About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Preoperative Antithrombin Supplementation on Postoperative Levels of Antithrombin in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

The purpose of this trial is to study the effects of preoperative antithrombin supplementation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in order to maintain antithrombin levels in a range greater than 58% of functional activity and, eventually, to decrease negative clinical outcomes during the ICU stay.

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  4. ICU Stay Duration

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  5. In-hospital Postoperative Mortality

    Measured: 70 days after ICU admission (maximum)

  6. Heparin Resistance

    Percentage of subjects with heparin resistance defined as failure to reach an activated clotting time >450 seconds after a dose of up to 400 IU/kg of heparin, or failure to maintain this activated clotting time value despite heparin supplementations of 100 IU/kg per each dose with an interval of at least 30 minutes between doses

    Measured: Immediately after anesthesia induction

  7. Postoperative Blood Loss in First 12 Hours

    Blood loss defined as the amount of blood collected in the cardiotomy reservoir from ICU admission through the following 12 hours

    Measured: ICU admission through 12 hours post-operative

  8. Need for Blood Products

    Number of units of packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and/or platelets needed

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  9. Percentage of Subjects Needing Surgical Re-exploration

    Percentage of subjects needing surgical re-exploration resulting from bleeding

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  10. Percentage of Subjects With Low Cardiac Syndrome

    Percentage of subjects with low cardiac syndrome defined as the need for major inotropic support or intra-aortic balloon pump

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  11. Percentage of Subjects With Renal Dysfunction

    Percentage of subjects with renal dysfunction defined as an increase of serum creatinine levels to >2.0 and twice the baseline level or need for renal replacement therapy

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  12. Mechanical Ventilation Duration

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

  13. Length of Hospital Stay

    Length of hospital stay (days) in both groups was defined as the discharge date minus the surgery date plus 1 day, during a maximum of 70 days after ICU admission.

    Measured: During ICU stay (maximum 70 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Antithrombin III in people with Acquired Antithrombin III Deficiency and Coronary Artery Bypass, run by Instituto Grifols, S.A. at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 20 Sep 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 Italy. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 4 Aug 2016). 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?

Postoperative ATIII Levels at the ICU Admission (time frame: ICU admission). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00823082, 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 20 Sep 2016.
