  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 160 patients were included to the study with written informed consent. 4 patients did not undergo the planned surgical procedure due to medical reasons and therefore had to be excluded subsequently.

Who may be able to join

  • age ≥ 18 years
  • cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass

Who cannot join

  • cardiac surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass
  • age < 18 years
  • no written consent

About this study

The primary aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and time course of the occurrence of protamine/heparin antibodies in patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass.

The second aim was to identify triggers of immunization.

The third aim of this study was to evaluate a potential clinical impact of protamine/heparin antibodies and their platelet-activating properties leading to thromboembolism and other adverse outcomes.

Being tested
"ZYMUTEST™ HIA" immunoglobulin g ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay )
Keywords
Thrombin generation, Protamine
Medical subject headings
Thrombocytopenia

What participants receive

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

  • "ZYMUTEST™ HIA" immunoglobulin g ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay )Diagnostic test

    The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is an in vitro test done in the laboratory to detect specific antibodies against heparin/platelet factor-4 and protamine/heparin complexes.

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of protamine/heparin antibodies

    Measured: preoperatively until postoperative day 10

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Potential triggers

    The presence of the following conditions was evaluated preoperatively:

    • repeated surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
    • bleeding disorders
    • age in years
    • height in meters
    • weight in kilograms
    • weight and height will be combined to report the body-mass-index in kg/m^2
    • previous thromboembolic event
    • diabetes mellitus with/without insulin treatment
    • cardiac function and valve diseases
    • preoperative presence of peripheral artery disease
    • preoperative presence of renal diseases
    • fish allergy
    • men after vasectomy

    Measured: preoperatively

  2. Clinical impact

    Information about the following events were collected until day 10 or discharge of the patients:

    • cardiovascular events: thrombosis, tachycardic atrial fibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation
    • delay in platelet count recovery
    • difference in severity of thrombocytopenia (platelet count in 10^9/l)
    • cerebrovascular events: stroke, seizure
    • kidney function: creatinine in mg/dl, urea in mg/dl, need for renal replacement therapy
    • inflammation parameters: white blood count in 10^9/l, C-reactive protein in mg/dl

    Measured: until postoperative day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombocytopenia and Antibodies Drug Specific, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 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 21 Aug 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 Austria. 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?

prevalence of protamine/heparin antibodies (time frame: preoperatively until postoperative day 10). 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 21 Aug 2024.
