Phase 3 Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Human Plasma Derived Antithrombin (Atenativ) in Heparin-resistant Patients Scheduled to Undergo Cardiac Surgery Necessitating Cardiopulmonary Bypass
EU CTIS ID: 2023-507560-39-00
What this study is testing
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different doses of Atenativ, versus placebo, in restoring and maintaining heparin responsiveness in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Planned cardiac surgery with CPB
- Heparin-resistant patients: pre-CPB Hemochron ACT less than 480 seconds in the measurement performed between 2 and 5 minutes following intravenous administration of 500 U/kg BW UFH
- Patients ≥18 and ≤85 years of age
- Freely given written or electronic informed consent
- In female patients of childbearing potential (i.e., fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile), a pre-existing negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to surgery
You likely can't join if
- Receiving or have received one or more of the following medications within the specified time frames prior to the start of the surgery: a) vitamin K antagonists (within 3 days) b) direct oral anticoagulants (within 2 days) c) thienopyridines (ticlopidine within 14 days, prasugrel within 7 days, or clopidogrel within 5 days), unless platelet function is satisfactory d) ticagrelor (within 5 days), unless platelet function is satisfactory e) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist (within 24 hours)
- Pre-existing coagulopathy, a history of bleeding problems or a laboratory-diagnosed bleeding disorder (e.g., von Willebrand disease, platelet disorder)
- Renal insufficiency, defined as serum creatinine level >2.0 mg/dL
- Thrombocytosis, defined as platelet count >400,000 per µL
- Known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to antithrombin or any of the excipients in Atenativ, i.e., human albumin, sodium chloride, acetyl tryptophan and caprylic acid
- History of anaphylactic reaction(s) to blood or blood components
