Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: safety;Primary end point(s): • Chest tube drainage 12 hours after surgery;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 hours after surgery;Main Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the dose response relationship regarding blood loss, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and clinical outcomes of MDCO-2010 vs. placebo and tranexamic acid in patients undergoing primary cardiac surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy: • Chest tube drainage at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively • Avoidance of any transfusions • Incidence of massive postoperative transfusion, defined as >5 units of red blood cells (RBCs) within 24 hours postoperatively • Number of allogeneic blood product (RBC, FFP or PC) units transfused within 24 hours postoperatively • Incidence of re-sternotomy for bleeding or cardiac tamponade within 24 hours postoperatively • Incidence of requirement for mechanical ventilation longer than 24 hours postoperatively • Time to extubation • Length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay Safety: • Occurrence of death within 30 days post-treatment • Occurrence of myocardial infarction within 30 days post-treatment • Occurrence of stroke within 30 days post-treatment • Incidence of convulsive seizures within 7 days post-treatment • Incidence of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 7 days post-treatment • Incidence of acute kidney injury • Incidence of clinically significant biomarker changes indicative of renal (creatinine), cardiac (troponin) and hepatic (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alkaline phosphatase [Alk P] and bilirubin) function • All adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic: • Pharmacokinetic – MDCO-2010 plasma and urine concentrations to calculate PK parameters • Pharmacodynamic – D-dimer – aPTT and ACT ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: throughout treatment and follow-up
