About this study

Official title: Blood Caogulation Profile After Liver Resection. Comparison of Conventional Blood Coagulation Tests With Thromboelastography

Liver resection is the treatment of choice in patients with primary or metastatic liver neoplasms, benign liver neoplasms and numerous biliary diseases. In these patients, in the postoperative period,several factors can induce a transient alteration of the synthesis hepatic coagulation factors such as size of the lesion liver, underlying liver disease (e.g. malignancy), pre-existing cirrhosis, duration of both surgery and vascular clamping, and blood loss. So far, some studies have shown that conventional coagulation tests indicate a hypocoagulable state which may lead to excessive transfusions of blood products or an increased risk of thromboembolic events related to delayed initiation of thromboprophylaxis in the postoperative period. In an attempt to optimizing the state of coagulation, recently there is increased interest for viscoelastic coagulation testing (thromboelastography and rotational thromboelastometry). The results of these studies have shown that these patients often have a hypercoagulable and non hypocoagulable profile as evidenced by conventional coagulation tests.

the purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the combination of coagulation tests conventional systems and new thromboelastography can increase the quality of surveillance of the coagulation state after liver surgery, in order to optimize the management of postoperative blood coagulation of these patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • thromboelastography (TEG®6s)Diagnostic test

    blood samples for conventional coagulation test were obtained in vacutainer tubes from an arterial line. Two blood citrate samples (3 ml, sodium citrate solution, Vacuette® Blood Tubes) were also collected for the laboratory conventional coagulation tests (aPTT, INR, D-dimer levels, Antithrombin III) and TEG®6s assessment. The TEG parameters include reaction time (R), clot formation time (K), angle or α (K angle), maximum amplitude (MA), and amplitude at 30 minutes (LY30)

What is being measured

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

  1. blood coagulation profile

    Evaluate whether to use TEG®6s, in addition to coagulation tests conventional, optimizes the postoperative hemocoagulation management of patients undergoing resective liver surgery in terms of consumption transfusion of plasma and blood products.

    Measured: 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coagulation Disorder, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS 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 2 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 25 Jan 2024. 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?

blood coagulation profile (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 NCT05824013, 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 25 Jan 2024.
