Study to Obtain Volume Effect and Safety Data on 6 % Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 in Pediatric and Adult Patients Undergoing Major Elective Surgery

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Plasma Volume Substitution (Hypovolemia) Including Massive Hemorrhage
Registration Number
NCT01127477
Lead Sponsor
Fresenius Kabi Japan
Brief Summary

The study shall evaluate the volume effect and safety of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 for restoration and maintenance of hemodynamics during the investigational period in patients undergoing major elective surgery. Up to 50 mL 6% hydroxyethyl starch/kg body weight will be administered from start of surgery until two hours after end of surgery. The study hypothesis is that 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 will have a reliable volume effect and can be safely administered up to the dose limit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Volume EffectSaved albumin: during surgery; Time course of hemodynamic stability: from end of surgery until 24 h after surgery

Volume effect will be assessed by evaluating the following parameter:

1. Saved albumin:

For adult patients: Amount of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES130) administered during surgery once 1000 mL of HES130 are exceeded.

For pediatric patients: Amount of HES130 administered during surgery once 10 mL HES130/kg body weight are exceeded.

2. Time course of hemodynamic stability

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fluid BalanceFrom one day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia until 48 hours after end of surgery

Fluid balance = fluid input vs. fluid output

HemodynamicsFrom one day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia until 48 hours after end of surgery
CVPImmediately before or after induction of anesthesia (depending on routine procedures), every hour after skin incision, and 2 hours after surgery

Central venous pressure (CVP); not mandatory for pediatric patients

HematologyOne day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, every hour after skin incision (adults), end of surgery (adults), 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery
Clinical ChemistryOne day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery (adults), 2 hours after end of surgery (pediatric patients), and 24 hours after end of surgery
HemostasisOne day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery (adults), 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery
Body TemperatureOne day before (pediatric patients)/ immediately before (adults) induction of anesthesia, end of surgery, 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery
ECGScreening, 2 hours and 24 hours after end of surgery

Not mandatory for pediatric patients

UrinalysisImmediately before or after induction of anesthesia (depending on routine procedures) and 24 hours after surgery

Not mandatory for pediatric patients

Local and Systemic ToleranceAfter each administration of study drug
(Serious) Adverse EventsFrom signing informed consent until 28 days follow up
