Recombinant Factor VIIa as Adjunctive Therapy for Bleeding Control in Severely Injured Trauma Patients: Two Parallel Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Clinical Trials Bofford KD, Riou B, Warren B, et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.
Background • Coagulopathy is a major contributing factor to bleeding related mortality in trauma. • Coagulopathy in association with metabolic acidosis and hypothermia referred to as the “Lethal Triad”. Boffard KD et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.
Purpose • Evaluate the efficacy and safety of rFVIIa as adjunctive therapy for control of bleeding in patients with severe blunt or penetrating trauma. Boffard KD et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.
Methods Blunt or penetrating trauma, 32 centers Inclusion Severely traumatized 6 units PRBC within 4 hours of admission ≥ 16 to < 65 years Exclusion Cardiac arrest, GSW head, GCS < 8 unless NL CT, BD > 15, pH < 7, 8 or more units PRBC prior to arrival to trauma center, injury ≥12 hours prior to randomization Boffard KD et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.
Methods • Two parallel trials • Blunt trauma and penetrating trauma • Intervention • Randomization to rFVIIa or PL • Dose 200mcg, 100mcg, 100mcg at 0,1,3 hours, respectively, administered after the 8th unit PRBC • Monitoring • Transfusion and infusion requirements 48 h after rFVIIa • Blood samples to evaluate changes in coagulation and blood biochemistry parameters Boffard KD et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.
End Points • Primary end point • RBC units 48 hours after first rFVIIa dose. • Secondary end points • Other transfusion products, mortality, days on ventilator, ICU LOS. • Adverse events, coagulation-related lab variables • Composite of death and critical complications • MOF and ARDS Boffard KD et al. J Trauma 2005;59:8-18.

Conclusions • rFVIIa significantly improved bleeding control in blunt trauma • Decrease RBC transfusions • Decrease in number of patients requiring massive transfusion • Similar trend in patients with penetrating trauma • Adverse events were not increased with rFVIIa Boffard KD et al.
