Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This was a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that was conducted at 24 centers in the United States and Canada. 100 adult and pediatric patients with dysfunctional central venous catheters (CVCs) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive an initial dose of either placebo (Arm A) or tenecteplase (Arm B).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Tenecteplase + Tenecteplase (PTT)

Drug: placebo
2 mL of placebo instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Patients weighing ≥ 30 kg received 2-mL instillations of study drug (i.e., 2 mg of placebo). Patients weighing < 30 kg received instillations of study drug equal to 110% of the internal lumen volume of the dysfunctional CVC. This dose was rounded to the nearest 0.1 mL and should not have exceeded 2 mL (2 mg).

Drug: tenecteplase
2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Patients weighing ≥ 30 kg received 2-mL instillations of study drug (i.e., 2 mg of tenecteplase). Patients weighing < 30 kg received instillations of study drug equal to 110% of the internal lumen volume of the dysfunctional CVC. This dose was rounded to the nearest 0.1 mL and should not have exceeded 2 mL (2 mg).

Experimental: Tenecteplase + Tenecteplase + Placebo (TTP)

Drug: placebo
2 mL of placebo instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Patients weighing ≥ 30 kg received 2-mL instillations of study drug (i.e., 2 mg of placebo). Patients weighing < 30 kg received instillations of study drug equal to 110% of the internal lumen volume of the dysfunctional CVC. This dose was rounded to the nearest 0.1 mL and should not have exceeded 2 mL (2 mg).

Drug: tenecteplase
2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Patients weighing ≥ 30 kg received 2-mL instillations of study drug (i.e., 2 mg of tenecteplase). Patients weighing < 30 kg received instillations of study drug equal to 110% of the internal lumen volume of the dysfunctional CVC. This dose was rounded to the nearest 0.1 mL and should not have exceeded 2 mL (2 mg).

Arm/Group Title Placebo + Tenecteplase + Tenecteplase (PTT) Tenecteplase + Tenecteplase + Placebo (TTP)
Arm/Group Description Initial dose: 2 mL of placebo instilled into lumen of dysfunctional central venous cathether (CVC). If CVC function was not restored, patient received second dose: 2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. If CVC function was not restored, patient received third dose: 2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Restoration of CVC function was defined as the successful withdrawal of at least 3 mL of blood or fluid and infusion of 5 mL of normal saline in patients weighing ≥ 10 kg, and withdrawal of at least 1 mL of blood or fluid and infusion of 3 mL of normal saline in patients weighing < 10 kg. Initial dose: 2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. If CVC function not restored, patient received second dose: 2 mL of reconstituted lyophilized tenecteplase instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. If CVC function not restored, patient received third dose: 2 mL of placebo instilled into lumen of dysfunctional CVC. Restoration of CVC function was defined as the successful withdrawal of at least 3 mL of blood or fluid and infusion of 5 mL of normal saline in patients weighing ≥ 10 kg, and withdrawal of at least 1 mL of blood or fluid and infusion of 3 mL of normal saline in patients weighing < 10 kg.
