Active-control Randomised Trial Comparing 4-factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate With Frozen Plasma in Cardiac Surgery

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Bleeding Cardiac Surgery Patients
Interventions
Drug: Octaplex
Drug: Frozen Plasma Product, Human
Registration Number
NCT05523297
Lead Sponsor
Octapharma
Brief Summary

This is a multicentre, active-control randomized, prospective, Phase 3 study in adult cardiac surgery patients. Approximately 500 patients will be randomized at approximately 12 hospitals.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized to receive either 4-factor PCC (Octaplex) or frozen plasma (FP).

The study will compare the hemostatic treatment response to Octaplex versus FP, defined as effective if no additional systemic or surgical hemostatic intervention is required from 60 minutes to 24 hours after initiation of the first treatment dose.

The study will include adult (≥18 years old) patients who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and require coagulation factor replacement due to bleeding post-CPB and after adequate reversal of heparin with protamine (as assessed by the surgical staff based on clinical and laboratory criteria) during surgery, and who have a known (e.g., as indicated by INR) or suspected coagulation factor deficiency.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Adult (≥18 years old) patients undergoing any index cardiac surgery employing CPB

  2. Coagulation factor replacement with PCC or FP ordered in the operating room for:

    1. Management of bleeding, or
    2. Anticipated bleeding in a patient who has been on-pump for >2 hours or has undergone a complex procedure (e.g., aortocoronary bypass [ACB] plus aortic valve replacement)
  3. Coagulation factor deficiency, either known to exist (e.g., as indicated by elevated EXTEM clotting time [CT] or INR) or suspected based on the clinical situation

  4. Patients who have given written informed consent. In United States patients will provide informed consent prior to surgery. In Canada, informed consent will be obtained after surgery, in accordance with Article 3.7A of the 2018 Tri- Council Policy Statement on the Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients requiring additional hemostatic intervention60 minutes to 24 hours after first dose of IMP

Defined as 'effective' if no additional hemostatic intervention, such as administration of any systemic hemostatic agents (including platelets, cryoprecipitate, fibrinogen concentrate, activated recombinant factor VII, other coagulation factor products or a second dose of IMP) or any hemostatic interventions (including surgical re-opening for bleeding) is required from 60 minutes to 24 hours after initiation of the first dose of IMP.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients requiring additional hemostatic intervention based on hemoglobin level60 minutes to 24 hours after first dose of IMP

Defined as 'positive' if no additional hemostatic intervention is required and hemoglobin levels decrease by \<30% (after accounting for red cell transfusions) from 60 minutes to 24 hours after initiation of the first dose of IMP.
