Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Goals of the project are:
* To determine the inter-laboratory variability by evaluating an enhanced standardized TGA-CAT protocol.
* To evaluate if the inter-laboratory variability of the TGA-CAT method is effected by administration of a recombinant FVIII product (Advate) in a person with severe hemophilia A
* To evaluate if the inter-laboratory variability of the TGA-CAT method is effected by administration of a long acting FVIII product (Adynovate) in a person with severe hemophilia A
* To evaluate three reference plasma´s ability, through normalization of data, to improve the lab-to-lab variability.
Introduction The TGA CAT method has proved its usefulness for multiple purposes including diagnosis and management of bleeding disorders (1, 2), detecting hyper coagulability (3, 4), and monitoring and characterization of oral anticoagulant drugs (5, 6). Most of these studies are single-center studies and large prospective multi-center studies are needed to further validate the results. These multi-center studies have proved to be hard to produce due to lack of standardization of the method. In the last couple of years several articles have addressed the problem with large inter-laboratory variability for the TGA-CAT method by presenting thoroughly worked-out standardization protocols. Focus has been put both on the method itself and its pre-analytical factors as well as the usage of reference plasmas (RP) for normalization of results. One article showed that the choice of RP for the normalization of results could greatly reduce the inter-lab variability and that certain RP have a better ability to do so (7).
Lately a number of recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) and IX (rFIX) drugs with prolonged half-life have been developed and are about to or even have reached the market. The length of the pro-longed activity of the drug differs between patients and a need for individual tailoring of the patient´s drug administration is obvious. Thrombin generation could prove to be an excellent tool in tailoring the optimal drug administration and monitoring the effect of the drug for each individual.
Methods and materials Thrombin generation Thrombin generation will be measured according to the method described by Hemker et al.(8): calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT, Thrombinoscope BV, Maastricht, the Netherlands).
Reagents PPP-reagent LOW (1 pM), PPP-reagent (5 pM), Thrombin Calibrator and FluCa-kit (TS31.00, TS30.00, TS20.00 and TS50.00, Thrombinoscope BV, Maastricht, The Netherlands) will be used in the test.
Samples Three different plasmas will be tested, normal plasma, hypo- and hypercoagulable plasma. Normal and hypercoagulable plasma will be pooled from 3 donors and hypocoagulable plasma will be collected from 4 donors. Hypocoagulable plasma will be collected from five haemophilia A (HA) patients regularly treated at the Malmö Coagulation Unit by taking 10 4.5 mL tubes of citrated blood at one occasion. Normal plasma will be collected from 3 co-workers at the same unit, each person donating 13 tubes of 4.5 mL citrated blood. Hypercoaguable plasma will be prepared from 3 healthy volunteers, shown to have TGA CAT parameter values \>2 SD of median by taking 13 tubes of 4.5 mL citrated blood. Plasma from one patient with severe HA patient that have been given FVIII-concentrates, Advate™ respectively the long-acting Adynovate™ at two separate occasions will also be tested. After informed consent the patient will be asked not to take his regular profylaxis dose for 72 hours. The patient will be given Advate™ and Adynovate™ respectively at 30 U/kg. The monitoring samples will be taken 1h, 8h, 24h, 36h and 48h (Advate™) and 1h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h (Adynovate™) after injection. At each time point 3 tubes of 4.5 mL blood will be taken.
Reference plasmas Siemens Control Plasma P diluted 1:5 will be used as hypocoaguable RP, HemosIL calibration plasma (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Ma, USA) will be used as Standard RP and as hypercoagable plasma PS-DP (protein S-deficiency plasma)(Enzyme research laboratories, South Bend, In, USA) will be used.
Statistical analysis Raw data will be collected and analyzed at the Coagulation Unit, Skåne University Hospital, Malmö. Each participating center will be matched with Malmö Coagulation unit in a test of agreement where Bland-Altman bias plot will be used. The mean, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV%) will be calculated for each center with and without normalization and displayed in a table. The Advate/ Adynovate elimination profiles will be plotted and multivariate repeated measurements analyses of variance including a general test for parallel curves, will be applied to evaluate differences between Centers in the elimination profiles.
Study design The study aims to evaluate the inter-laboratory variability of TGA-CAT performed TGT with a highly standardized protocol, how the use of RFs for normalization of data impact on variability of results and to evaluate the usefulness of TGA-CAT in monitoring prolonged FVIII drug administration. All Fluorometers of the participating center´s should be serviced and have temperature calibrated to 37 C prior start of the study. The latest software version must be installed (Thromboscope BV, Maastricht, The Netherlands, version V5.0.0.742). All laboratory equipment, pipettes, water baths, water purifiers, etc., needs to be calibrated. All plasmas, TGA-CAT reagents needed for the study will be administered and distributed to all participating centers by the Coagulation Unit, Malmö. An USB-memory stick containing a plate set-up scheme file and a video file covering critical pre-analytical and analytical steps will also be provided alongside the samples and reagents. Three pooled plasmas (normal, hypo- and hypercoaguable), three RF, five Adynovate and five Advate monitoring samples will be run five times on five different days by each participating center, following a scheme provided in the USB-memory stick, with two different triggers, PPP-reagent LOW (1 pM) and PPP-reagent (5 pM). Two test runs are scheduled each day to maximize RF and reagent usage. The reason for testing three different types of RF is the fact an earlier study results implied a better reduction of variability when using, for an example a hypocoaguable RF to hypocoaguable plasmas (9).
