TachoSil® Versus Surgicel® Original for the Secondary Treatment of Local Bleeding in Adult and Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection Surgery

October 22, 2015 updated by: Takeda

A Randomized, Open Label, Parallel-group, Multi-center Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of TachoSil® Versus Surgicel® Original for the Secondary Treatment of Local Bleeding in Adult and Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection Surgery

The efficacy and safety of TachoSil® as secondary hemostatic treatment in hepatic resection surgery will be compared to the standard USA licensed hemostatic agent, Surgicel® Original. Hemostatic efficacy will be evaluated intraoperatively after application of randomized treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Resection of at least the equivalent tissue volume of 1 anatomical segment of the liver
  • Minor to moderate (oozing/diffuse) bleeding from the resection area persisting after conventional resection procedure and primary control of arterial pulsating bleeding or major venous hemorrhage by sutures, ligations, clips, vascular stapler, point electrocautery or focal radiofrequency ablation
  • Need for additional supportive hemostatic treatment
  • Expected ability to lightly press the trial treatment to the liver resection wound for 3 minutes

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Indication for emergency surgery
  • Known coagulopathy (as judged relevant by the investigator)
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the investigational medicinal products (e.g. human fibrinogen, human thrombin and/or collagen of any origin)
  • Patient unwilling to receive blood products
  • Known current alcohol or drug abuse
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, no use of acceptable contraceptive method in females of childbearing potential
  • Dry surgical field of the targeted application area
  • Occurrence of any serious surgical complication
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), i.e. microvascular bleeding
  • Application of topical hemostatic material on the liver resection wound
  • Radiofrequency precoagulation of the liver resection wound except focal radiofrequency ablation of vessels as primary hemostatic treatment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: TachoSil®
TachoSil® absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Intraoperative application as secondary hemostatic treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Surgicel® Original
Surgicel® Original absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.
Intraoperative application as secondary hemostatic treatment

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 3 Minutes
Time Frame: within 3 minutes
3 Minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.
within 3 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 5 Minutes
Time Frame: within 5 minutes
3, 4 and 5 minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.
within 5 minutes
Time to Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site
Time Frame: 10 minutes
The target bleeding area was observed at 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 minutes after the patch was applied to see if the bleeding stopped, and time in minutes until bleeding stopped was recorded.
10 minutes
