Trial design
Randomised, open-label, intervention: reverpleg (argipressin) intravenous infusion (product reverpleg 40 u.i./2 ml solution to be diluted) — justification text lists concentration 0.04 iu/ml and dosage range 0.0065 to 0.033 iu/min and administered continuously intraoperative and within 24 h post-operative. comparator: noradrenaline viatris (norepinephrine tartrate) intravenous infusion (noradrenaline viatris 2 mg/ml solution to be diluted). specific per-patient dosing schedules are not fully specified beyond continuous iv perioperative administration and within 24 h post-operative.-controlled Phase III trial across 1 site in France.
