About this study

Official title: Use of Recombinant FVIIa to Mitigate Clopidogrel Anti-platelet Therapy-Mediated Bleeding in a Single Centre, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Clinical Trial

This trial is conducted in the United States of the America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of activated recombinant human factor VII to mitigate experimentally-induced bleeding in healthy volunteers treated with clopidogrel (Plavix®).

Conditions
Haemostasis, Healthy
Being tested
eptacog alfa (activated), clopidogrel, placebo

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • eptacog alfa (activated)Drug

    Also called activated recombinant human factor VII

    If subject is eligible to continue after clopidogrel treatment, three different doses of trial drug is administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over two to three minutes followed by post-trial biopsies

  • clopidogrelDrug

    Following a baseline biopsy (B0) subjects will receive oral treatment with an initial 300 mg loading dose followed by daily 75 mg doses for at least 3 additional days. If the target platelet inhibition (PI) is achieved, the subject will undergo punch biopsy 1 (B1).

  • placeboDrug

    If subject is eligible to continue after clopidogrel treatment, three different doses of trial drug is administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over two to three minutes followed by post-trial biopsies

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bleeding duration measured in minutes

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Blood volume reported in millilitres

    Measured: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  2. Clot dynamics on the TEG (thromboelastograph hemostasis analyzer): R in minutes

    Measured: Time to onset of clot formation

  3. Clot dynamics on the TEG (thromboelastograph hemostasis analyzer): K in minutes

    Measured: Time to achieve 20 mm clot strength

  4. Adverse events, including thrombotic events

    Measured: From screening to day 11-18

  5. Change in coagulation-related parameters after pre-biopsy

    Measured: From baseline to 15 minutes after pre-biopsy

  6. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B2

    Measured: From baseline to 3 hours after B2

  7. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B3

    Measured: From baseline to 1 hour after B3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing eptacog alfa (activated) and clopidogrel in people with Haemostasis and Healthy, run by Novo Nordisk A/S 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 2 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Nov 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Bleeding duration measured in minutes (time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Nov 2016.
