About this study

Official title: Optimal Protamine Dosing for Heparin Reversal Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Blinded Randomized Control Trial Comparing Two Strategies

The purpose of this study is to compare two different dosing strategies of a drug named protamine.

Being tested
Protamine fixed dose, Protamine ratio dose
Medical subject headings
Thrombosis

What participants receive

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

  • Protamine fixed doseDrug

    250 mg of protamine intravenously (IV), one time use

  • Protamine ratio doseDrug

    1mg of protamine per 100 units of heparin given intravenously (IV), one time use

Study groups in NCT05426031
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fixed Dose Protamine groupExperimentalParticipants in the group will receive a one time dose of 250 mg Protamine to reverse heparin during the standard cardiopulmonary bypass management during cardiac surgery.
Receives: Drug: Protamine fixed dose
Ratio Dose Protamine GroupActive comparatorParticipants in the group will receive a ratio dose of Protamine in a 1mg per 100 units of heparin ratio to reverse heparin during the standard cardiopulmonary bypass management during cardiac surgery.
Receives: Drug: Protamine ratio dose

What is being measured

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

  1. Activated Clotting Time

    Activated clotting times will be measured using standard coagulation monitor

    Measured: Baseline (before start of surgery)

  2. Activated Clotting Time

    Activated clotting times will be measured using standard coagulation monitor

    Measured: up to 4 hours (after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Additional Protamine Dosing

    Additional protamine dose will be measured in milligrams (mg)

    Measured: Up to 4 hours

  2. Chest Tube Output

    Measured in milliliters (ml)

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  3. Count of Participants Receiving Red Blood Cell Transfusion

    All transfusions were recorded in a data log for the count of participants that received a red blood cell transfusion.

    Measured: Up to 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Protamine fixed dose and Protamine ratio dose in people with Coagulation; Intravascular, run by University of Miami at 2 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 2 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 13 Aug 2024. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Activated Clotting Time (time frame: Baseline (before start of surgery)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Aug 2024.
