About this study

Official title: An Observational Cohort Study of the Risk of Thromboembolic Events Among Adult Patients Treated With KCENTRA® Compared With Plasma for Urgent Reversal of Vitamin K Antagonist Therapy in the Setting of Acute Major Bleeding

This observational cohort study is designed to obtain product safety information from the routine clinical setting within large, diverse, community-based populations. In the setting of acute major bleeding in which patients are treated for Vitamin K antagonist reversal, the risk of thromboembolic events (TEE) in patients treated with Kcentra® and in patients treated with plasma will be assessed.

What participants receive

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

  • Kcentra®Biological

    Also called Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (Human), Beriplex

    Kcentra®, Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (Human), is a blood coagulation factor replacement product that contains coagulation Factors II, VII, IX and X, and antithrombotic Proteins C and S as a lyophilized concentrate.

  • PlasmaBiological

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RetrospectiveRetrospective cohort of adults hospitalized for major bleeding during 2008 to 2013 who receive plasma for urgent reversal of acquired coagulation factor deficiency induced by oral VKA therapy
Receives: Biological: Plasma
ProspectiveProspective parallel cohort of adults hospitalized for major bleeding during 2014 to 2020 who either receive Kcentra® or plasma for urgent reversal of acquired coagulation factor deficiency induced by oral VKA therapy
Receives: Biological: Kcentra®; Biological: Plasma

What is being measured

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

  1. Risk of thromboembolic events (TEE) for patients without a recent history of TEE

    The risk of confirmed thromboembolic events (TEE) will be estimated for patients without a recent history of TEE treated with Kcentra® compared to patients treated with plasma. The index date is the date of acute VKA reversal for major bleeding event.

    Measured: Within 45 days after the index date

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Risk of thromboembolic events

    The risk of confirmed TEE and confirmed fatal TEE will be each estimated for patients treated with Kcentra® compared to patients treated with plasma, overall and for patients in the following subgroups:

    • Recent history of TEE
    • No recent history of TEE
    • Any history of TEE

    The index date is the date of acute VKA reversal for major bleeding event.

    Measured: Within 45 days after the index date

  2. Risk of death from any cause

    The risk of death from any cause will be estimated for patients treated with Kcentra® compared to patients treated with plasma, overall and for patients in the following subgroups:

    • Recent history of TEE
    • No recent history of TEE
    • Any history of TEE

    The index date is the date of acute VKA reversal for major bleeding event.

    Measured: Within 45 days after the index date

  3. Rates of use of VKA therapy after the index date

    The rates of use of VKA therapy or other antithrombotic agents will be assessed among patients with and without any history of TEE. The index date is the date of acute VKA reversal for major bleeding event.

    Measured: Within 90 days after the index date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemorrhage, run by CSL Behring 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 2021. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Risk of thromboembolic events (TEE) for patients without a recent history of TEE (time frame: Within 45 days after the index date). 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 26 May 2021.
