About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter, Pivotal, Clinical Investigation Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of HEMOBLAST Bellows in Cardiothoracic, Abdominal, and Orthopedic Lower Extremity Surgeries

Conditions: Hemostasis
Being tested: HEMOBLAST Bellows, Absorbable gelatin sponge, USP with thrombin

What is being measured

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

Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis
The proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at 6 minutes post-hemostat application was calculated. Hemostasis was defined as a grade of 0 (None/Dry) on the Surface Bleeding Severity Scale, with additional grades, ranging from 1 (Minimal/Oozing) to 5 (Extreme/Gushing), considered a failure of hemostasis.
Measured: Intraoperative, 6 Minutes Post-Application

Secondary outcomes (2)

Product Preparation Time
The average time from the opening of the package to the product being ready to use, measured in minutes and seconds.
Measured: Intraoperative
Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis
The proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at 3 minutes post-hemostat application was calculated
Measured: Intraoperative, 3 Minutes Post-Application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HEMOBLAST Bellows and Absorbable gelatin sponge, USP with thrombin in people with Hemostasis, run by Biom'Up France SAS 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 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2018. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Nov 2018). 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 Hemostasis (time frame: Intraoperative, 6 Minutes Post-Application). 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 NCT02780869.

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 27 Dec 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
