About this study

Official title: Novel Protocol to Decrease Peri-procedural and Intra-operative Hemorrhage in Children With Alagille Syndrome

The goal of this interventional study is to test a hemostasis screening protocol and cardiac peri-procedural and post-operative hemostasis pathway to improving bleeding complications and improve patient survival for children with Alagille syndrome and complex cardiac conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Are children with Alagille syndrome with cardiac anomalies more likely to have acquired von Willebrand syndrome (a condition that causes increased bleeding)
  • Does implementation of a novel screening protocol to detect pre-operative bleeding conditions decrease intra-operative and/or post-operative bleeding complications and mortality risk?
  • Does implementation of a novel screening protocol to detect and treat bleeding conditions cause thrombotic complications?

Participants will undergo additional hematology and bleeding disorder screening prior to cardiac surgery. They will additionally undergo a detailed family screening for a history of bleeding by a genetic counselor.

Researchers will compare these findings with children who have similar complex cardiac conditions requiring surgery, but who do not have Alagille syndrome to see if bleeding conditions and complications are more or less common in children with Alagille syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to develop and implement a pre-operative screening protocol prior to major procedures or surgeries for children with Alagille syndrome, including cardiac catheterization and cardiothoracic surgery (pulmonary artery reconstruction).

Secondary Objectives

  1. Develop and implement an intra-operative protocol for children with Alagille syndrome and acquired von willebrand syndrome.
  2. Compare cardiac intra- and up to 48 hour post-operative bleeding complications, post-operative thrombotic complications within 30 days of surgery, and mortality for (a) children with Alagille syndrome with and without acquired von willebrand syndrome, and (b) children without Alagille syndrome.

This is a single-site study with the goal to enroll 40 patients over the course of the study period. All patients that are referred for Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction will be screened for eligibility. All patients will undergo standard of care pre-operative hematologic screening to evaluate for bleeding disorders (specifically platelet aggregation disorders and acquired von Willebrand Factor deficiency).

The study includes a pre-screening period of up to 4 weeks followed by a 12-months follow-up period as part of the standard of care following pulmonary artery reconstruction surgery for children with Alagille syndrome and a research related protocol for children without Alagille syndrome.

Patients would have blood drawn one time at least 2 weeks in advance of their cardiothoracic surgery. This is the screening protocol to understand if they have a bleeding disorder that would change their management in the operating room and after their surgery. For patients that are found to have a bleeding disorder requiring treatment, they would need post-operatively a blood test daily for up to 7 days total and another blood test weekly for 2 weeks and then once prior to discharge.

What participants receive

    Intervention will be expanded lab work-up for hematologic conditions, consultation by Hematology and tailored intra-operative and post-operative plan with aim to mitigate bleeding and hemorrhage risk, balancing thrombotic risk with this intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood product volume

    Measured: Intra-operatively through 24 hours post-operatively

  2. Chest tube output blood volume

    Measured: Intra-operatively through 24 hours post-operatively

  3. Number of participants with pulmonary hemorrhage

    Measured: Intra-operatively through 24 hours post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of thromboembolism events in patients with hematologic condition

    This outcome is to evaluate thrombosis risk for patients identified to have a hematologic condition who receive medication intra-operatively and post-operatively to decrease their risk of bleeding. Occurrence of thromboembolism (including blood vessel, intracardiac, stroke, mediastinal thrombosis events) will be assessed based on imaging.

    Measured: Intra-operatively through 30 days post-operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Assessment for bleeding disorder with tailored post-operative care in people with Alagille Syndrome and Pulmonary Artery Stenoses, run by Stanford 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 6 May 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. 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?

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?

Blood product volume (time frame: Intra-operatively through 24 hours post-operatively). The study lists 3 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 6 May 2023.
