E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This study will investigate the following: • feasibility of administration FgC within 45 minutes of admission to ED, where the aim will be to administer the FgC at the earliest possible time • effects of early FgC supplementation on laboratory biomarkers during major traumatic haemorrhage
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to compare trends between the groups for adverse events, death, transfusion requirements, duration of in patient stay, duration/requirement for organ support, quality of life and fibrinogen levels which would inform the power calculation for a larger clinical trial.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Laboratory sub study - examining microfluidic changes before and after administration of fibrinogen concentrate to evaluate the effects on clot formation. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Written informed consent or agreement, or waiver of consent, is obtained before any study related activity 2. The participant is judged to be an adult (aged 16 years or over) and is affected by traumatic injury 3. The participant is deemed by the attending clinician to have on-going active haemorrhage with shock AND REQUIRES: 4. activation of the local major haemorrhage protocol for management of severe blood loss and/or transfusion of emergency (Group O) red cells |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. The participant has been transferred from another hospital 2. The trauma team leader deems the patient inappropriate for the trial i.e. injuries deemed to be incompatible with life 3. More than 3 hours have elapsed from the time of injury 4. The participant is pregnant 5. Severe isolated TBI or unsalvageable head injury |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The E-FIT Study is a pilot feasibility trial which will investigate: -Feasibility of administering FgC within 45 minutes of admission -Proportion of patients with at least one Clauss fibrinogen level ≥ 2 g/L during active haemorrhage
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Administration of FgC - within 45 minutes of admission to the emergency department Maintenance of Fg blood levels - within the first active haemorrhage |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Mortality rate: 3 hours, 6 hours, 24hours and 28 days from admission Transfusion requirements, in numbers of units, for RBC, platelets, FFP & cryoprecipitate at 3, 6 and 24 hours from admission Duration and/or requirement for organ support to day 28 In patient stay including ICU/HDU stay ROTEM measures of coagulation: EXTEM and FIBTEM (where available) Clauss fibrinogen levels at day 7 post admission Quality of life Mortality at 1 year by longer term follow up Proportion of patients achieving haemostasis at 3 hours after admission (using a trial specific haemorrhage assessment tool). The haemorrhage assessment tool will be piloted during this study to evaluate its utility for future definitive trials. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The end of the trial will be defined by the completion of patient follow up at day 28, discharge or death (whichever is soonest). This is consistent with the nature of trauma trial follow up. Subsequently all trial activities will be completed on completion of the study report. |
