About this study

Official title: 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 Peripheral Vascular Surgery

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Fibrin Sealant Grifols provides a measurable benefit when compared to hemostasis achieved through conventional surgical technique (suture) and by standard hemostatic action, such as mechanical pressure through manual compression. This study has a Preliminary Part (I) in which all subjects are treated with Fibrin Sealant Grifols and a Primary Part (II) in which subjects are randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either Fibrin Sealant Grifols or manual compression.

Being tested
Fibrin Sealant Grifols, Manual Compression

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Four 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.

    Measured: From start of treatment until 4 minutes after treatment start

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Hemostasis (TTH)

    Time in minutes for achievement of hemostasis at the target bleeding site measured from the start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start.

    In the Fibrin Sealant Grifols treatment group, the median TTH was calculated based on the estimated survival function S(t), and it is the smallest time at which S(t) is at or below 50%. The 95% CI for the median TTH, on the other hand, was calculated based on the CI for the survival function S(t). The 95% CI for the median TTH was the set of all time points for which the 95% CI of the survival function contains 0.5 (since median is the 50% percentile). Sometimes, the confidence limits for the median cannot be estimated. In our case, the hemostasis was assessed on a discrete scale, and it happened that for all the time points assessed none of the 95% CI of the survival function S(t) contained 0.5. As a result, neither the lower nor the upper limit could be estimated.

    All calculations were performed using SAS PROC LIFETEST

    Measured: From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start

  2. Cumulative Proportion of Subjects Having Achieved Hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site by Specified Time Points

    Cumulative proportion of subjects having achieved hemostasis by each of the following time points:

    • At 5 minutes following start of study treatment
    • At 7 minutes following start of study treatment
    • At 10 minutes following start of study treatment

    Measured: From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start

  3. Prevalence of Treatment Failures

    Protocol-defined bleeding at the target bleeding site after the start of treatment or the use of alternative hemostatic treatments (with exception of reversal of heparin) or maneuvers at the target bleeding site after the start of treatment.

    Measured: From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fibrin Sealant Grifols and Manual Compression in people with Vascular Surgical Bleeding, run by Instituto Grifols, S.A. at 38 sites in 4 countries.

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 11 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 6 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 38 sites in United States, Russia, Hungary, Serbia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2017). 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?

Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Four Minutes After Treatment Start (time frame: From start of treatment until 4 minutes after treatment start). 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 NCT01662856, 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 6 Apr 2017.
