Tailored clotting treatment may cut bleeding after heart surgery

NCT ID NCT07425600

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to find the best dose of a clotting drug (fibrinogen) for patients after heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. Bleeding is a common complication, and current dosing is not personalized. Researchers will take blood samples from 150 adults to understand how fibrinogen levels change and how to give the minimum effective dose, potentially reducing bleeding and costs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
fibrinogen concentrate
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a personalized dosing strategy for fibrinogen after heart surgery, reducing bleeding and costs.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study (not yet recruiting) with only 150 participants. It aims to understand variability, not to prove a new treatment works.
