Adjusted Fibrinogen Replacement Strategy

Summary

The main purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative use of fibrinogen concentrate BT524, as a complementary therapy for the management of uncontrolled severe hemorrhage in acquired hypofibrinogenemia. This non-inferiority study focused on the primary objective of demonstrating that BT524 is non-inferior that means not worse than the comparator fresh frozen plasma/cryoprecipitate in reducing intraoperative blood loss when administered intravenously in subjects with acquired hypofibrinogenemia undergoing elective major spinal or abdominal surgery.
