Relation Between the Value of Platelet Clot Stiffness (PCS) Obtained by Sonorheometric Method of Delocalized Hemostasis (QUANTRA®), and the Presence of a Disorder of Primary Hemostasis, in Cardiac Surgery Patients. PLAQUA-Study
Reunion100 participantsStarted 2024-08-30
Plain-language summary
The goal of this study is to determine whether the Platelet Clot Stiffness (PCS) measured by QUANTRA® is predictive of an abnormality in primary haemostasis intraoperatively in cardiac surgery performed under extracorporeal circulation.
The aim is to compare the assessment of platelet function by QUANTRA® (data called PCS, obtained in around ten minutes) with laboratory tests which are validated, but which cannot be used in current practice (response time too long, in particular). We are therefore seeking to determine whether QUANTRA is reliable in the search for a primary hemostasis anomaly, defined by significant thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 100G/L), and/or a prolongation of platelet occlusion time measured by PFA-200® (normal or increased).
This clinical research project will last 12 months. It will take place in the cardiac surgery operating room at CHU Félix Guyon, and will involve 100 patients.
Patients who have consented to participate in this research project will be managed in the operating room in the usual way, with no change to their usual care (in terms of treatments received). At the end of the surgery, we will add 3 blood samples (maximum 8.1ml) for analysis to assess platelet function and compare with QUANTRA data.
This blood sample will be the only procedure performed. Medical management remains standard and will not be disrupted by this test.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
