Learn More About PowerTelavancin for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Lexington, Kentucky
The proposed study aims to evaluate the CNS penetration of telavancin in a critically ill population using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drawn from external ventricular drains (EVDs) in patients who have had spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients with SAH were chosen as the target population because they frequently require prolonged admission to the intensive care unit and drainage of CSF in order to prevent hydrocephalus. The estimated sample size is 20 subjects. This is a prospective cohort of patients with SAH. Patients will be included if they have a spontaneous SAH, aged 18-65 years old, Hunt-Hess score of 1-4 \& has an actively draining ventriculostomy.
Subjects will receive telavancin 10mg/kg (maximum 1000mg) every 24 hours for 3 consecutive doses. Serial serum and CSF samples will be obtained. An 8-hour urine collection will be completed on study day 2 in order to define the patient's measured creatinine clearance.

Indomethacin for Premature Birth
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
In Canada, about 900 babies each year are born very early (\<26 weeks of gestation) and have a high chance of dying or having a serious bleed in the brain. Families of these extremely preterm babies consider preventing severe brain bleeding as critical to their child's health and well-being. A medicine called indomethacin, when given intravenously in 3-doses, is known to reduce severe brain bleeding. But use of this drug is variable among clinicians working in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to (a) its side effects on the gut; (b) possible harm when used with other medications; (c) a notion that despite reducing brain bleeds, the child's long-term brain development is not improved. Emerging evidence suggests that a single low-dose indomethacin regimen may be equally effective in reducing severe brain bleeding as compared to a traditional 3-dose regimen.
The investigators propose a blinded randomized controlled trial, a study design where babies born \<26 weeks will be randomly assigned within 12 hours of birth to either a single dose of intravenous indomethacin or similar looking placebo in the form a saline solution. The study will test if a single dose indomethacin regimen is effective in improving survival of these babies without the devastating complication of severe brain bleeding. In this study the care providers and researchers will be unaware as to which baby receives indomethacin and which baby receives placebo to ensure no one's expectations or biases can influence the results.
The investigators will conduct the study in multiple NICUs across Canada, the United States and Australia and will enroll 500 babies born \<26 weeks or \<750 g birth weight over a period of 3 years. This study will help the investigators determine in the most unbiased way whether a single dose of indomethacin given immediately after birth in the smallest babies born \<26 weeks of gestation can safely and effectively reduce severe brain bleeding.

Deferoxamine for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has a high incidence of mortality and significant morbidity, with mortality exceeding 30% in the first two days.The initial injury is related to increasing intracranial pressure, cerebral edema, and neuronal injuries associated with the release of iron. Iron has been shown to increase the incidence of cerebral edema, ischemia, and formation of hydrocephalus. Deferoxamine mesylate (DFO), a hydrophilic chelator, creates a stable complex with free iron thus preventing the formation of iron related free radicals.
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of clinical deferoxamine for the treatment of aSAH for patients that are admitted to the hospital at the University of Michigan or Peking University Health Science Center. Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to 1 of 2 doses of Deferoxamine or placebo (saline). Information regarding the patients will be collected and followed for up to 6 months post discharge.

Platelet Transfusion for Bleeding in Children on ECMO
Louisville, Kentucky
Critically ill children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) receive large volumes of prophylactic platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding. However, mounting evidence has demonstrated significant morbidity and mortality associated with these transfusions. The ECmo hemoSTAtic Transfusions In Children (ECSTATIC) pilot trial will test two different platelet transfusion strategies, based on two different platelet counts thresholds, one high (higher platelet transfusion strategy) and one low (lower platelet transfusion strategy). The pilot will gather the necessary information to perform a full trial which will provide a better understanding of how to transfuse platelets to children supported by ECMO and reduce the associated morbidity.

Mezagitamab for Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Louisville, Kentucky
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, which are cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low number of platelets, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The main aim of this study is to learn whether mezagitamab, when given just under the skin (subcutaneously \[SC\]), is effective in keeping the platelet count of adults with ITP stable when compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients in it.
The participants will be treated with mezagitamab for up to 6 months.
During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
Participants who complete the TAK-079-3002 study or do not have any response to study treatment by week 16 (according to study criteria) will be given the opportunity to participate in a continuation study to receive open label mezagitamab (if they are eligible and the site is able to open the continuation study).

