Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Cardiac surgery patients identified preoperatively as having a high risk of platelet
transfusion by either:

- the ACSePT (Australian Cardiac Surgery Platelet Transfusion (score)) risk
prediction tool score =1 OR

- the judgement of the clinicians caring for the patient

2. Written informed consent obtained prior to surgery
Minimum age
No limit
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Aged less than 18 years

2. Females of child-bearing age (18- 55 years) who are RhD (Rhesus type D)-negative or
whose RhD (Rhesus type D) status is unknown

3. Receipt of platelet transfusion during this hospital admission

4. Deep Vein Thrombosis or Pulmonary Emboli first diagnosed within the preceding 6 months

5. More than one lifetime episode of Deep Vein Thrombosis or Pulmonary Emboli

6. Known inherited or acquired bleeding disorder (e.g. haemophilia, von Willebrand
Disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anaemia, haematological
malignancy, chronic liver disease), or any undiagnosed bleeding condition, if (and
only if) such a disorder or condition is associated with a significant laboratory
abnormality at the time of preoperative screening. i.e.

- preoperative platelet count <50 000 or

- INR (International Normalised Ratio) >2 or

- aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) > 2 x upper limit of normal.

7. Treatment with warfarin, IV heparin or low-molecular weight heparin at "full"
therapeutic anticoagulant doses, or other anticoagulant or anti-platelet medications
such as factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban); factor II inhibitors
(dabigatran); adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel,
ticagrelor, ticlopidine); glycoprotein IIB/IIIA inhibitors (abciximab, eptifibatide,
tirofiban); phosphodiesterase inhibitors (cilostazol); or adenosine reuptake
inhibitors (dipyridamole) UNLESS this medication has been discontinued in advance of
surgery and its effect allowed to dissipate.

8. Known allergy to dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO)

9. Planned presence of an arterial line and central venous catheter for less than 12
hours postoperatively.

10. Known objection to receipt of human blood components

11. The treating physician believes it is not in the best interest of the patient to be
randomised in this trial

12. Previous enrolment during this admission in a clinical trial of a medication or
technique thought to influence bleeding, with the exception of any trial of aspirin
(i.e. trials involving aspirin are permitted), OR previous enrolment in a clinical
trial with a protocol that affects the transfusion of blood products.

13. Previous enrolment in this study

Summary
Brief summary
This trial is a phase III multicentre blinded randomised controlled clinical non-inferiority
trial of cryopreserved platelets vs. conventional liquid-stored platelets for the management
of surgical bleeding. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and cost
effectiveness of cryopreserved platelets, compared to conventional liquid-stored platelets,
for the management of surgical bleeding. This trial will recruit cardiac surgical patients
deemed to be at high risk of surgical bleeding and who may potentially require transfusion of
platelets. It is estimated to require 808 high-risk cardiac surgical patients to be
recruited, to obtain 202 patients who receive transfused study platelets for surgical
bleeding.
