About this study

Official title: Post-Marketing Requirement Study to Evaluate the Safety of Octaplas™ Versus Plasma in Patients Undergoing Orthotopic Liver Transplantation With Special Emphasis on Hyperfibrinolysis.

Post-Marketing Requirement study to evaluate the safety of octaplas™ versus plasma in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The primary objective is to assess the incidence of hyperfibrinolysis in patients undergoing (OLT) receiving octaplas™ versus regular plasma (e.g., fresh frozen plasma and other FDA and AABB approved plasma products).

What participants receive

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

  • Octaplas™Biological

    Octaplas™ infusion solution for IV administration as prescribed by the treating physician.

  • PlasmaBiological

    Also called FFP and other approved plasma products

    Plasma as prescribed by the treating physician.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the incidence of hyperfibinolysis in patients undergoing OLT receiving octaplas™ versus regular plasma (e.g., fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and other FDA and American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) approved plasma products).

    The incidence of 'clinically relevant hyperfibrinolytic events' in patients receiving octaplas™ will be compared with the incidence rate in patients receiving plasma. For this trial a 'clinically relevant hyperfibrinolytic event' is defined as a decrease of at least 7.5% in the maximum amplitude (MA) as measured by the thromboelastography (TEG) or rotational thromboelastography (ROTEM) within 30 minutes after MA is achieved and the event is associated with bleeding requiring intervention.

    Measured: 3 days (perioperative period plus post-operative follow-up)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The safety of octaplas™ in comparison to plasma will be assessed by monitoring the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (i.e., transfusion reactions).

    The incidence of all adverse drug reactions (i.e., transfusion reactions) during the study period among patients receiving octaplas™ in comparison to standard plasma products.

    Measured: 3 days (perioperative period plus post-operative follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coagulopathy and Endstage Liver Disease, run by Octapharma at 4 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?

The sponsor lists 4 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 7 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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: FDA released requirement to complete study). 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?

To assess the incidence of hyperfibinolysis in patients undergoing OLT receiving octaplas™ versus regular plasma (e.g., fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and other FDA and American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) approved plasma products). (time frame: 3 days (perioperative period plus post-operative follow-up)). 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 7 Mar 2018.
