Seraseal for Endoscopic Hemostasis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with active gastrointestinal bleeding can be included. 5ml of SerasealTM/Fastact (Wortham Laboratories, Chattanooga, USA), a CE-certified medical product for in human intraoperative use as hemostatic agent, is topically applied via catheters to the bleeding site. In group A, Seraseal is applied as initial method for hemostasis. In group B, Seraseal is applied after an initial failure of the institutional standard method. Homeostatic success is determined by 5 min without bleeding at gastrointestinal site. after application of Seraseal.

Clinical Trial Description

Following endoscopic confirmation of a bleeding, 2,5-5ml of liquid Seraseal / Fastact, certified for intraoperative use in humans (CE No 0653), is topically applied to the bleeding site. The delivery device consisted of a 5ml syringe containing Seraseal plugged to standard delivery catheters, either ERCP catheters or dye spraying catheters (Boston Scientific, USA) that are inserted via the working channel of the endoscope. Once the bleeding is identified at endoscopy, the delivery catheter is inserted through the endoscope and positioned toward the lesion, leaving 1-2 cm between the bleeding site and the catheter tip. Seraseal is then delivered in short spray bursts or direct shots (for 1-2 seconds) until hemostasis is confirmed. A maximum of 5ml of Seraseal is administered in each patient. Homeostatic success is determined by 5 min without bleeding at gastrointestinal site. after application of Seraseal.

Two groups are formed for analysis of this proof of concept study:

In group A, Seraseal is applied as initial method for hemostasis. If successful, the bleeding site is then observed for 5 minutes. If bleeding remains active or recurs, the institutional standard of care for hemostasis is applied.

In group B, Seraseal is applied as rescue therapy after an initial failure of the institutional standard method. If Seraseal is successful, the bleeding site is then observed for 5 minutes. If the bleeding remains active or recurs after Seraseal, alternative methods of hemostasis will be applied. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
