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 purpose of this study is to assess the ability of Herombopag to elevate platelet counts thereby reducing the need for platelet transfusions in patients with thrombocytopenia before hepatectomy. The clinical benefit of Herombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who avoid platelet transfusions, before, during and up to 7 days after undergoing an hepatectomy. In addition, bleeding events will be monitored during this time. The number of transfusions, safety events will be monitored during this time and for up to 3 months after undergoing a hepatectomy to help further evaluate clinical benefit.

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.

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
The proportion of patients who require blood product infusion or intervention with platelet raising drugs due to bleeding during the perioperative period
Time Frame: From the start of using the investigational drug to 7 days after surgery completion
Platelet transfusions were administered at the discretion of the investigator and the physician performing the hepatectomy.
From the start of using the investigational drug to 7 days after surgery completion

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
Proportion of patients with bleeding after surgery need intervention.
Time Frame: up to 7 days following surgery。
The World Health Organization Bleeding Scale was used to assess bleeding following surgery.. The range of possible scores is 0 to 4. Grade 0 is no bleeding; Grade 1 is petechiae (small [1-2 millimeter] red or purple spot on the body, caused by a minor hemorrhage); Grade 2 is mild blood loss; Grade 3 is gross blood loss (requiring a transfusion; and Grade 4 is debilitating blood loss (retinal or cerebral associated with fatality).
up to 7 days following surgery。
Incidence of deep venous thrombosis
Time Frame: up to 3 months following surgery.
Imaging examination will be conducted at d1、d3、d5、d7、d14、end of one month、 end of three month after surgery, to evaluate deep venous thrombosis if necessary.
up to 3 months following surgery.
Incidence of liver failure
Time Frame: up to 3 months following surgery.
Posthepatectomy liver failure is defined as: A postoperatively acquired deterioration in the ability of the liver to maintain its synthetic, excretory, and detoxifying functions, characterized by an increased international normalized ratio A postoperatively acquired deterioration in the ability of the liver to maintain its synthetic, excretory, and detoxifying functions, characterized by an increased international normalized ratio and hyperbilirubinemia on or after postoperative day 5. If international normalized ratio or serum bilirubin concentration is increased preoperatively, Post hepatectomy liver failure is defined by an increasing international normalized ratio and increasing serum bilirubin concentration on or after postoperative day 5 Other obvious causes for the observed biochemical and clinical alterations such as biliary obstruction should be ruled out. The evaluate of liver failure was conducted at d1、d3、d5、d7、d14、end of one month、 end of three month after surgery.
up to 3 months following surgery.
Changes in preoperative Platelet count compared to baseline
Time Frame: baseline and up to 1 days prior to surgery
Platelet count were determined from blood draws. platelet count collect on baseline and prior to 1 days of surgery. Missing platelet count assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated
baseline and up to 1 days prior to surgery
Proportion of patients whose Platelet count returned to ≥80×10^9/L
Time Frame: baseline and up to 1 days prior to surgery
Platelet count were determined from blood draws. platelet count collect on baseline and prior to 1 days of surgery. Missing platelet count assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated.
baseline and up to 1 days prior to surgery
