Trial summary

The investigator is testing blood samples to compare the results of two different techniques. Since blood loss and the need for blood transfusions continue to be major problems after heart surgery and other types of surgery, the blood clotting levels are constantly checked during heart surgery as part of clinical… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of INR Determined by Point-of-Care to Standard Laboratory Testing Before and After Reversal of Heparin in Cardiac Surgery

The investigator is testing blood samples to compare the results of two different techniques. Since blood loss and the need for blood transfusions continue to be major problems after heart surgery and other types of surgery, the blood clotting levels are constantly checked during heart surgery as part of clinical care.The purpose of this study is to compare the INR levels in blood before and after the heart bypass during surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coagulation Disorder, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 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 United States. 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?

Change in correlation between laboratory and point of care INR (time frame: Baseline, Within ten minutes of completion of bypass). 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 NCT03267823, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jun 2019.
