Study summary

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII to mitigate experimentally-induced bleeding in healthy volunteers treated with warfarin to reach a targeted INR (International Normalization Ratio).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Pre-warfarin treatment (trial part A)

    Drug: warfarin

  • Experimental
    Post-warfarin treatment (trial part B)

    Drug: eptacog alfa (activated) · Drug: placebo

Interventions

  • Drugwarfarin

    After a baseline punch biopsy (B0), warfarin is administered over a period of approximately 7-14 days. Dose is adjusted individually to achieve INR target. Once a stable INR is achieved, a second biopsy (B1) will be performed

  • Drugeptacog alfa (activated)

    If the subject is eligible to continue in trial part B, trial drug will be administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes in five different doses followed by two biopsies (B2) and (B3) 15 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively, after trial drug administration

    Also known as: activated recombinant human factor VII

  • Drugplacebo

    If the subject is eligible to continue in trial part B, trial drug will be administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes in five different doses followed by two biopsies (B2) and (B3) 15 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively, after trial drug administration

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bleeding duration measured in minutes after biopsies in trial part A

    Time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  2. Bleeding duration measured in minutes after biopsy B1 in trial part B

    Time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood volume reported in millilitres after biopsies in trial part A

    Time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  2. Blood volume reported in millilitres after biopsy B1 in trial part B

    Time frame: From onset of bleeding till the end of the bleeding

  3. Adverse events, including thrombotic events

    Time frame: From day 0 to days 14-28

  4. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B1

    Time frame: From baseline to 3 hours after B1

  5. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B2

    Time frame: From baseline to 3 hours after B2

  6. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B3

    Time frame: From baseline to 3 hours after B3

  7. Clot dynamics: R in minutes (trial part B)

    Time frame: Time to onset of clot formation

  8. Clot dynamics: K in minutes (trial part B)

    Time frame: Time to achieve 20mm clot strength
