About this study

Official title: A Prospective, RCT Evaluating the Safety and Hemostatic Effectiveness of SURGICEL Powder in Controlling Mild or Moderate Parenchymal or Soft Tissue Intraoperative Bleeding During Surgery in Chinese Adult Subjects

This is a single blind, randomized, prospective study comparing SURGICEL Powder with SURGICEL Original (control arm) as an adjunct to achieve hemostasis in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective during surgery (open, laparoscopic, or thoracoscopic) in Chinese adult subjects.

Read the detailed description

This is a single blind, randomized, prospective study comparing SURGICEL Powder with SURGICEL Original (control arm) as an adjunct to achieve hemostasis in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective during surgery (open, laparoscopic, or thoracoscopic) in Chinese adult subjects.

After application of either SURGICEL Powder or SURGICEL Original, the target bleeding site (TBS) will be assessed for hemostasis (no detectable bleeding) at 3, 5, and 10 minutes from application and prior to initiation of final fascial closure on open surgery or port site closure in laparoscopic or thoracoscopic procedures.

All enrolled subjects will be observed post-operatively through discharge and followed up at 30 days (+14 days) and at 6 months (+/-30 days) post-surgery via phone call or office visit.

What participants receive

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

  • SURGICEL PowderDevice

    Surgeon to perform surgical procedure according to standard of care. If randomized to SURGICEL Powder, the product will be be applied to the first appropriate TBS with mild or moderate bleeding in parenchyma or soft tissue where conventional methods of control (i.e. suture, ligature, cautery) are ineffective or impractical.

  • SURGICEL OriginalDevice

    Surgeon to perform surgical procedure according to standard of care. If randomized to SURGICEL Original, the product will be be applied to the first appropriate TBS with mild or moderate bleeding in parenchyma or soft tissue where conventional methods of control (i.e. suture, ligature, cautery) are ineffective or impractical.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemostatic Success at 5 Minutes

    Percentage of subjects achieving hemostatic success at 5 minutes following study product application with no rebleeding requiring additional treatment at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From product application to 5 minutes following product application

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hemostatic Success at 3 Minutes

    Percentage of subjects achieving hemostatic success at 3 minutes following study product application with no rebleeding requiring additional treatment at the TBS any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From product application to 3 minutes following product application

  2. Hemostatic Success at 10 Minutes

    Percentage of subjects achieving hemostatic success at 10 minutes following study product application with no rebleeding requiring additional treatment at the TBS any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From product application to 10 minutes following product application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SURGICEL Powder and SURGICEL Original in people with Hemorrhage, run by Ethicon, LLC at 6 sites in China.

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 12 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 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2020). 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?

Hemostatic Success at 5 Minutes (time frame: From product application to 5 minutes following product 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 8 Jul 2021.
