About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Self-Controlled Clinical Study of Hemostatic Efficacy of the HemCon Dental Dressing in a Population Treated With Anticoagulant Medications

The purpose of this study is to determine if the HemCon Dental Dressing is effective in stopping bleeding during dental surgeries in patients taking anticoagulant medications.

Read the detailed description

As the HemCon® Dental Dressing has been FDA cleared for use as a physical barrier for temporary protection of oral mucosal tissue and to provide pain relief, the proposed study will further investigate the safety and efficacy of hemostasis of the dressing for use in dental surgical procedures that do not require primary closure (suturing) such as tooth extractions. This protocol will specifically research the safety and efficacy of hemostasis within a population of subjects taking anticoagulant medications.

Being tested
HemCon Dental Dressing, Gauze with pressure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HemCon Dental Dressing and Gauze with pressure in people with Tooth Extractions, run by HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc at 2 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 7 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to hemostasis (time frame: minutes after application). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 24 Sep 2012.
