Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate whether postoperative treatment with either of two doses (17.5 or 35 IU/kg LBM) of recombinant factor FXIII (rFXIII) is effective in avoiding any allogeneic transfusions in cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery subjects with a pre-operative transfusion risk score of 2 or 3;Secondary Objective: To document the safety profile of rFXIII used as replenishment therapy in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. ;Primary end point(s): Percentage of subjects avoiding any allogeneic transfusions (RBC, FFP, platelets, cryoprecipitate, fibrinogen concentrate, clotting factor concentrate) for seven days post-operative or until discharge, whichever comes first.
