Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Recombinant Thrombin (rThrombin) in Pediatric Participants

January 25, 2012 updated by: ZymoGenetics

A Phase 4, Open-Label, Single-Group Safety and Immunogenicity Study of RECOTHROM® (rThrombin) in Pediatric Subjects Undergoing Synchronous Burn Wound Excision and Skin Grafting

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of recombinant thrombin (rThrombin) administered as an aid to hemostasis during burn wound excision and skin grafting in pediatric patients, newborn through 17 years of age.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of rThrombin have been evaluated in 5 Phase 2 studies, 1 pivotal Phase 3 study, and 1 Phase 3b study, in surgical indications such as: spinal surgery, major hepatic resection, peripheral arterial bypass surgery, arteriovenous graft formation for hemodialysis access, and burn wound excision. Limited data currently exist on the effects of rThrombin exposure in pediatric patients. This Phase 4 trial aims to provide additional information on the use of rThrombin in children by evaluating the drug's safety and immunogenicity when administered as an aid to hemostasis during burn wound excision and skin grafting in pediatric burn patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events, Treatment-related Adverse Events (AE), AEs Leading to Discontinuation, and AEs of Hypersensitivity
Time Frame: Days 1 through 29, continuously
An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=possibly, probably, or certainly related to and of unknown relationship to study treatment
Days 1 through 29, continuously
Number of Participants With AEs by Maximum Severity
Time Frame: Days 1 through 29, continuously
An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. Mild=asymptomatic or minor symptoms; intervention not indicated. Moderate=requiring only minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention. Severe=significant symptoms but not life-threatening; hospitalization or invasive intervention indicated. Life-threatening=indicating intensive care or urgent invasive intervention.

Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Findings of Grade O or Higher in Platelet, White Blood Cell (WBC), Lymphocyte, and Neutrophil Counts
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
Abnormal laboratory findings were recorded as AEs when considered clinically significant (unusual for the surgical population or individual participant) by the investigator, when associated with symptoms, when requiring specific treatment, or when requiring a change in participant management.LLN=lower level of normal. Platelets: Grade 0=normal. WBC: Grade 0=normal. Lymphocytes: Grade 0=normal; Grade 1=<LLN x 0.8-10^9/L. Neutrophils: Grade 0=normal; Grade 1=<LLN-1.5x10^9/L; Grade 2=<1.5-1.0x10^9/L

LLN=lower level of normal. Grade 1=100 g/L to <LLN; Grade 2=80 to <100 g/L; Grade 3=65 to <80 g/L; Grade 4=<65 g/L.
Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Findings of Grade 0 or Higher in Creatinine Levels
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
ULN=upper level of normal. Grade 0=normal; Grade 1=>ULN to 1.5 x ULN.
Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
Number of Participants With Elevations in the Coagulation Parameter of Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPPT)of Grade 0 or Higher
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
ULN=upper limit of normal. Grade 0=normal; Grade 1=ULN to 1.5 x ULN.
Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
Number of Participants With a High International Normalized Ratio (INR) of Prothrombin Time of Grade 0 or Higher
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline
Grade 0=normal.
Baseline and Day 29 from Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants WIth Positive Findings for Anti-rThrombin Product Antibody
Time Frame: At Day 29
Antibody-positive was defined as seroconversion or ≥1.0 unit (≥10-fold) increase in titer compared with antibody titer at baseline.
