Evaluation Of The Pharmacokinetics Of Antithrombin III In Neonates And Infants Undergoing CPB And ECMO Support
The potential role of ATIII in achieving and maintaining adequate anticoagulation in pediatric patients on the heart-lung machine has recently taken on increased importance as caregivers strive to mitigate the risk for clinically significant clotting problems. It is known that ATIII levels are decreased in normal neonates and infants less than 6 months of age relative to older children and adults and become even further decreased in critically ill neonates and infants, including those with congenital heart disease. The current utilization of ATIII in the context of support on a heart-lung machine is based on pharmacokinetic data derived from adult subjects with congenital ATIII deficiency. There is a gap in knowledge as to the appropriate frequency of ATIII repletion, best method of monitoring, and mode of administration in critically ill neonates and infants receiving support on a heart-lung machine.Our long-term goal is to determine if antithrombin (ATIII) can effectively change the coagulation system in patients undergoing heart-lung machine support. The objective of this proposal, which is our first step in pursuit of that goal, is to determine the pharmacokinetics of ATIII in neonates and infants. Our central hypothesis is that ATIII will have different pharmacokinetic properties in neonates and infants than adults and these properties will be affected by the use of heart-lung machine.
This research will result in critical data on the pharmacokinetics of ATIII in neonates and infants receiving heart-lung machine support. This contribution is significant because it is the first step in a continuum of research that is expected to lead to the development of a therapeutic strategy employing ATIII that will facilitate improved modulation of the coagulation cascade to prevent significant clotting and bleeding complications in pediatric patients requiring heart-lung machine support.

Detailed Description
This is a single-site, prospective, open-label, pharmacokinetic study of hpATIII in neonates and infants. Patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) will be enrolled. Participants will be enrolled into one of three cohorts depending on whether they are scheduled for ECMO, CPB, or neither, and based on age (neonate or infant).
Two doses of hpATIII will be used; one according to current labelling for hpATIII and one that accounts for the additional circuit volume from ECMO or CPB. Pharmacokinetic measurements will be obtained for all groups at baseline prior to administration of hpATIII and at multiple defined times up to 120 hrs following each administration of hpATIII.
Administration of hpATIII is standard of care at CCHMC for participants undergoing ECMO. The standard dose administered for clinical care is (120 - baseline AT activity level) x weight (kg) / 1.4. For participants not undergoing ECMO for clinical care, or for those undergoing ECMO but receiving an adjusted dose for additional circuit volume , the administration of hpATIII is considered research.
The duration of the study at CCHMC is expected to be 2.5 years. This includes 24 months for recruitment and data collection, and 6 months for data analysis and report writing.
Individual participants will be in the study for approximately 120 hours (5 days) following administration of hpATIII. If participants receive more than 1 dose, they will be in the study for approximately 120 hours following each dose of hpATIII received.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
NO_INTERVENTION: cohort 1
Cohort 1 (Aim 1) - 6 participants Cohort 1 will be comprised of 6 neonates (≤28 days of age) admitted to the CICU or NICU who are neither undergoing ECMO nor CPB.
Cohort 1 will receive a single dose of ATIII by short 15 minute infusion.

ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: cohort 2.1
• Cohort 2.1 - 6 neonates undergoing ECMO.
|
We are comparing neonates and infants on ECMP or CPB receiving ATIII, the dose of which is calculated to account for circuit volume, and compared with those not accounting for circuit volume
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: cohort 2.2
• Cohort 2.2 - 12 neonates who will undergo open-heart surgery with CPB
|
We are comparing neonates and infants on ECMP or CPB receiving ATIII, the dose of which is calculated to account for circuit volume, and compared with those not accounting for circuit volume
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: cohort 2.3
• Cohort 2.3 - 12 infants who will undergo open-heart surgery with CPB
|
We are comparing neonates and infants on ECMP or CPB receiving ATIII, the dose of which is calculated to account for circuit volume, and compared with those not accounting for circuit volume
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: cohort 3
Cohort 3 (Aim 3) - 6 participants Six participants (neonates or infants) who will undergo ECMO and receive ATIII as standard of care will be enrolled and have a baseline ATIII level measured within 6 hours of ATIII administration and repeated within 15 minutes of initiation of extracorporeal support.
If post-support level is < 80% normal activity then an ATIII level will be repeated and participants will be assigned to one of two hpATIII dosing regimens in which one formula accounts for additional circuit volume and one formula does not account for additional circuit volume, as described in section 7.4.
Upon completion and 120 hr follow up after the first dose, participants still having ATIII activity less than 80% will then receive a second dose
