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 Parenchymous Tissue Open Surgeries

This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols in patients undergoing open surgical procedures where bleeding may be present on parenchymous tissue (e.g., solid abdominal organs such as the liver). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Fibrin Sealant Grifols is not inferior to commercially-available oxidized cellulose pads (Surgicel®) in providing benefit in the time to hemostasis (i.e, the stoppage of bleeding). This study has a Preliminary Part (I) for study teams to become familiar with the application of Fibrin Sealant Grifols and to assess safety and a Primary Part (II) to assess the safety and efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols. In both parts of the study, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either Fibrin Sealant Grifols or Surgicel.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fibrin Sealant GrifolsBiological

    Combination of 3 mL fibrinogen and 3 mL thrombin, in separate syringes assembled on a syringe holder (6 mL of solution in total), applied topically to the target bleeding site.

  • Surgicel®Device

    Also called Fibrillar absorbable hemostat, Oxidized regenerated cellulose hemostat

    Up to four Surgicel® sheets applied to the target bleeding site according to Package Insert instructions and the surgeon's usual clinical practice.

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 (4)
  1. Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Three Minutes After Treatment Start

    Subjects achieving hemostasis at the target bleeding site by 3 minutes following the start of treatment without the occurrence of re-bleeding until the completion of surgical closure.

    Measured: From start of treatment until 3 minutes after treatment start

  2. Time to Hemostasis

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

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

  3. 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 2 minutes following start of study treatment
    • 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

  4. 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 Surgicel® in people with Parenchymous Tissue Surgical Bleeding, run by Instituto Grifols, S.A. at 33 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 8 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Serbia, Hungary, Russia. 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 8 Feb 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?
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 8 Feb 2017.
