Brief Summary

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

Aim of the ACTION-1 study is to determine whether ACT guided heparinization decreases thrombo-embolic complications (TEC) and mortality after elective open AAA surgery, without causing more bleeding complications.

Detailed Description

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

Heparin is used during open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery to reduce thrombo-embolic complications (TEC): such as myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral embolic events and the related mortality. On the other hand, heparin may increase blood loss, causing harm for the patient.

Heparin has an unpredictable effect in the individual patient. The effect of heparin can be measured by using the Activated Clotting Time (ACT). ACT measurement in open AAA repair could be introduced to ensure the individual patient of safe, tailor-made anticoagulation with a goal ACT of 200-220 seconds. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) has to prove that ACT guided heparinization would result in fewer TEC and lower mortality than a standardized bolus of heparin of 5 000 international units (IU), the current gold standard. ACT guided heparinization results in higher doses of heparin during operation and this should not result in significantly more bleeding complications of importance.

The ACTION-1 study will evaluate the effect of weight dosed heparinization during open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.The study will be an international multi-centre single blind randomized controlled trial. Patients will be randomized using a computerized program (CASTOR EDC) with a random block size of a maximum of 8. The randomization will be stratified by participating centre. Separate evaluation of results and if complications can be labelled as TEC, will be performed by an Independent Central Adjudication Committee. The 3 members of this Committee will be blinded with regard to if the patient was randomized for ACT guided heparinization or standard bolus of 5 000 IU without ACT measurements.

In the intervention group, heparin is given to reach an ACT of 200-220 seconds. Based on the ACT, an additional dose of heparin will be administered. Five minutes after every administration of heparin the ACT is measured. If the ACT is 200 seconds or longer, the next ACT measurement is performed every 30 minutes, until the end of the procedure or until new heparin administration is required (because of ACT \< 200 seconds). Depending on the ACT value near the end of surgery, protamine will be given to neutralize the effect of heparin.

In the comparative group, a single dose of 5 000 IU of heparin will be given 3-5 minutes before clamping of the aorta. No ACT measurements will be performed, except for one ACT measurement after re-establishing blood flow and removing all clamps. Depending on that ACT value near the end of surgery, the local protamine can be given to neutralize the effect of heparin.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Intervention group:

Heparin is given to reach an ACT of 200-220 seconds. At the start of the procedure, before any heparin is given, a baseline ACT measurement is performed. 3-5 minutes before clamping of the aorta 100 IU/kg bodyweight of heparin is administrated intravenously. 5 minutes after administration of heparin, ACT measurement is performed.

Comparative group:

A single dose of 5 000 IU of heparin is given 3-5 minutes before clamping of the aorta. No ACT measurements are performed, except for one ACT measurement after re-establishing blood flow and removing all clamps.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Patients will be randomized using a computerized program (CASTOR EDC) with a random block size of a maximum of 8. The randomization will be stratified by participating centre. The participant is blinded to the allocated treatment.

Separate evaluation of results and if complications can be labelled as TEC, will be performed by an Independent Central Adjudication Committee. The 3 members of this Committee will be blinded to the allocated treatment.

Since the care provider and investigator have to do the ACT measuring, it is impossible to blind them to the allocated treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ACT guided heparinization

Heparin is given to reach an ACT of 200-220 seconds. At the start of the procedure, before any heparin is given, a baseline ACT measurement is performed. 3-5 minutes before clamping of the aorta 100 IU/kg bodyweight of heparin is administrated intravenously. 5 minutes after administration of heparin, ACT measurement is performed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ACT guided heparinization

Intervention Type DRUG

If the ACT is \<180 sec., an additional dose of heparin of 60 IU/kg is administered. If the ACT is 180-200 sec., 30 IU/kg.

If the ACT is \>200 sec., no extra heparin is given. 5 min. after every administration of heparin the ACT is measured. If the ACT is \>200 sec, the next ACT measurement is performed every 30 min., until the end of the procedure or until new heparin administration is required. After each new dose of heparin, an ACT measurement is performed after 5 min. and the above- described protocol of ACT measurements will be repeated. After re-establishing blood flow and removing all clamps, the ACT is measured.

If the ACT at closure is 200-250 sec., 2500 IU of protamine should be administered. If \>250 sec., 5000 IU protamine. If 180-200 sec., 1000 IU protamine. 5 min. after the administration of protamine, the ACT is measured. The ACT should preferably be below 180 sec. If the ACT is still more than 200 sec., protamine should be administered again.

5 000 IU of heparin

A single dose of 5 000 IU of heparin is given 3-5 minutes before clamping of the aorta. No ACT measurements are performed, except for one ACT measurement after re-establishing blood flow and removing all clamps. Depending on that ACT value near the end of surgery, the local protamine can be given to neutralize the effect of heparin. Only on clarified indications extra doses of heparin or protamine are permitted, at the discretion of the attending vascular surgeon. Indications could be clot formation intravascular or in a prosthesis, excessive bleeding or prolonged operation duration. Deviations from protocol should be clearly stated with reasoning in the operative report.
