TTAD: Thrombosomes® in Acute Thoracic Aortic Dissections
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The hypothesis is that administration of Thrombosomes® (TBX®) as hemostatic support when terminating the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute thoracic aortic dissection (aTAD) is safe and least as effective when compared to standard Platelet Concentrates (stPC).

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The study is designed as an exploratory phase 2a, single-center randomized, controlled pilot investigator-initiated trial of administration of Thrombosomes® (TBX®) versus standard platelet concentrates (stPC) in 20 aTAD patients per arm. The patients will be enrolled in the study over a period of 15 months.
TBX® is a novel, human platelet (thrombocyte) derived lyophilized (freeze dried) hemostatic blood product for treatment of bleeding due to thrombocytopenia, dysfunctional platelet disorders or platelet consumption.
The patients will be randomized to administration of either TBX®, or stPC, as part of the Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) at the time of termination of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in addition to standard goal-directed hemostatic optimization based on results from thrombelastography (TEG).
