  • Known sensitivity to aprotinin or bovine protein
  • Subject is currently participating in another clinical study and has received an investigational product or device within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Treatment with thrombolytic agents (e.g. tissue plasminogen activator [tPA], Streptase® [streptokinase], Activase® [alteplase], Retavase® [reteplase],) Integrilin® (eptifibatide), Aggrastat® (tirofiban), Plavix® (clopidogrel), ReoPro® (abciximab), or Ticlid® (ticlopidine), Pletal® (cilostazol) < 24 hours prior to treatment with investigative product
  • Subject is scheduled for heart transplantation
  • Subject is scheduled for left ventricular assist device insertion or removal
  • Subject is scheduled to undergo any surgical procedure other than the cardiac surgery for which the subject is being treated under this protocol within 14 days prior to treatment. Surgeries in the pericardium associated with the cardiac surgery and not specifically excluded above are permitted.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Topical Hemostatic Efficacy and Safety of Fibrin Sealant Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent Treated Compared With Currently Licensed TISSEEL VH Fibrin Sealant in Subjects Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

The objective of this study is to demonstrate equivalent hemostatic efficacy and safety between FS VH S/D and TISSEEL VH fibrin sealant in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. If bleeding is still present after conventional surgical methods to achieve hemostasis have been applied FS VH S/D or Tisseel VH are applied. Achievement of hemostasis within 5 minutes is compared between the study groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fibrin Sealant Vapor Heated Solvent/Detergent Treated (FS VH S/D) and TISSEEL VH fibrin sealant in people with Cardiac Surgery Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Median Sternotomy and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation at 22 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Apr 2017.
