Study arms

  • Experimental
    Factor VII

    Drug: eptacog alfa (activated) · Drug: clopidogrel

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Drug: clopidogrel · Drug: placebo

Interventions

  • Drugeptacog alfa (activated)

    If subject is eligible to continue after clopidogrel treatment, three different doses of trial drug is administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over two to three minutes followed by post-trial biopsies

    Also known as: activated recombinant human factor VII

  • Drugclopidogrel

    Following a baseline biopsy (B0) subjects will receive oral treatment with an initial 300 mg loading dose followed by daily 75 mg doses for at least 3 additional days. If the target platelet inhibition (PI) is achieved, the subject will undergo punch biopsy 1 (B1).

  • Drugplacebo

    If subject is eligible to continue after clopidogrel treatment, three different doses of trial drug is administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over two to three minutes followed by post-trial biopsies

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bleeding duration measured in minutes

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood volume reported in millilitres

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

  2. Clot dynamics on the TEG (thromboelastograph hemostasis analyzer): R in minutes

    Time frame: Time to onset of clot formation

  3. Clot dynamics on the TEG (thromboelastograph hemostasis analyzer): K in minutes

    Time frame: Time to achieve 20 mm clot strength

  4. Adverse events, including thrombotic events

    Time frame: From screening to day 11-18

  5. Change in coagulation-related parameters after pre-biopsy

    Time frame: From baseline to 15 minutes after pre-biopsy

  6. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B2

    Time frame: From baseline to 3 hours after B2

  7. Change in coagulation-related parameters after biopsy B3

    Time frame: From baseline to 1 hour after B3
