History of Changes
  Purpose

This study evaluated the single-dose pharmacokinetics of human fibrinogen concentrate and clot strength (maximum clot firmness [MCF]) in subjects with congenital fibrinogen deficiency. MCF was measured to demonstrate the functional activity of replacement fibrinogen when a fixed dose of human fibrinogen concentrate was administered.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum Clot Firmness (MCF) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion and 1 hour post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    MCF is a functional parameter that depends on the activation of coagulation, the fibrinogen content of the sample (in plasma), and the polymerization and crosslinking of the fibrin network. MCF was determined by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) testing.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) [ Time Frame: 0.5 hours to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    t1/2 for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 12 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Maximum Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Cmax for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 12 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Standardized for 70 mg/kg Body Weight Dose [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    AUC for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 12 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Clearance (Cl) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Cl for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 12 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Mean Residence Time (MRT) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    MRT for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 12 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 13 days post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Vss for fibrinogen activity was determined from samples taken at 11 timepoints during the specified time frame.

  • Incremental In Vivo Recovery (IVR) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 4 hours post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Maximum fibrinogen activity increase in plasma per mg/kg dosed

  • Classical In Vivo Recovery (IVR) [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion to 4 hours post-infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Maximum fibrinogen activity increase in plasma times plasma volume per mg/kg dose
