Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Subjects Avoiding Any Allogeneic Transfusions for Seven Days Post-operative or Until Discharge, Whichever Came First
Time Frame: measured ongoing from dosing until day 7 or discharge, whichever came first
Proportion of patients avoiding blood products given via allogeneic transfusion. Blood products were defined as any of the following: RBC, platelets, FFP, fibrinogen concentrate and clotting factor(s) concentrate, including cryoprecipitate.
measured ongoing from dosing until day 7 or discharge, whichever came first

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Subjects With Thromboembolic Events
Time Frame: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Percentage of subjects with thromboembolic events (AMI, cerebrovascular thromboembolic event, peripheral artery occlusion, DVT, pulmonary embolism) until end of trial
measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Percentage of Subjects With rFXIII Antibody Reaction
Time Frame: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Immunogenicity as number of subjects who manifested FXIII antibody reaction until end of trial. The percentage may be derived from the number of subjects treated with rFXIII with available antibody measurement at visit 8.
measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Percentage of Subjects With Critical Adverse Events
Time Frame: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Percentage of subjects with critical adverse events (thromboembolic events (AMI, cerebrovascular thromboembolic event, peripheral artery occlusion, DVT, pulmonary embolism), renal dysfunction, re-operation and death) until end of trial
measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
Percentage of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events
Time Frame: measured from screening until 5-7 weeks post Trial Drug Administration
