Safety and Efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols (FS Grifols) During Parenchymous Tissue Open Surgeries

December 16, 2016 updated by: Instituto Grifols, S.A.

A Prospective, Single-blind, Randomized, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols (FS Grifols) as an Adjunct to Hemostasis During Parenchymous Tissue Open Surgeries

This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols in patients undergoing open surgical procedures where bleeding may be present on parenchymous tissue (e.g., solid abdominal organs such as the liver). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Fibrin Sealant Grifols is not inferior to commercially-available oxidized cellulose pads (Surgicel®) in providing benefit in the time to hemostasis (i.e, the stoppage of bleeding). This study has a Preliminary Part (I) for study teams to become familiar with the application of Fibrin Sealant Grifols and to assess safety and a Primary Part (II) to assess the safety and efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols. In both parts of the study, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either Fibrin Sealant Grifols or Surgicel.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Four Minutes After Treatment Start
Time Frame: From start of treatment until 4 minutes after treatment start
Subjects achieving hemostasis at the target bleeding site by 4 minutes following the start of treatment without the occurrence of re-bleeding until the completion of surgical closure.
From start of treatment until 4 minutes after treatment start

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Three Minutes After Treatment Start
Time Frame: From start of treatment until 3 minutes after treatment start

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.
