Official title
A Comparison of Anavip and CroFab in the Treatment of Subjects With Crotalinae (Pit Viper) Envenomation: A Randomized, Prospective, Open-Label, Controlled, Comparative, Multicenter Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase II study was a prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center study in the United States, involving patients from 18 to 70 years of age, comparing Anavip (Antivenin Crotalinae \[pit viper\] equine immune F(ab)2; Instituto Bioclon, Mexico City, Mexico) against CroFab (Protherics Inc., Nashville, Tennessee), the only currently approved product for treatment of Crotalinae (pit viper) envenomation in the US. The study was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that lasting correction of snakebite induced thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia are possible following correction with F(ab)2 antivenom, by analyzing in detail the relationships among platelet count, fibrinogen, venom levels, and antivenom levels in subjects presenting with thrombocytopenia following crotaline viper envenomation. In the study we expected to see a fall in platelet count following Fab treatment, commensurate with that reported in the past. We hypothesized that following F(ab)2 treatment there would be a slower drop in post-treatment platelet counts, with a relatively higher platelet count at any given point in the follow-up period. We further hypothesized that an initial rise and later fall in platelet count would correspond with rise and fall in antivenom levels, and would be mirrored by concurrent drop and rise in levels of unbound circulating venom.
