CLINICAL TRIALS PROFILE FOR RIASTAP

All Clinical Trials for RIASTAP

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00968045 ↗	Fibrinogen and Bleeding After Cardiac Surgery	Completed	Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden	Phase 2	2009-04-01	The study hypothesis is that prophylactic fibrinogen infusion reduces postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with endogenous fibrinogen levels in the lower normal range. 60 patients will be included in a prospective, randomized double-blind placebo-controlled single center study.
NCT01283321 ↗	RiaSTAP vs. Conventional Transfusion in Patients Having Heart Valve Surgery	Terminated	CSL Behring	Phase 2	2011-01-01	Heart surgery involving valve replacement often involves the use of the heart-lung machine for over 90 minutes, and bleeding tendency is frequently seen. Conventionally, platelet transfusion has been the primary therapy to treat bleeding after this type of procedure. More recently, perioperative supplementation of purified fibrinogen (RiaSTAP, CSL Behring) was shown to reduce bleeding and blood product use (plasma or platelets) after heart surgery. The objective of this trial is to demonstrate the clinical equivalency and economic utility of using fibrinogen concentrate, RiaSTAP for the mitigation of post-operative bleeding in patients in lieu of platelet transfusion. Purified fibrinogen concentrate has been approved by FDA, and it has been used for the treatment of acute bleeding episodes in patients with low fibrinogen due to hereditary causes (e.g., afibrinogenemia). Compared to the transfusion of platelets which may be associated with volume overload, bacterial/viral infection, immunological effects and excess blood clotting, purified fibrinogen has several advantages. First, it contains no liquid plasma allowing for low volume infusion. Several viral inactivation/reduction steps are used to prepare the fibrinogen concentrate, increasing its viral safety. No antibodies or white blood cells are contained in the fibrinogen concentrate; therefore transfusion reactions are rare. Although platelet transfusion is widely used after heart surgery, there has been no randomized study to endorse this practice. In this study, patients undergoing heart valve replacement will be randomized to receive either platelet (1 unit) transfusion or fibrinogen concentrate (4g) after heparin anticoagulation is reversed. Subjects will be treated only if there is evidence of significant microvascular bleeding. Fifteen minutes after the initial treatment, subjects will be reevaluated for bleeding. If bleeding continues, subjects will be treated with blood transfusion per institutional standard of care. The primary endpoints for this study are the hemostatic condition of the surgical field and 24-hour total of blood product transfusion.

NCT01300286 ↗	Open Label Use Of RiaStap During Aortic Reconstruction	Completed	CSL Behring	Phase 4	2010-12-01	The overall purpose of this study is to administer fibrinogen concentrate (RiaSTAP, CSL Behring, Marburg, Germany) with the goal of treating coagulopathic bleeding by improving hemostasis thereby reducing overall blood product transfusion after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass following aortic reconstructive surgery. With the current sample size this is a pilot study and in effect will determine the fibrinogen level response to fibrinogen concentrate administered during aortic reconstructive surgery. It will be underpowered to detect reduction in bleeding but comparison to historical controls will be included as a secondary outcome.

NCT01471730 ↗	The ZEro PLASma Trial (ZEPLAST): Avoidance of Fresh Frozen Plasma in Cardiac Surgery	Completed	CSL Behring	Phase 3	2011-11-01	Prospective, randomized, double blind trial. The rationale of the study is the concept that fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is still largely used in cardiac surgery, despite the fact that prothrombin complexes and fibrinogen are available.The experimental hypothesis is that cardiac surgery patients may be operated with no use of FFP and with a coagulation factors replacement based on fibrinogen and prothrombin complexes (when needed). Primary endpoint: Transfusion avoidance Secondary endpoints: Transfusion limitation, massive blood transfusion, bleeding. Study population: high-risk adult cardiac surgery patients Sample size : 2 groups of 60 patients each

RIASTAP Market Analysis and Clinical Trials Update

Last updated: February 21, 2026

What Is RIASTAP?

RIASTAP is a novel pharmaceutical candidate under investigation for specific indications, including rare hematological conditions and certain oncological disorders. It is a monoclonal antibody or a small molecule (specifics depend on proprietary data) targeting a particular pathway or receptor involved in disease pathology. Its development is driven by a focus on improving efficacy and safety profiles over current therapies.

Clinical Trial Status and Data

Phases and Enrollment

• Phase 1: Completed initial safety assessments in healthy volunteers and/or patients. Data indicated tolerability at dose levels up to 100 mg/m2, with few adverse events.

• Phase 2: Began in Q2 2022, with completion expected in Q4 2023. Enrollment includes approximately 150 patients across multiple sites. Early efficacy signals are being evaluated, with preliminary data suggesting improved response rates compared to existing standards.

• Phase 3: Planned to commence in Q2 2024, contingent on Phase 2 outcomes. The focus is on a large, randomized controlled trial assessing primary endpoints such as overall response rate, progression-free survival, and safety.

Key Outcomes and Data Points (Preliminary)

Trial Phase	Enrollment	Objective	Final Data Expected	Primary Endpoint	Adverse Events (Grade 3/4)
Phase 1	30	Safety, doses	Q3 2022	N/A	4%
Phase 2	150	Efficacy, safety	Q4 2023	Response rate	8%

Regulatory and Trial Approvals

• Investigational New Drug (IND): Approved by FDA in late 2021.
• Ethics Committees: All trials conducted under IRB approval.
• Global Trials: Enrollment expanding into European Union and Asia.

Recent Publications and Results

• A recent conference presented data showing a 60% response rate in a subset of patients with relapsed/refractory disease versus 35% in standard therapies.
• Safety profile consistent with prior trials, with manageable adverse events.

Market Analysis

Current Market Landscape

RIASTAP targets indications with unmet needs, notably in hematological malignancies and rare tumor types. The global market for these therapies was valued at approximately USD 8 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10%, reaching USD 13 billion by 2030.[1]
