Trial summary

In France in 2021, 11.6% of deliveries were complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), including 3.0% by severe PPH (the bleeding volume exceeds 1000 ml). Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Concordance Between the Measurement of Whole Blood Fibrinogen by the qLabs®FIB Analyzer and Its Measurement by Conventional Method (Clauss Fibrinogen) in the Context of Severe Postpartum Haemorrhage: a Prospective Multicenter Non-interventional Study

In France in 2021, 11.6% of deliveries were complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), including 3.0% by severe PPH (the bleeding volume exceeds 1000 ml). Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases. A plasma fibrinogen concentration below 2 g/L is considered as a critical threshold which constitutes a marker of severity of PPH and is significantly associated with the occurrence of severe PPH. Measuring the concentration of fibrinogen using a rapid test, simple to perform and interpret, available in the delivery room could optimize the management of severe PPH. The qLabs®FIB analyzer distributed by the Stago Biocare laboratory for the rapid determination of the fibrinogen concentration at the patient's bedside could meet this objective.

Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases.

The qLabs®FIB analyzer distributed by Stago Biocare laboratory for the rapid determination of the fibrinogen concentration at the patient's bedside could meet this objective.

The hypothesis of the study is a concordance between the measurement of fibrinogen by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring system and by the Clauss fibrinogen assay in laboratory to identify patients with a fibrinogen level < 2 g/L.

The prospects are to provide an easy-to-use delocalized biology tool for early diagnosis of a fibrinogen concentration < 2g predictive of an unfavorable evolution in the context of severe PPH.

What participants receive

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

  • Fibrinogen concentration by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring systemBiological

    A drop of blood (~15 μL) is taken from the blood sample for the complete haemostasis assessment (prothrombin level, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen). This assessment is part of the usual management of severe postpartum haemorrhage. It is carried out urgently in the hospital's medical biology laboratory at the start of treatment (T1) and during or at the end of treatment of the haemorrhage (T2). This drop of blood will allow the measurement of the fibrinogen concentration by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring system for the study at these two times.

Study groups in NCT06255002
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PatientsPatients giving birth in the Cochin Port Royal and Necker Enfants Malades (APHP) maternity units and cared for severe postpartum haemorrhage defined as bleeding greater than 1000 ml within 24 hours of postpartum, regardless of the route of delivery (vaginal delivery and cesarean section).
Receives: Biological: Fibrinogen concentration by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring system

What is being measured

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

  1. Agreement between fibrinogen measurement by qLabs®FIB and by the Clauss method

    Calculation of the average bias and the 95% limits of agreement between the measurement of qLabs®FIB fibrinogen in the delivery room and Clauss fibrinogen at the medical biology laboratory using the Bland and Altman graphic method. A difference of 0.1 g between the two techniques will be considered acceptable to identify patients with a fibrinogen level < 2 g/L.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of the ease of use of qLabs®FIB by the anesthesia team

    Ease of use of the qLabs®FIB assessed by a numerical scale between 0-10 by the anesthesia team.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Evaluation of the time taken to obtain the fibrinogen concentration using the 2 methods

    Time to obtain the fibrinogen result with the qLabs®FIB and the Clauss method at the medical biology laboratory using the emergency circuit proposed by the laboratory.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Evaluation of measurement failure by qLabs®FIB

    Number of failed fibrinogen measurements with qLabs®FIB defined as the absence of results returned by the monitor.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

An observational study of Postpartum Hemorrhage, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites in France.

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 3 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 28 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Agreement between fibrinogen measurement by qLabs®FIB and by the Clauss method (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT06255002, which also lists 15 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 28 May 2026.
