About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Prehospital Trial Comparing Kcentra Plus Standard of Care to Standard of Care Alone in Trauma Patient With Hemorrhagic Shock

This is a pilot trial being performed to evaluate the feasibility, to include the ability of EMS to identify patients in shock and the ability to package, store, and administer Kcentra in the field.

Read the detailed description

Prospective randomized trials have shown that 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4FPCCs) result in more rapid correction of coagulopathy and greater likelihood of achieving hemostasis in patients receiving vitamin K antagonists who require emergent operations or who are bleeding. 4FPCCs have not been studied in the pre-hospital setting as a primary resuscitative adjunct. The investigators believe the effects of Kcentra to prevent or treat coagulopathy early after injury combined with its ability to treat the endotheliopathy of trauma and prevent organ failure will results in improved outcomes in severely injured trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. The investigators have chosen to study a population of trauma patients in severe hemorrhagic shock (SBP < 70mmHg) because this population is at greatest risk for developing acute coagulopathy of trauma and has the greatest potential to benefit from the proposed therapy.

    Number of study drug kits opened and given to patients prior to hospital arrival.

    Measured: First 24 hours after injury

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mortality

    To evaluate mortality at 3 hour, 24 hour, and 30 days

    Measured: First 30 days after injury

  2. Hospital Free Days

    Number of days out of the hospital

    Measured: First 30 days after injury

  3. ICU Free Days

    Number of days out of the ICU

    Measured: First 30 days after injury

  4. Ventilator Free Days

    Number of days not on a ventilator

    Measured: First 30 days after injury

  5. Blood Transfusions

    The amount of blood products transfused in the first 24 hours

    Measured: First 24 hours after injury

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prothrombin Complex Concentrate, Human in people with Trauma Injury, run by Oregon Health and Science University 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 19 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 15 Dec 2023. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Feasibility of study drug administration (time frame: First 24 hours after injury). 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 15 Dec 2023.
