About this study

This study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System comprised of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer with the QPlus Cartridge in patients taking anitplatelet medication that are scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

The Quantra System is a fully integrated and automated in vitro diagnostic device which uses SEER Sonorheometry, an ultrasound-based technology, to characterize the viscoelastic properties of a whole blood sample during coagulation. The Quantra QPlus Cartridge was developed to monitor hemostasis during major surgical procedures in adult patients. The cartridge consists of four independent channels each containing different sets of reagents, which provide four measurements performed in parallel yielding six parameters that depict the functional status of a patient's coagulation system.

This single-site, prospective, observational study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System as compared to standard coagulation tests and comparable measures determined using TEG in patients taking antiplatelet medication that are scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Quantra Clot Time test results to TEG test results.

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and TEG.

    Measured: Prior to surgery (Baseline)

  2. Comparison of Quantra Clot Stiffness test results to TEG test results.

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and TEG.

    Measured: Prior to surgery (Baseline)

  3. Comparison of Quantra Clot Time and Clot Stiffness test results to TEG test results.

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and TEG.

    Measured: Post-bypass (10 to 20 minutes after protamine administration).

  4. Comparison of Quantra Clot Time test results to TEG test results.

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and TEG.

    Measured: Post-bypass (10 to 20 minutes after protamine administration).

  5. Comparison of Quantra Fibrinogen Contribution to Clot Stiffness test results to laboratory fibrinogen

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and laboratory fibrinogen testing

    Measured: Prior to surgery (Baseline)

  6. Comparison of Quantra Fibrinogen Contribution to Clot Stiffness test results to laboratory fibrinogen

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and laboratory fibrinogen testing

    Measured: Post-bypass (10 to 20 minutes after protamine administration).

  7. Comparison of Quantra Platelet Contribution to Clot Stiffness test results to laboratory platelet count

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and laboratory fibrinogen testing

    Measured: Post-bypass (10 to 20 minutes after protamine administration).

  8. Comparison of Quantra Platelet Contribution to Clot Stiffness test results to laboratory platelet count

    Coagulation function assessed by Quantra and platelet count

    Measured: Prior to surgery (Baseline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Loss, Surgical, run by HemoSonics LLC 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 1 Jul 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 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?

Comparison of Quantra Clot Time test results to TEG test results. (time frame: Prior to surgery (Baseline)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Jul 2020.
