Observational Study of Prophylaxis and Treatment of Acute Perioperative Bleeding With Beriplex® P/N (Probe Study)

Beriplex® P/N is made from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood) and contains the coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X which are important for blood clotting (coagulation). Lack of any of these factors means that blood does not clot as quickly as it should and so there is an increased tendency to bleed. This observational study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Beriplex® P/N in the prevention (prophylaxis) and treatment of bleeding during surgery (perioperative bleeding) in a routine clinical setting.

Inclusion criteria

(All):

For all cohorts:

•≥ 16 years of age

  • Received treatment with:
  • Beriplex® P/N
  • or FFP and Beriplex® P/N (in subsequent order)
  • or FFP only
  • INR and/or PT results available in connection with administration of Beriplex® P/N or FFP:
  • within 3 hours directly before and after administration of Beriplex® P/N or FFP

In case of Beriplex® P/N use subsequent to FFP, additional results of INR and PT between the administration of the two products

Cohort P (Prophylaxis Group):

  • Chronic liver disease, acute liver failure, or other conditions requiring correction of coagulopathy
  • Coagulopathy (INR > 1.4 and/or PT ≥ 3 sec of upper limit of normal [ULN])
  • Any planned major or minimally invasive procedure, except liver transplantation

Cohort T (Treatment Group):

  • Acute perioperative bleeding (as assessed by the investigator)

Exclusion criteria

  • Treatment with prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) other than Beriplex® P/N
  • Acquired deficiency of the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (e.g., as induced by treatment with oral vitamin K antagonists)

Treatment and study plan

Beriplex® P/N

Biological

Intravenous infusion, the dosage and the frequency of administration is calculated on an individual patient basis.

Other names: Prothrombin complex concentrate

Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and Beriplex® P/N

Biological

FFP is administered before Beriplex® P/N. Each treatment is given as an intravenous infusion, with the dosage of each calculated on an individual patient basis.

Other names: Prothrombin Complex Concentrate

Fresh Frozen Plasma

Other

Intravenous infusion, the dosage and the frequency of administration is calculated on an individual patient basis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Adequacy of stopping or preventing bleeding

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours after treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Transfusions required

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours after treatment

  2. Clinical trigger for administration of the intervention

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours after treatment

  3. Mortality

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours after treatment

  4. International normalized ratio (INR)

    Time frame: From 3 hours before and up to 24 hours after treatment

  5. Prothrombin time (PT)

    Time frame: From 3 hours before and up to 24 hours after treatment

  6. Receipt of other blood products and /or hemostatic agents

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours after treatment

  7. Vital signs

    Time frame: From 3 hours before and up to 24 hours after treatment
