Trial summary

Unfractionated heparin is most common in the anticoagulation management of V-V ECMO. However, many side effects of unfractionated heparin, such as HIT, antithrombin deficiency, etc seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Argatroban Applicated in Anticoagulation of V-V ECMO: A Randomized Controlled Study

Unfractionated heparin is most common in the anticoagulation management of V-V ECMO. However, many side effects of unfractionated heparin, such as HIT, antithrombin deficiency, etc seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Argatroban is kind of direct thrombin inhibitors, which could be used used as an alternative anticoagulant of unfractionated heparin when HIT or antithrombin deficiency, etc. At present, there is no power enough evidence for the application of argatroban in V-V ECMO. This study aims to evaluat the safety and effectiveness of argatroban in the anticoagulation management of V-V ECMO compared with unfractionated heparin.

Being tested
Argatroban, unfractionated heparin

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.

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?

incidence of ECMO related thrombotic events (time frame: 14 days). 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?
