• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2012-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the dose response relationship regarding blood loss, PK, PD and clinical outcomes of MDCO-2010 in comparison to placebo and tranexamic acid in patients undergoing primary cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of the study is to define minimally effective dose of MDCO-2010.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
