Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TachoSil®Active comparatorTachoSil® absorbable patches, applied topically, once, intraoperatively to stop bleeding. The number of patches used was determined by the surgeon based on the size of the wound. If bleeding did not stop after 5 minutes treatment was repeated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 3 Minutes

    3 Minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.

    Measured: within 3 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 5 Minutes

    3, 4 and 5 minutes after the patch was applied to the target bleeding area, the area was observed to see if the bleeding stopped.

    Measured: within 5 minutes

  2. Time to Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site

    The target bleeding area was observed at 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 minutes after the patch was applied to see if the bleeding stopped, and time in minutes until bleeding stopped was recorded.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TachoSil® and Surgicel® Original in people with Hemorrhage, run by Takeda at 17 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 4 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 25 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 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 25 Nov 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Intraoperative Hemostasis at Target Bleeding Site Within 3 Minutes (time frame: within 3 minutes). 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 NCT01192022, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Nov 2015.
