aorta-arc reconstruction to a decrease in the number of allogenic blood transfusions, compared to placebo?

Read the detailed description

Cardiothoracic surgery (CTC) is associated with blood loss and an increased risk for impaired coagulation by the use of a CBP. Coagulation is a process of primary hemostasis by adhesion of trombocytes and aggregation, followed by secondary coagulation and fibrin formation. During CTC fibrinogen is the first coagulation factor which reaches critical concentration necessary for clotting. Point of Care clotting assay with thromboelastography (TEG) provides qualitative information on coagulation factors and clot strength. Specific coagulation factor correction of impaired clotting improves clot strength and may reduces the number of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusions, resulting in possible reduction of postoperative blood loss and reduction of the risk of re-operation in the short and long term. The hypothesis of this study is that a single dose fibrinogen concentrate immediately after CTC leads to a decrease in the number of allogenic blood transfusions in patients with clinically impaired clotting, verified by TEG.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Haemocomplettan P in people with Hemorrhage and Thoracic Aneurysm, run by St. Antonius Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of transfused blood products (time frame: 24 hours after surgery). 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 10 May 2019.