TXA for Bleeding in Liver Surgery
London, Ontario
This is a Phase III multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of tranexamic acid (TXA) on perioperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection. The rationale for this study includes: (1) experimental evidence supporting the use of TXA in other surgical populations; (2) lack of evidence in patients undergoing liver resection; (3) clinical uncertainty and extensive support amongst hepatobiliary surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and hematologists for this proposed trial; (4) a feasible and efficient study design; and (5) the importance of the question: incidence of blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection is high, and the consequences serious. The sample size for this study is 1230 participants.Participants enrolled in the prior Vanguard study will proceed directly into the RCT.

Deuterated Oxytocin for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Chicago, Illinois
Oxytocin is the first-line drug to promote contraction of the uterus and prevent atony immediately after delivery. Nonetheless, unpredictable uterine atony refractory to oxytocin affects roughly 250,000 parturients annually in the U.S. and rates are increasing. This two-part study will measure the action of oxytocin at cesarean delivery. The first part will measure the pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous (IV) dose of deuterium-labeled oxytocin. The second part will measure the pharmacodynamics of all plasma oxytocin to see how concentrations correspond to the contractile effect on the uterus.
After delivery of the fetus, study subjects will receive a bolus of IV deuterated oxytocin followed by an unlabeled oxytocin infusion. Venous blood samples drawn at multiple time points (within 1 hour after delivery) will be analyzed for plasma concentrations of labeled and unlabeled (endogenous + exogenous infused) oxytocin over time. Plasma concentrations will be compared with 0-10 uterine tone scores measuring uterine contraction strength, to describe the concentration-effect relationship.
The goal of this study is to define both the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxytocin in parturients to help identify the cause(s) of failed first-line oxytocin therapy.

Physical Therapy for Infant Motor Delay
Chicago, Illinois
Study Aims
Pilot study: Due to the large recruitment goal and length of the project, the study team/PIs will evaluate the first cohort of 6-10 participants to refine study procedures and study-related materials. If no major modifications are made to the protocol as a result of this evaluation, data from these participants will be included for analysis.
Aim 1: Evaluate the efficacy of an early, evidence-based, clinical experience-based therapeutic intervention (from the NICU to 12-months corrected age) on improving motor function and reducing severity of motor delays in infants at 12-months corrected age.
The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will demonstrate an average 8-point difference (0.5 standard deviation) compared to the standard of care group. \[an 8-point difference is considered a clinically meaningful difference\]
Aim 2: Evaluate the early effects (i.e., before 12 months) of a therapeutic intervention, provided from NICU to 12-months corrected age, on motor function and severity of motor delay.
The Investigators hypothesize that a statistically significant higher percentage of infants in the intervention group will demonstrate improved motor function and reduced severity of motor delays, compared to the standard of care group-assessed using sensors, the NSMDA and TIMP-as early as 3-months corrected age.
Aim 3: Evaluate whether an early intervention that focuses on caregiver engagement improves caregiver well-being.
The invetigators hypothesize that an intervention that focuses on supporting and addressing the individual needs of the caregiver will improve caregiver well-being. The investigators will evaluate these effects using the PedsQL (Family Impact Module).

Recombinant vWF Concentrate for Bleeding
Charlottesville, Virginia
Adult patients on extracoporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) frequently experience bleeding, which is in part caused by acquired von Willebrand syndrome (vWS). Prior in vitro studies have shown that the addition of recombinant von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to ECMO patient blood samples, normalizes platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. This study is a phase I study, where adult ECMO patients with refractory bleeding will be treated with recombinant vWF a single time. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of recombinant vWF in adult ECMO patients.

Imaging Techniques for Intracranial Hemorrhage
Charlottesville, Virginia
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Optimization of intra-hospital pathways is as of today one of the most promising research topics in stroke treatment. A potential solution to shorten the time needed for current workflows, and therefore reperfusion, is to do both imaging and subsequent endovascular therapy (EVT) in the angiography suite using non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin (FDCT) for the exclusion of intracranial hemorrhage and flat detector CT angiography (FDCTA) or digital subtraction angiography for diagnosis of LVO. It is still a matter of debate if FDCT can reliably differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
This study aims to investigate if non-contrast syngo DynaCT Sine Spin imaging is non-inferior to non-contrast MDCT imaging regarding its sensitivity and specificity for the detection of intracranial hemorrhages.

Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution for Cardiac Surgery
Charlottesville, Virginia
Transfusions are one of the most overused treatments in modern medicine, and saving blood is one important issue all around the world. Cardiac surgery makes up a large percentage of the overall blood components consumption in surgery.
Acute normovolemic hemo-dilution (ANH) is a well-known strategy which has been used for years without the support of high quality evidence based medicine to improve post-cardiopulmonary bypass coagulation and reduce red blood cells (RBC) transfusion. We designed a multicenter randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of ANH in reducing the number of cardiac surgery patients receiving RBC transfusions during hospital stay. We will randomize 2000 patients to have sufficient power to demonstrate a 20% relative and 7% absolute risk reduction in the number of patients' RBC transfusion. If the results of the study will confirm our hypothesis, this will have a great impact on blood management in cardiac operating room.

Tranexamic Acid Timing for Postoperative Bleeding
Hamilton, Ontario
The goal of this clinical trial is to establish the feasibility of conducting a large trial to determine the optimal timing of intravenous tranexamic acid administration in cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is it feasible to conduct a larger definitive trial?
* Can we measure the systemic tranexamic acid concentration and fibrinolytic potential in the blood samples?
Researchers will compare intravenous tranexamic acid administered before cardiopulmonary bypass versus after cardiopulmonary bypass to see if the systemic tranexamic acid concentration and fibrinolytic potential are similar or better.
Participants will:
* Provide written informed consent
* Receive tranexamic acid during surgery
* Provide blood samples at 5 time points: before surgery, on arrival in intensive care unit, 3 hours after arrival, 6 hours after arrival, and on the next morning.

Tranexamic Acid for Breast Reconstruction
Charlottesville, Virginia
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic, competitive lysine receptor inhibitor on plasminogen. It ultimately stabilizes the fibrin matrix, therefore used as a hemostatic agent for various indications. While there has been indications for orthopedic and trauma surgery, there is no clear data for its role in patients who are undergoing free tissue transfer. Studies have shown that patients undergoing free tissue transfer can have transfusion rates ranging from 7.2% to 34.9%, which data also showing association between transfusion requirement and higher free flap failure rate. There has been a few retrospective studies that evaluated the effect of TXA in free tissue transfer and the results showed no increased risk of microanastomosis failure but some showing decreased blood loss. This study aims to further analyze the role of TXA in patients undergoing breast free flap reconstruction with randomized, prospective trial. Control group will not receive TXA while experimental group will receive TXA. Both groups will receive standard of care breast free flap surgery as well as post-op care, which is streamlined with Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Their pre and post-op hemoglobin will be compared, as well as rates of transfusion, surgical outcome and surgical complications including hematoma, flap failure, and any other medical complications such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)/ Pulmonary Embolism (PE).

RBC Transfusion Strategy for Leukemia
Hamilton, Ontario
This pilot study aims to gather preliminary evidence on how different hemoglobin levels impact blood biomarkers related to bleeding. The feasibility of conducting a future larger clinical trial will also be assessed. Red blood cell transfusions are part of the standard of care for patients with leukemia. This study evaluates two transfusion strategies: one that maintains hemoglobin levels above the standard-of-care threshold, reflecting current routine practice; and another that maintains hemoglobin levels above 110 g/L, which is closer to the normal hemoglobin range. The normal hemoglobin range is 120-160 g/L for females and 140-180 g/L for males. Raising hemoglobin levels closer to normal values may reduce bleeding risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Hemorrhage clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Hemorrhage clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Hemorrhage trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Hemorrhage is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Hemorrhage medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Hemorrhage clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Tranexamic Acid + Desmopressin for Reducing Surgical Bleeding, Indomethacin for Premature Birth and Onyx™ Liquid Embolic System for Peripheral Arterial Bleeding to the Power online platform.
