About this study

Official title: Effect of Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIIa on Peri-operative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Major Burn Excision and Grafting

The purpose of the study is to see if a medication (Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIIa or NovoSeven), normally used to stop bleeding in persons with a bleeding disorder, will lower the amount of blood lost during burn surgery.

Read the detailed description

To identify the clinical use for Factor VIIa in the operating room to reduce blood loss and blood transfusion , determine the Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) pharmacokinetics in burned patients, determine if fFVIIa should be used to reduce peri-operative blood loss in patients undergoing excision greater than or equal to 20 percent of the total body surface area, determine the efficacy of the drug in burned patients undergoing excision of burn wounds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant Factor VIIa in people with Burns, run by United States Army Institute of Surgical Research at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 26 May 2016. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Total Number of Blood Components Transfused During and up to 24 Hours Post Operatively (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT00243243, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 May 2016.
