Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect of GRF6021 on clinical recovery parameters in participants undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot study to investigate the effects of GRF6021, a 5% human plasma protein fraction administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, on intracellular signaling cascades in blood leukocytes in participants undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty.

GRF6021

Participants received 4 doses of GRF6021, 250 milliliters (mL), intravenous (IV) infusion. The first dose was administered on day before surgery, the next two doses on the day of surgery i.e., within 4 hours before start of surgery (first incision), and then upon arrival in the postoperative care unit (within 5 hours after the first incision) and the last dose was administered on the day after the surgery.

Placebo

Participants received 4 doses of GRF6021 matching placebo, 250 mL, IV infusion. The first dose was administered on day before surgery, the next two doses on the day of surgery i.e., within 4 hours before start of surgery (first incision), and then upon arrival in the postoperative care unit (within 5 hours after the first incision) and the last dose was administered on the day after the surgery.
