Role of Viscoelastometric Testing in the Development and Validation of a Clinical-biological Score for Predicting Bleeding in Patients With Malignant Haematological Disorders and Severe Thrombocytopenia

The goal of this single-center, non-controlled, non-randomized exploratory clinical trial is To develop and validate a clinical-biological score (VISCOTHEM score) incorporating viscoelastometric tests parameters; based on an association study, and to establish a threshold that enables the prediction of the immediate risk of bleeding in haematology patients with severe thrombocytopenia (<20 G/L); with a view to selecting a population with a residual risk of bleeding of zero (NPV ≥ 95%, to achieve a residual probability of bleeding < 5%).

The score may incorporate variables identified in the literature as having a plausible causal relationship with the occurrence of bleeding (14,15), as well as viscoelastometric tests parameters, conventional haemostasis parameters and relevant clinical parameters. .

Participants will undergo an additional blood sample to standard care. The total volume of blood drawn will be 21.1 mL. The following analyses will be performed: Quantra®, Rotem®, blood count, platelets, immature platelet count, plasma prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, International Normalized Ratio, fibrinogen, urea, creatinin, albumin.

Treatment and study plan

Additional blood sample

Biological

A blood sample will be taken from all patients included in the study. This blood sampling is an added act of the study. It will be performed as soon as possible after inclusion in the study. The total volume of blood drawn will be 21.1 mL. The following analyses will be performed: Quantra®, Rotem®, blood count, platelets, immature platelet count, plasma prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, International Normalized Ratio, fibrinogen, Urea, Creatinine, Albumin.

Primary outcomes

  1. Identification of factors associated with bleeding among clinical and laboratory parameters

    Time frame: At baseline, before platelet transfusion

    Clinical parameters : Age, Sex, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, presence of mucositis, presence of a lesion with haemorrhagic potential, bleeding within the previous 5 days, fever associated with an infection or an episode of febrile neutropenia, transplant within the previous 100 days Laboratory parameters : viscoelastic test parameters, white blood cell count, Haemoglobin, Platelet and immature platelet counts, Urea, Creatinine, Albumin, Standard haemostasis (APTT, INR, Fibrinogen)

  2. Apply a multivariate regression model to develop the VISCOTHEM score for predicting immediate bleeding (WHO score ≥ 1), based on the coefficients of the factors associated with bleeding

    Time frame: At baseline, before platelet transfusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Stratification and comparison of performance and score calibration depending on whether the viscoelastic test result is obtained using ROTEM® or Quantra®.

    Time frame: At baseline, before platelet transfusion

    To propose a score capable of processing a viscoelastic test result from either ROTEM® or Quantra®,

  2. Describe the presence of bleeding according to the WHO classification (WHO score ≥1) and WHO bleeding grade, where applicable

    Time frame: 72 hours after blood sample

  3. Describe the presence of platelet transfusion

    Time frame: 72 hours after blood sample

  4. Describe the Vital status or loss of follow-up, where applicable

    Time frame: 72 hours after blood sample
