Filter by:This survey is conducted in South America. The purpose is to identify the key psychosocial issues affecting patients with haemophilia.
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety of escalating single doses of rFXIII (recombinant factor XIII, catridecacog) administered following first time myocardial revascularization requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NovoEight® (recombinant factor VIII) in patients with haemophilia A in Japan in the setting of routine clinical practice.
Trauma is the leading cause of death in people 44 years of age or younger. After major trauma, such as following high-speed motor vehicle collision, bleeding coupled with clotting defects is responsible for most of deaths in the first hours of hospital admission. Of note, these bleeding-related deaths are potentially preventable. Accordingly, the initial in-hospital management of severely injured patients focuses on stopping bleeding, replacing blood loss and correcting clotting defects. Recently, animal and human research demonstrated that one of the major clotting defects following injury and bleeding is the drop in blood levels of fibrinogen (a clotting factor), which is detected on hospital admission in severely injured patients. These low fibrinogen levels are associated with increased blood transfusion and death. However, in North America, the standard of care for replacing low fibrinogen requires the use of cryoprecipitate, which is a frozen blood product with long preparation time, and similarly to other blood products, carries the risk of viral transmission and transfusion complications. Alternately, many Europeans countries where cryoprecipitate has been withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns, use fibrinogen concentrate. Fibrinogen concentrate undergoes pathogen inactivation, which is a process to eliminate the risk of transmitting viruses, bacteria and parasites, is likely a safer and faster alternative to cryoprecipitate. In Canada, fibrinogen concentrate is licensed for congenital low fibrinogen only. Although preliminary data suggest that fibrinogen supplementation in trauma is associated with reduced bleeding, blood transfusion, and death, the feasibility, safety and efficacy of early fibrinogen replacement remains unknown. We proposed to conduct a feasibility randomized trial to evaluate the use of early fibrinogen concentrate against placebo in injured patients at our trauma centre. A pilot trial is necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of rapidly preparing, delivering, and infusing fibrinogen concentrate as an early therapy to prevent excessive bleeding in trauma. This feasibility trial will provide preliminary safety and clinical outcome data to inform the design of larger trials; which ultimately aims to prevent bleeding-related deaths in the trauma population.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether giving severely injured adults a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) as soon as possible after injury will improve their chances of survival and their level of recovery at six months. After severe injury, a person may have uncontrolled bleeding that places them at high risk of bleeding to death. Coagulation (the formation of blood clots) is an important process in the body that helps to control blood loss. Up to a quarter of people that are severely injured have a condition called acute traumatic coagulopathy. This condition affects coagulation and results in the break down of blood clots (fibrinolysis) that can lead to increased blood loss and an increased risk of dying. TXA is an anti-fibrinolytic drug that might help to reduce the effects of acute traumatic coagulopathy by preventing blood clots from breaking down and helping to control bleeding. In Australia, TXA is approved for use by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to reduce blood loss or the need for blood transfusion in patients undergoing surgery (i.e. cardiac surgery, knee or hip arthroplasty). Recent evidence from a large clinical trial (CRASH-2) showed early treatment with TXA reduced the risk of death in severely injured patients, however the majority of patients involved in the study were injured in countries where prehospital care is limited and rapid access to lifesaving treatments is limited compared to that available in countries like Australia and New Zealand. It is unclear whether TXA will reduce the risk of death to the same degree when it is given alongside other lifesaving treatments that are available to patients soon after injury in these countries. The hypothesis is that TXA given early to injured patients who are at risk of acute traumatic coagulopathy and who are treated in countries with systems providing advanced trauma care reduces mortality and improves recovery at 6-months after injury.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP) in previously untreated patients with Haemophilia B.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with haemophilia A.
A prospective single-centre non-comparative non-interventional open study has been designed to validate, in a target number of 100 trauma patients, the correlation between TICCS evaluated on the site of injury and thromboelastography made on a whole blood sample taken at the latest 30 min after patient's arrival in the resuscitation room. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity to discriminate trauma patients suffering from active bleeding and arly acute coagulopathy of trauma and needing Damage control resuscitation from those without this aggravating combination with a new purely clinical easy-to-measure pre-hospital score: the Trauma Induced Coagulopathy Clinical Score (TICCS).
This study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for participants with genotypes 1 and 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) for participants with genotypes 2 and 3 HCV infection. Participants with an inherited bleeding disorder and chronic HCV infection (either monoinfected or HIV-1/HCV coinfected) will be enrolled.
The goal of this study is to identify the platelet defect responsible for the bleeding in families from our inherited platelet disorders Israeli-Palestinian registry. The investigators plan to characterize platelet proteome expression after removing high abundance proteins. The investigators will compare the proteome of sick and healthy members of families with inherited platelet disorders, and identify and validate structural proteins, signaling cascades and biomarkers for detection and diagnosis of unknown platelet disorders. The investigators expect to discover new key findings that allow better understanding of human platelet function and allow better diagnosis and treatment of patients with inherited platelet function disorders.
