  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Are able and willing to provide written informed consent to participate in this study, confirmed by signing the informed consent documents
  • Adult males and females ≥18 years of age
  • Female subjects must be post-menopausal. Post-menopausal status is defined as any of the following: natural menopause with menses >1 year ago; radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago; chemotherapy induced menopause with 1 year interval since last menses

  • Subject is undergoing a planned open liver resection
  • Male subjects must be willing and able to use adequate contraception from enrollment through to the 30 day follow-up visit
  • During the surgery, the subject presents an identified target bleeding site (TBS) with oozing, mild or moderate bleeding, which conventional surgical techniques are insufficient to control and would otherwise be a candidate for standard haemostats
  • During the surgery, subject presents no intraoperative complications, other than bleeding, that may interfere with study assessments as judged by the investigator

Who cannot join

  • Subject is undergoing emergency surgical procedure
  • Recipient of a liver transplant
  • Females of child-bearing potential
  • Active infection at the time of the liver resection
  • International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 2.0 or APTT ratio > 2.0 at screening
  • Fibrinogen level < 1.5g/L at screening
Show all 15Show fewer
  • History of thromboembolic disease and/or thrombophilia
  • Any other disease or condition that may affect normal blood clotting, for example thrombocytopenia, as judged by the investigator
  • A known history of anaphylaxis or allergic reaction to human albumin, PEGylated proteins, yeast or moulds, porcine products or other components in the IMP
  • Participation in another investigational drug or device research study within 30 days before and after enrolment in the current study
  • Current known or suspected alcohol and/or drug abuse or dependence at the time of screening
  • Any concurrent medical, surgical, or psychiatric condition that may, in the investigator's opinion, affect the subject's willingness or ability to meet all study requirements during the study duration
  • During the surgery, subject presents severe bleeding where use of a topical haemostat would be inappropriate
  • Subject is taking any prohibited medications
  • BMI at screening of ≥35

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of PeproStat

    Incidence, severity, and relatedness of adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

    Measured: within 30 days after surgery and study treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assessment of efficacy of PeproStat in achieving haemostasis in open liver resection surgery

    Percentages of subjects who achieve haemostasis within 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes following application for the first five subjects and at 1, 3, 5, 7 \& 10 minutes following application in subsequent subjects.

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Assessment of efficacy of PeproStat in achieving haemostasis in open liver resection surgery

    Mean time to haemostasis.

    Measured: During surgery

  3. Assessment of efficacy of PeproStat in achieving haemostasis in open liver resection surgery

    Percentage of subjects who do not achieve haemostasis within 10 minutes.

    Measured: During surgery

  4. Assessment of efficacy of PeproStat in achieving haemostasis in open liver resection surgery

    Administered dose of PeproStat determined by number of sponges administered to a single bleeding site.

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PeproStat in people with Hemorrhage, run by Haemostatix Ltd at 4 sites in United Kingdom.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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 21 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety of PeproStat (time frame: within 30 days after surgery and study treatment). 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 21 Oct 2015.
