Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Restoring heparin responsivenessDuring surgery (from the time of the first surgical incision to the time at which the final suture or staple is placed)

The percentage of patients in each group in whom no further therapy containing antithrombin (i.e. frozen plasma or other antithrombin concentrates) is needed for restoring pre-CPB heparin responsiveness after administration of Atenativ or placebo, and for maintaining it during CPB

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Amounts of further therapy for restoring heparin responsivenessDuring surgery (from the time of the first surgical incision to the time at which the final suture or staple is placed)

The comparison between the amounts of further therapy containing antithrombin (i.e., FP or antithrombin concentrates) needed for restoring pre-CPB heparin responsiveness, after administration of Atenativ or placebo, and for maintaining it during CPB

Change in activated clotting time (ACT) valuesWithin 5 minutes following intravenous administration of 500 U/kg unfractionated heparin (UFH) and between 2-10 minutes after IMP infusion

The comparison between the change in ACT values following infusion of each of the Atenativ doses and placebo

Change in antithrombin plasma levelsWithin 10 minutes before IMP infusion and between 2 and 10 minutes after IMP infusion, within 10 minutes after the end of CPB, at the end of surgery, and at 24 hours after the start of IMP infusion

The comparison between the change in antithrombin plasma levels following infusion of each of the Atenativ doses and placebo

Change in heparin usageFrom end of IMP infusion to the end of surgery

The comparison between heparin usage following the infusion of each of the Atenativ doses and infusion of placebo

FP unit useFrom the start of IMP infusion until 24 hours following IMP infusion, and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first

The comparison between the number of units of FP transfused for reasons other than restoring or maintaining heparin responsiveness, both intraoperatively (from the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion until the start of CPB, during CPB, and from the end of CPB until the end of surgery) and postoperatively (from the end of surgery until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first), as well as cumulatively

Amounts of further antithrombin concentrate for maintaining heparin responsivenessFrom placement of the final suture or staple until 24 hours following IMP infusion, to discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first

The comparison between postoperative use of antithrombin concentrates for reasons other than restoring heparin responsiveness (from the end of surgery until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first)

Transfusion of allogenic blood productsFrom the start of IMP infusion until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first

The comparison between transfusion of other allogeneic blood products (e.g., red blood cells \[RBCs\], platelets, cryoprecipitate, whole blood, albumin, other transfusion), both intraoperatively (from the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion until the start of CPB, during CPB, and from the end of CPB until the end of surgery) and postoperatively (from the end of surgery until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first), as well as cumulatively

Administration of coagulation factor concentratesFrom the start of IMP infusion until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first

The comparison between administration of coagulation factor concentrates (fibrinogen concentrate, factor XIII concentrate, recombinant activated factor VII, other therapy)", both intraoperatively (from the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion until the start of CPB, during CPB, and from the end of CPB until the end of surgery) and postoperatively (from the end of surgery until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first), as well as cumulatively

Administration of other haemostatic-relevant therapiesFrom the start of IMP infusion until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first

The comparison between administration of other haemostatic-relevant therapies (i.e., tranexamic acid, aminocaproic acid, protamine, other therapies), both intraoperatively (from the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion until the start of CPB, during CPB, and from the end of CPB until the end of surgery) and postoperatively (from the end of surgery until 24 hours after the start of Atenativ or placebo infusion and until discharge or 7 days after surgery, whichever comes first), as well as cumulatively
