About this study

Official title: The Neonatal Hemorrhagic Risk Assessment in Thrombocytopenia Study - Neo-HAT Study

This is a prospective longitudinal study that evaluates Platelet Function Analyzer-100 (PFA-100) CT-ADPs (closure time-ADP) and incidence of bleeding using the Neonatal Bleeding Assessment Tool - Neo-BAT in preterm neonates <32 weeks gestational age or with a birth weight <1500 grams and with different degrees of thrombocytopenia.

The investigators hypothesized that PFA-100 CT-ADP, a global in vitro test of primary hemostasis, will be a better predictor of clinical bleeding in neonates than platelet count alone. A bleeding risk assessment marker could help physicians more accurately determine the risk/benefit ratio of platelet transfusions, guiding platelet transfusion decisions in neonates with thrombocytopenia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Neo-BAT score (Neo-BAT: Neonatal Bleeding Assessment Tool)

    The NeoBAT is a simple, reliable and objective tool for the standardized assessment of bleeding in neonates, which was developed by an international team of experts based on the World Health Organization bleeding score for adults.

    Measured: study period: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of thrombotic events

    Measured: up to post-conceptional age 36 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombocytopenia, run by Karolinska Institutet at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 17 Nov 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, Sweden. 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?

Neo-BAT score (Neo-BAT: Neonatal Bleeding Assessment Tool) (time frame: study period: 5 days). 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 NCT02371330, 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 17 Nov 2017.
