Congenital Bleeding DisorderHaemophilia A

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy, including pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) of NNC 0129-0000-1003 (N8-GP) in subjects with Haemophilia A.

Fibrinogen for Treatment of Pediatric Dilutional Coagulopathy. FibPaed Study.

Blood Coagulation DisordersHemorrhage

The purpose of this study is to compare two different thromboelastometry (ROTEM) trigger levels for administration of human fibrinogen concentrate (Haemocomplettan P) in the treatment of perioperative dilutional coagulopathy during major pediatric surgery. The study hypothesis is that administration of fibrinogen concentrate triggered by a ROTEM FibTEM MCF < 13 mm might reduce the total amount of transfused red cell concentrate during 24 hours after start of surgery as compared to a trigger level of ROTEM FibTEM MCF < 8 mm.

Oral Vitamin K for Warfarin Associated Coagulopathy

CoagulationBleeding1 more

Excessive prolongation of the international normalized ratio (INR) occurs frequently in patients taking warfarin; in fact, about one in six INR values is above the desired range. Excessive prolongation of the INR is clinically important because the risk of bleeding approximately doubles for each one point increase in the INR beyond the usual therapeutic range. Thus, treatment strategies which rapidly and reliably lower an excessively prolonged INR into the desired range have the potential to reduce bleeding. When taken by patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10, a small dose of oral vitamin K (1 mg to 2.5mg) reduces the INR into the desired INR range in about 75% of cases within 24 hours of its administration. If warfarin is simply withheld, and no vitamin K is given, about 25% of patients will have an INR in the desired range at 24 hours. However, vitamin K is rarely given to such patients. In a recent survey carried out by our group, less than 20% of such patients would have been given low dose oral vitamin K by a group of physicians who regularly supervise warfarin therapy. The most common treatment for excessive prolongation of the INR is to simply withhold warfarin and allow the INR to fall into the therapeutic range. Although this strategy is effective its safety has never been adequately examined. In fact, recent evidence suggests that patients with INR values of more than 6.0 who are treated with simple warfarin withdrawal have a risk of major bleeding of 4% in the two weeks after they develop their prolonged INR. When asked why they did not give oral vitamin K to a non-bleeding patient who has an excessively prolonged INR, physicians generally give one of three reasons: (1)They are not convinced that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding. (2) They are concerned that oral vitamin K may cause thrombosis. (3) In contrast with simply withholding warfarin, giving oral vitamin K requires a patient to visit the physician, and the physician must have a supply of vitamin K. The investigators hypothesize that the routine practice of not administering oral vitamin K to patients with excessively prolonged INR values is causing patients to have major, life-threatening and fatal bleeds. To convince physicians that oral vitamin K should be administered to all non-bleeding patients with INR values of more than 4.5, the investigators propose a study which the investigators anticipate will demonstrate that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding, does not cause thrombosis, and can be administered at home without direct physician supervision. To accomplish these goals, the investigators propose a multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The investigators will randomize patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10.0 to receive 1.25 mg of oral vitamin K or placebo and follow them for bleeding and thrombosis. Patients with INR values of more than 10.0 will receive a single 1.25 mg dose of oral vitamin K. Successful completion of this study will establish a treatment standard supported by clinical data which will, in turn, change the way that patients taking warfarin who present with an excessively prolonged INR are treated.

A Research Study Looking at How a Factor VIII Medicine Called Turoctocog Alfa Pegol (N8-GP) Works...

Congenital Bleeding DisorderHaemophilia A

This study will look at how a known study medicine N8-GP works in previously N8-GP treated people with haemophilia A. The aim is to look at how N8-GP works during regular use. Participants will get N8-GP. N8-GP has been tested in more than 200 people with haemophilia A for several years. Participants will get an injection of N8-GP into a blood vessel, one, two or three times weekly. Participants will get more doses if they bleed or if they will need a surgery. The study will last for about 2 years. Participants will have at least 9 visits with the study doctor. If participants agree to be in this study, they will get their first injection (in this study) at the first visit. Participants will also get an injection at visit 3, 5 and 7. Participants will be trained to give all other injections themselves. Participants must not use any clotting factors other than N8-GP or any anticoagulants (blood thinners) during the study.

The Utility of Thromboelastography in Cirrhotic Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Procedures

CirrhosisCoagulopathy

Cirrhosis results in decreased synthesis of both procoagulants and anticoagulants resulting in "rebalanced homeostasis". However, conventional blood tests (platelets/ INR levels) that are performed prior to invasive procedures do not accurately reflect the coagulation changes that occur in cirrhotics, resulting in unnecessary transfusion of blood products. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a global hemostasis assessment tool that is being used in surgery (including liver transplant) to help guide blood product transfusion in the operating room. The investigators would like to compare the use of TEG vs. INR/platelets to help guide blood product transfusion in cirrhotic patients undergoing inpatient endoscopy. The investigators will evaluate to see if there is a decrease in prophylactic blood transfusions prior to endoscopy when using TEG.

Thromboelastometry-identified Haemostatic Changes in Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury

Coagulation DisorderBrain Injuries2 more

A prospective open-label case-control study will be performed aiming to assess the utility of thromboelastometry (ROTEM) for identification of hemostatic changes, goal-directed coagulation management, and prognosis of intracranial hemorrhagic injury progression as well as clinical outcome in patients with isolated traumatic brain injury. Patients undergoing craniotomy to treat traumatic brain injury will be enrolled. All patients will undergo standard perioperative coagulation analysis (APTT, PT, INR, fibrinogen levels, platelet count), whereas ROTEM-guided group will additionally be tested with ROTEM. "Cases" will be managed according to a ROTEM-based algorithm, and "Controls" will be treated as usual (based on clinical judging). Comparative analysis of acquired demographic, clinical and laboratory data will be performed. The investigators believe that ROTEM results could provide better insight into perioperative coagulation changes, be beneficial to patient blood management, and result in better outcome.
