About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Single-Blind, Controlled, Comparative Efficacy and Safety and Study of Topical Fibrocaps™ and Gelatin Sponge in Surgical Hemostasis in the Netherlands

A multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, comparative efficacy and safety trial in subjects undergoing open liver resection surgery. The study will enroll 42 eligible subjects and be conducted at 4 sites in the Netherlands.

Read the detailed description

This will be a multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, comparative efficacy and safety trial in 60 subjects undergoing hepatic resection. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Fibrocaps + Gelfoam or Gelfoam on the day of surgery.

The Fibrospray device will be used to apply Fibrocaps to the Target Bleeding Site. All investigators using the Fibrospray device will be trained on the correct and safe set-up and use of Fibrocaps and the Fibrospray device prior to participating in this clinical trial.

Being tested
Fibrocaps (fibrin sealant), Gelatin sponge

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Hemostasis

    Time from application of treatment to cessation of bleeding

    Measured: 0-10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety

    Number of participants with Adverse events and clinically significant changes/findings on labs and physical examination as well as incidence of re-operation for bleeding at the target bleeding site (TBS)

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Incidence of Hemostasis at 5 Minutes

    Number of subjects in each group that achieved hemostasis at pre-specified times after treatment

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Number of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis at 3 Minutes

    Measured: 3 minutes

  4. Number of Patients Achieving Hemostasis at 10 Minutes

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fibrocaps (fibrin sealant) and Gelatin sponge in people with Postoperative Hemorrhage, run by Mallinckrodt at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 22 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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: 0-10 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01256190, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Aug 2016.
