Trial summary

Main objective of the study is to demonstrate that a prophylactic treatment with VWF factor concentrate after implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) reduces the frequency of clinically significant bleeding within 3 months after implantation in comparison to the usual care.

About this study

Main objective of the study is to demonstrate that a prophylactic treatment with VWF factor concentrate after implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) reduces the frequency of clinically significant bleeding within 3 months after implantation in comparison to the usual care. Adult patients with functional defects of VWF measured after implantation of continuous LVAD are randomly assigned to prophylactic treatment.

Read the detailed description

This time point was chosen because the bleeding events are maximal within the first 3 months after implantation.

  • Adult patients > 18 years who need a CF-LVAD due to advanced heart failure.
  • Functional To determine the potential indication of Wilfactin® in the field of CF-LVAD and avoid widespread use and to establish evidence-based recommendation To improve the knowledge of the role of VWF concentrate in bleeding and angiogenesis after CF-LVAD implantation and to provide some results about mechanism involved angiogenesis or hemostasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with clinically significant bleeding within 3 months after implantation

    A clinically significant bleeding event is defined as internal or external bleeding leading to death or prolonged hospitalization or requiring re-hospitalization, surgery or transfusion of at least 3 units of packed red blood cells or hemoglobin drop> 3g/dL and/or refractory to conventional approach

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Prophylactic treatment with Wilfactin in people with Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 11 Jul 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: deficient 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?

Percentage of patients with clinically significant bleeding within 3 months after implantation (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02488525, 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 11 Jul 2019.
