Efficacy and Safety of 4F-PCC (4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate) in Adult Patients Undergoing Complex Cardiovascular Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)
What this study is about
This is a phase 3, conducted at multiple hospitals, randomly assigned, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, parallel-group, controlled study to assess the effectiveness and safety of BE1116 compared with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in adult participants undergoing complex cardiovascular surgery with CPB.
View original scientific description
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of BE1116 compared with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in adult participants undergoing complex cardiovascular surgery with CPB. The primary purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of BE1116 and FFP in correcting coagulation factor deficiencies in bleeding participants undergoing complex cardiovascular surgery with CPB.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Adult greater than or equal to (≥) 18 years and has provided written informed consent.
- Undergoing elective complex cardiovascular surgery requiring CPB, including procedures of the thoracic aorta (with or without additional cardiac interventions), aortic valve replacement + coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), complex valve surgeries, mitral valve repair + CABG, and mitral valve replacement + CABG and reoperative CABG. Reoperative procedures are permitted. Excluded surgeries are as follows: heart transplantation, insertion or removal of ventricular assist devices (except for intra-aortic balloon pumps), and acute repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms.
- Coagulation factor replacement (ie, 4F-PCC or FFP) is ordered in the operating room for the management of bleeding, in accordance with accepted clinical standards. The following criteria must be met:
- INR ≥ 1.6 (point-of-care INR testing by Hemochron ≥ 5 to 10 minutes after protamine infusion for heparin reversal). If a participant needs a second dose of protamine, a new INR measurement should be performed to confirm eligibility.
- Significant microvascular hemorrhage (ie, not due to surgical complications), as defined by a BSS score of ≥ 2.
Exclusion criteria
- Administration of any systemic hemostatic therapy, such as cryoprecipitate, platelets, FFP, PCC (eg, 4-factor / 3-factor PCC \[4F-PCC / 3F-PCC\]), Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA), recombinant activated Factor VIIa (rFVIIa), or other coagulation factor products, in the 24 hours before study surgery, except when FFP is added to the CPB circuit.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
