Conditions

Acquired Bleeding Disorder, Cardiac Surgery Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Oceania. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII and standard treatment compared with standard haemostatic replacement therapy in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery for paediatric congenital heart disease.

Interventions

DRUGactivated recombinant human factor VII

Up to three doses administered after surgery. If bleeding persisted after the third dose of trial product, conventional transfusion would be administered

DRUGplacebo

Up to three doses administered after surgery. If bleeding persisted after the third dose of trial product, conventional transfusion would be administered
