New blood clotting drug could cut transfusions in heart surgery

NCT ID NCT07094087

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests a concentrated clotting factor (4F-PCC) against standard fresh frozen plasma to stop bleeding in 200 adults undergoing complex heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if the new treatment corrects clotting problems faster and more effectively. If it works, it could mean fewer transfusions and better outcomes for patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (BE1116)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more effective and faster way to control bleeding during complex heart surgeries, reducing the need for transfusions.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is also a risk of blood clots or other side effects with the new treatment.
