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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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
Participants for Whom All Conditions of Proper Use of PCC Have Been Respected
Time Frame: at Day 0

The count of participants for whom all conditions of use of PCC (Prothrombin Complex Concentrate) have been respected. Conditions of proper use of PCC included respect of indication, dose, administration, concomitant administration of other medications and monitoring. A detailed description of conditions can be seen from Section 10 of the SAP. Higher counts indicate better outcome.
at Day 0

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
Survival Probability
Time Frame: 30 Days

Survival probability at 30 days was estimated using a Kaplan Meier model. Higher numbers indicate better outcome.
30 Days
Participants With Bad Outcome
Time Frame: 30 Days

The count of participants with bad outcome was compared between Phase 1 and Phase 2. The outcome was evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). The five possible outcome categories of the GOS are (1) death, (2) persistent vegetative state, (3) severe disability, (4) moderate disability and (5) good recovery. GOS between 1 and 3 at Day 7 and no GOS higher than 3 at Day 30 or loss of vision at Day 7 not recovered at Day 30 or death of the participant were considered bad outcomes. Lower counts of participants indicate better outcome.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 13, 2017

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
December 20, 2020

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
