Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the dose of intraoperative human fibrinogen concentrate required to achieve physiological levels of fibrin polymerization of 8 to 13 mm as measured by the ROTEM measure of fibrin-based clotting: FibTEM MCF (equating to plasma fibrinogen concentrations of 1.5 to 2.5 g/L), immediately prior to separation from cardiopulmonary bypass in neonates and children < 12kg;Secondary Objective: (a) To provide preliminary efficacy and safety data following human fibrinogen concentrate administration (b) To document ROTEM profiles intra- and post-operatively;Primary end point(s): Fibrinogen concentration and Fib-TEM MCF measured within 5 minutes of completion of IMP administration ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Within 5 minutes of completion of IMP administration | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): (ACTIVE and MONITORING arms) Efficacy •Mediastinal drain losses in first 24 hours after PICU admission • Requirement for delayed sternal closure due to clinical bleeding / tamponade •Requirement for ancillary blood transfusions in first 24 hours after PICU admission •Use of intra- and post-operative ancillary clotting products (as per transfusion algorithm) •Fibrinogen levels and ROTEM variables T4 – T6 Safety #Incidence of major thrombotic event / thromboembolic-associated complications •surgical shunt occlusion •imaging evidence of intracardiac/major vessel thrombosis up to discharge or day 30 post operative •Stroke from sinovenous thrombosis or arterial ischaemia of cardioembolic origin •Pulmonary embolism •Superior vena cava syndrome •Thrombotic vessel obstruction requiring active treatment with: thrombolysis/mechanical intervention (open thrombectomy, cardiac catheter) •Cardiopulmonary arrest associated with thrombosis #allergic / hypersensitivity reaction to study drug ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All safety analyses will be up to hospital discharge or day 30 post operative (whichever comes first). The remaining endpoints will be evaluated up to 24 hours after (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admission with Fibrinogen levels and ROTEM variables evaluated at timepoints T4 - T6. T4: at Paediatric intensive care Unit (PICU) admission T5: 4hrs after PICU admission T6: 24hrs after PICU admission | — |
