Trial summary

A certain molecule floating in the blood may represent a risk of lung injury after a transfusion. We are determining whether detection of this molecule on a simple blood clotting test will predict the development of lung injury due to transfusion in bleeding patients with chronic liver disease.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patient with chronic Liver disease admitted to an intensive care unit with a gastrointestinal bleed and INR> 1.5 who may receive plasma transfusion therapy.

Inclusion criteria: Subjects will be eligible to participate in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Admit to an ICU due to gastrointestinal bleeding AND an INR > 1.5
  2. Patient has chronic liver disease defined as 1 or more of the three following diagnostic criteria:
  3. Previous diagnosis of chronic liver disease OR Imaging or biopsy diagnosis of cirrhosis
  4. Signs of portal hypertension (ascites, varices, hypersplenism)
  5. Laboratory evidence of synthetic dysfunction (INR>1.5, Bilirubin> 2.0, Albumin< 2.5) AND ≥2 physical exam findings on admission associated with chronic liver disease (palmar erythema, spider angiomata, asterixis, caput medusa, gynecomastia)

Exclusion criteria: Subjects will be ineligible to participate in the study if they meet any of the following criteria

  1. Patient under age 18 OR pregnant OR incarcerated
  2. Patient meets criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (PaO2/FiO2<165)
  3. Patient admitted to ICU for re-bleed on same hospital admission OR has already received >4 units of plasma.
  4. History of inheritable or acquired clotting or bleeding disorder
  5. Patient actively anticoagulated or has recently received (within 72h) vitamin K antagonists, direct thrombin inhibitors, heparins or Xa antagonists

About this study

Official title: Endogenous Heparinoid Interference With Coagulation on Thromboelastogram as a Predictive Biomarker for Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)

A certain molecule floating in the blood may represent a risk of lung injury after a transfusion. We are determining whether detection of this molecule on a simple blood clotting test will predict the development of lung injury due to transfusion in bleeding patients with chronic liver disease.

Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. TRALI (consensus definition- with exception of absence of other acute lung injury risk factors)

    Measured: 0-54 hours post enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2)

    Measured: 0-54 hours post enrollment

  2. Bleeding complications

    Baveno V criteria

    Measured: 0-5 days post-enrollmnet

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury and Chronic Liver Disease, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 2 sites 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?

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 30 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment). 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?

TRALI (consensus definition- with exception of absence of other acute lung injury risk factors) (time frame: 0-54 hours post enrollment). 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 30 Jan 2017.
