About this study

Official title: Early Administration of Fibrinogen Concentrate in Polytraumatized Patients With Thromboelastometry Suggestive of Hypofibrinogenemia: a Randomized Feasibility Trial

This is a randomized feasibility trial conducted with severe trauma patients. At admission patients presented hypofibrinogenemia, hypotension and tachycardia. The primary outcome was feasibility assessed by the proportion of patients receiving the allocated treatment up to 60 minutes after randomization. The treatments regards to receive or not to receive an early replacement of fibrinogen.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized feasibility trial conducted between December 2015 and January 2017 with severe trauma patients (Index of Shock Severity [ISS] ≥ 15) admitted to the emergency room of a large trauma center. At admission patients presented qualitative hypofibrinogenemia (FIBTEM A5 ≤ 9 mm), hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) and tachycardia (heart rate > 100 bpm). The primary outcome was feasibility assessed by the proportion of patients receiving the allocated treatment up to 60 minutes after randomization meaning receive replacement through fibrinogen concentrate (50mg per kg of body weight) by the intervention group and not to receive an early replacement of fibrinogen by control group.

    Thromboembolic events

    Measured: First two weeks after hospital admission

  9. Reoperate due to bleeding

    Reoperate due to bleeding

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of operating room stay

  10. Ventilator-free days

    Ventilator-free days

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of operating room stay

  11. Vasopressor-free days

    Vasopressor-free days

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of operating room stay

  12. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of operating room stay

  13. Length of intensive care unit stay

    Length of intensive care unit stay

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of intensive care unit stay

  14. In-hospital Deaths

    In-hospital Deaths

    Measured: Up to four weeks - Through the Length of operating room stay

  15. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on the first day after intensive care unit admission

    The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a mortality prediction score that is based on the degree of dysfunction of 6 organ systems.

    The SOFA score can be used to determine the level of organ dysfunction and the mortality risk in ICU patients.

    High values means worst outcomes

    Measured: First day after intensive care unit admission

  16. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on the fifth day after intensive care unit admission

    The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a mortality prediction score that is based on the degree of dysfunction of 6 organ systems.

    The SOFA score can be used to determine the level of organ dysfunction and the mortality risk in ICU patients.

    High values means worst outcomes

    Measured: Fifth day after intensive care unit admission

  17. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on the seventh day after intensive care unit admission

    The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a mortality prediction score that is based on the degree of dysfunction of 6 organ systems.

    The SOFA score can be used to determine the level of organ dysfunction and the mortality risk in ICU patients.

    High values means worst outcomes

    Measured: Seventh day after intensive care unit admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fibrinogen concentrate in people with Trauma and Bleeding Disorder, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 1 Aug 2018. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 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?

Feasibility assessed by the proportion of patients receiving the allocated treatment up to 60 minutes after randomization (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 NCT02864875, 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 1 Aug 2018.
