Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm the superiority of Fibrocaps plus gelatin sponge, as compared to gelatin sponge alone, for achieving hemostasis.

The investigational products were used in participants with mild to moderate surgical bleeding during spine, liver, vascular or soft tissue surgery, when control of mild to moderate bleeding by standard surgical techniques is ineffective and/or impractical.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to Hemostasis (TTH) for Participants Receiving Spinal Surgery The measurement of TTH begins at t=0, which is the time the study product is applied to the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) and ends when hemostasis is achieved or 5-minutes, whichever occurs first, based on data collected by surgery type and treatment. Within 5 minutes
Primary Time to Hemostasis (TTH) for Participants Receiving Vascular Surgery The measurement of TTH begins at t=0, which is the time the study product is applied to the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) and ends when hemostasis is achieved or 5-minutes, whichever occurs first, based on data collected by surgery type and treatment. Within 5 minutes
Primary Time to Hemostasis (TTH) for Participants Receiving Hepatic Resection The measurement of TTH begins at t=0, which is the time the study product is applied to the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) and ends when hemostasis is achieved or 5-minutes, whichever occurs first, based on data collected by surgery type and treatment. Within 5 minutes
Primary Time to Hemostasis (TTH) for Participants Receiving Soft Tissue Dissection The measurement of TTH begins at t=0, which is the time the study product is applied to the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) and ends when hemostasis is achieved or 5-minutes, whichever occurs first, based on data collected by surgery type and treatment. Within 5 minutes
Secondary Restricted Mean TTH Restricted mean TTH over 5 minutes is computed using Irwin's estimator, based on data collected by surgery type and treatment. Within 5 minutes
Secondary Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (including clinically significant changes in laboratory values or other clinical tests) experienced by a participant administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of causal relationship with the treatment. A TEAE is any adverse event reported on the case report form that occurs after start of treatment or any adverse event with a missing start date. Within 29 days
Secondary Number of Participants Who Require Alternative Hemostatic Agents at 5 Minutes If hemostasis is not achieved within 5 minutes, the treatment is considered to have failed, and the surgeon is to implement additional hemostatic measures. At 5 minutes
Secondary Number of Participants Who Required Red Blood Cells Red blood cells are defined as including World Health Organization (WHO) DRUG terms of "Blood cells, packed human", "Blood, whole", "Red blood cells", "Red blood cells, concentrated" and "Red blood cells, leucocyte depleted".
