Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With 28-Day All-cause Mortality [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
    28-Day All-cause Mortality

  2. Number of Participants With On-Treatment Serious Major Bleeding Events [ Time Frame: Through Study Day 28 ]
    On-treatment Serious Major Bleeding Events collected as Serious Adverse Events and defined as: any intracranial hemorrhage, any life-threatening bleeding, any bleeding event classified as serious by the Investigator (e.g., resulting in permanent morbidity), or any bleeding that required the administration of 1440 ml (typically 6 units) of packed red cells over two consecutive days. (Investigator assessment for seriousness criteria.)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Follow up All-cause Mortality at 3 Months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Follow up all-cause mortality at 3 months

  2. Number of Event Free and Alive Days to Measure Resolution of Organ Dysfunction [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
    Resolution of organ dysfunction as measured through day 28 by shock free, ventilator free, dialysis free plus alive days.

  3. Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies [ Time Frame: 18 months ]
    Presence of Anti-drug antibodies up to 18 months
