January 17, 2014 updated by: Ethicon, Inc.

A Phase III Randomized, Controlled, Superiority Study Evaluating the Fibrin Pad Versus Standard of Care Treatment in Controlling Parenchymal Bleeding During Elective Hepatic Surgery

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and and hemostatic effectiveness of the Fibrin Pad (FP) versus standard of care treatment (SoC) in controlling parenchymal bleeding during hepatic surgery.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
84

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects > 18 years of age, requiring elective or urgent, open hepatic surgery
  • Presence of an appropriate bleeding hepatic parenchymal Target Bleeding Site (TBS) as identified intra-operatively by the surgeon
  • Subjects must be willing to participate in the study, and provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with any intra-operative findings identified by the surgeon that may preclude conduct of the study procedure
  • TBS is from large defects in arteries or veins where the injured vascular wall requires repair with maintenance of vessel patency and which would result in persistent exposure of the FP to blood flow and pressure during healing and absorption of the product
  • TBS with major arterial bleeding requiring suture or mechanical ligation
  • Subjects admitted for trauma surgery
  • Subject is a transplant patient for fulminant hepatic failure
  • Subject with TBS within an actively infected field
  • Bleeding site is in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, or areas of bony confine
  • Subjects with known intolerance to blood products or to one of the components of the study product or is unwilling to receive blood products
  • Subjects who are known, current alcohol and / or drug abusers
  • Subjects who have participated in another investigational drug or device research study within 30 days of surgery
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or nursing

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: Fibrin Pad
Biologic
Biological: Fibrin Pad
Fibrin Pad is a sterile bio-absorbable combination product consisting of two constituent parts- a flexible matrix and a coating of two biological components (Human Fibrinogen and Human Thrombin).
OTHER: Standard of Care
Procedure
Procedure: Standard of Care
Standard of Care is a composite of techniques/methods typically used by the surgeon to control bleeding.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS).
Time Frame: Intra-operative
Intra-operative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis success at 10-minutes following randomization.
Time Frame: Intra-operative
Intra-operative
Absolute time to hemostasis
Time Frame: Intraoperative

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (ACTUAL)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
