Efficacy & Safety of Factor VIIa on Rebleeding After Surgery for

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Although the role of surgical treatment is still controversial, surgical evacuation of intracerebral hematoma is a frequent practice. Rebleeding is a frequent complication in patients submitted to hematoma evacuation. It has been reported that smaller postoperative volume of hematoma is associated with a better outcome. The investigators hypothesize that the administration of Factor VIIa (Eptacog alfa) immediately after surgical evacuation of the hematoma can reduce postoperative rebleeding.

Aims of the Study:

This study will investigate:

1. The efficacy of Eptacog alfa in preventing or reducing rebleeding after surgery for spontaneous supratentorial ICH; and

2. The safety of product administration

Clinical Trial Description

The primary endpoint is the evaluation of efficacy of Factor VIIa (Eptacog alfa, NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk) on rebleeding after surgery for primary supratentorial ICH. All patients included in the study will perform a CT scan within 3 hours before surgery, then immediately after surgery, and 18-30 hours after surgery. The hematoma volume will be evaluated by a multi-slice CT scan. All CT scan images will be sent to the Coordinating Center where the hematoma volume will be evaluated by a dedicated software by the same investigator who will be unaware of the treatment (investigator- blinded study).

SAFETY EVALUATION:

Seventeen episodes of thrombotic spontaneous adverse events have been reported after administration of 480,000 standard doses of Eptacog alfa in hemophilic patients. These episodes include myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.

Before and after hematoma removal will be evaluated ECG, myocardiac enzymes, coagulation profile, CT scan (looking for ischemic events) and venous echodoppler ultrasound of lower extremities. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
