About this study

Prospective cohort study on adult cardiac surgery patients. Platelet function evaluated before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Bleeding and transfusion recorded. Primary endpoint is finding the association between postoperative platelet function and bleeding.

Read the detailed description

Preoperative platelet function is a known determinant of postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery patients (1,2). Conversely, there is a lack of information with respect to postoperative platelet function and postoperative bleeding, and specific cut-off values have not been identified yet.

This study will verify the hypothesis that postoperative platelet function is associated with bleeding, and will test the ability of platelet function tests (PFTs) in predicting severe postoperative bleeding. Additional analyses linking platelet function to other preoperative and intraoperative conditions are planned.

Patients: Enrollment between February 2017 and January 2018. 800 consecutive adult cardiac surgery patients are considered based on our usual surgical activity. Exclusion criteria: unwillingness to participate, known congenital coagulopathy. Moderate/severe bleeding occurs in about 12% of our patient population. Considering a 15% dropout rate, there are about 80 predicted events. Power analysis: to build a predictive model, at least 60 events of moderate/severe bleeding are required. The study will be stopped at reaching (whatever comes first) 800 enrolled pts; 60 events; or 31st January 2018.

Methods: all the patients will receive a preoperative (in the operating room) PFT (ADPtest and TRAPtest) using the aggregometry Multiplate (Roche). The same test will be repeated after protamine administration at the end of CPB.

Definitions of bleeding: 12-hours chest drain blood loss; moderate/severe bleeding adjudicated based on the universal definition of perioperative bleeding (3).

Statistics: ROC analysis with identification of adequate cut-off values and definition of the PPV and NPV

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Platelet Dysfunction Due to Drugs and Bleeding, run by IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato at 1 site in Italy.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2020. 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 Italy. 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 bleeding (time frame: 12 hours). 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 NCT03121898, which also lists 3 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 22 Jun 2020.
