Activated Recombinant Human Factor VII in Pelvic-acetabular Fracture Reconstruction

January 12, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Single-centre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Activated Recombinant Coagulation Factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven®) in Patients With Major Fractures of Pelvis or Pelvis and Acetabulum Undergoing Repair Surgery

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VIIgiven in conjunction with standard therapy in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery following traumatic pelvic or pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Injury due to a blunt or penetrating trauma causing pelvic or pelvic and acetabular fracture amenable to surgical reconstruction
  • Scheduled for a semi-elective reconstruction surgery for fracture(s) of pelvis or pelvis and acetabulum, which was expected to be a "large" complex procedure with the potential of blood loss more than 50% of circulating blood volume

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A history of thrombosis (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebral thrombosis)
  • Patients with severe head injuries or an abnormal computed tomography (CT) scan of the head due to head injuries
  • Body weight exceeding 135 kg
  • Cardiac arrest following trauma and prior to surgery
  • Known congenital bleeding disorders
  • Known pregnancy or positive pregnancy test at enrolment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: placebo
Administered intravenously as a slow, bolus injection after the patients had been anaesthetised and immediately before the first skin incision. A second dose was given if an intraoperative haemoglobin was less than 8.0 g/dl after salvaged red cells (RBC) had been re-transfused
Experimental: Activated recombinant human factor VII
Drug: activated recombinant human factor VII
90 mcg/kg body weight administered intravenously as a slow, bolus injection after the patients had been anaesthetised and immediately before the first skin incision. A second dose was given if an intraoperative haemoglobin was less than 8.0 g/dl after salvaged red cells (RBC) had been re-transfused

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Total volume of perioperative blood loss

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Adverse events
