Trial summary

Coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Clot formation and clot stability are important factors in coagulation and hemostasis. As such platelet dysfunction and impaired thrombin generation play a central role in bleeding after cardiac surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Point-of-care Assessment of Thrombin Generation and Platelet Function in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Clot formation and clot stability are important factors in coagulation and hemostasis. As such platelet dysfunction and impaired thrombin generation play a central role in bleeding after cardiac surgery. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between point-of-care determined platelet function and thrombin generation and postoperative bleeding in infants and young children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass adjusting for clinically important confounding factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Platelet Function Tests and Thrombin Generation Tests, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2018. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact James D O'Leary (416-813-7654 ext. 228845, james.oleary@sickkids.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative chest tube blood loss (time frame: 24hr). 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 May 2018.
