NCT01563523

Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII given in conjunction with standard therapy in the treatment of massive bleeding in subjects with severe blunt and/or penetrating trauma injury.
