What participants receive

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

  • HeparinDrug

    Based on patient body weight (UI/kg)

  • cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rateProcedure or surgery

    Based on patient body weight (L/min/m2)

Study groups in NCT03302195
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupActive comparatorHeparin dose and cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate are calculated using total body weight. An initial 400 IU/Kg Heparin dose will be administered, with an additional dose of 75 IU/kg if the activated clotting time remains below the 425 seconds target value. The cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate of 2.4 L/min/m2 of body surface area will be calculated.
Receives: Drug: Heparin; Procedure: cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate
Intervention group AExperimentalHeparin dose is adjusted for lean body weight and cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate is calculated using total body weight. An initial 400 IU/Kg Heparin dose will be administered, with an additional dose of 75 IU/kg if the activated clotting time remains below the 425 seconds target value. The cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate of 2.4 L/min/m2 of body surface area will be calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Allogeneic transfusions of red blood cells

    Percentage of subjects avoiding any allogeneic transfusions of red blood cells

    Measured: Seven days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Allogeneic transfusions of blood products

    Percentage of subjects avoiding any allogeneic transfusions

    Measured: Seven days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first

  2. Units of blood product transfusions

    Number of units of transfused blood products

    Measured: Seven days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first

  3. Massive red blood cell transfusions

    Percentage of subjects avoiding massive red blood cell transfusion (more than 5 units)

    Measured: Seven days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first

  4. Post-operative complications

    Monitoring the safety of strategies by monitoring post-operative complications

    Measured: Post-operatively from day 0 up to first hospital discharge

  5. Bleeding

    Per- and post-operative bleeding

    Measured: Peroperative, 4 and 24 hours post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Heparin and cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow rate in people with Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Obesity, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.

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 30 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hugo Tremblay, Bachelor (418-656-8711 ext. 3797, hugo.tremblay@criucpq.ulaval.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Allogeneic transfusions of red blood cells (time frame: Seven days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first). 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 10 Mar 2023.
