About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Superiority Evaluation of Fibrin Patch as an Adjunct to Control Soft Tissue Bleeding During Abdominal, Retroperitoneal, Pelvic, and Thoracic Surgery
The effectiveness objective of this study is to evaluate whether Fibrin Patch is superior to SURGICEL™ as an adjunct to achieving hemostasis during surgical procedures involving soft tissue bleeding in abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal and (non-cardiac) thoracic surgery.
- Conditions
- Hemostasis
- Being tested
- Fibrin Pad, SURGICEL™
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fibrin PadDrug
Fibrin Patch is a sterile bio-absorbable combination product consisting of two constituent parts- a flexible matrix and a coating of two biological components (Human Fibrinogen and Human Thrombin).
SURGICEL™Device
Absorbable hemostat
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Experimental | Not described Receives: Drug: Fibrin Pad |
| 2 | Active comparator | SURGICEL™ Absorbable Hemostat Receives: Device: SURGICEL™ |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostatic Success
Proportion of success in achieving hemostasis at 4 minutes after randomization with no re-bleeding requiring treatment during a subsequent 6-minute observation period.
Measured: Intra-operative
Secondary outcomes (7)
Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostatic Success
The proportion of subjects achieving hemostatic success at 10 minutes following randomization
Measured: 10 minutes
Incidence of Treatment Failures
If hemostasis was not achieved within 4 minutes or if bleeding required additional intervention during the 6 minute observation period, the treatment was considered to be a failure.
Measured: Intra-operative
Incidence of Adverse Events That Are Potentially Related to Bleeding
The types of events that were potentially related to bleeding included operative hemorrhage and re-bleeding of the target bleeding site (TBS).
Measured: Intra-operative up to 1 month (+14 days)
Incidence of Adverse Events That Are Potentially Related to Thrombotic Events
The types of events that were potentially related to thrombotic events included deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
Measured: Intra-operative up to 1 month (+14 days)
Incidence of Adverse Events Potentially Related to Transfusion Exposure
The types of events that were potentially related to transfusion exposure could have include hypocalcemia.
Measured: Intra-operative up to 1 month (+14 days)
Incidence of Re-treatment
The outcome measure assess if re-treatment was done after release of manual compression at 4-minutes for subjects not achieving hemostatic success or if re-treatment was done during the 6-minute observation period.
In the SURGICEL group, 18 subjects had initial hemostatic success at 4 minutes, but 2 of the 18 subjects were re-treated for re-bleeding. In the SURGICEL group, 12 subjects were not hemostatic at 4-minutes and had a re-treatment.
Measured: Intra-operative
Incidence of Adverse Events
Measured: 30 days (+14 days)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Fibrin Pad and SURGICEL™ in people with Hemostasis, run by Ethicon, Inc. at 11 sites in United States.
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 3 inclusion and 9 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 11 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 11 Sep 2014). 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 Hemostatic Success (time frame: Intra-operative). 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 NCT00658723, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 11 Sep 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
