About this study
A prospective randomized open-label study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the pliable and absorbable bone hemostats (BoneSeal®) on the reduction of bleeding from the sternal bone marrow in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.
Read the detailed description
A prospective randomized open-label study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the pliable and absorbable bone hemostats (BoneSeal®) composed of synthetic materials and hydroxyapatite on the reduction of bleeding from the sternal bone marrow in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, with or without valve replacement or repair. This product will be compared to the similar, currently used product, Ostene®. Bleeding will be evaluated qualitatively by the surgeon as well as quantitatively by comparing pre- and post-operative hemoglobin levels, intra-operative and post-operative blood product usage, and post-operative chest tube output. A 30 day follow-up will be conducted to evaluate the patient's tolerance of the product, possible complications, or infection. Additionally, surgeons will be asked to comment on the ease of use of the product.
- Conditions
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
- Being tested
- BoneSeal, Ostene
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
BoneSealDevice
BoneSeal® is an absorbable synthetic bone hemostats that also contains of PLA, PEG and hydroxyapatite which supports bone re-growth. Product code MTJ. FDA number K142348.
OsteneDevice
OSTENE is a synthetic, biodissolvable implant material that, provides immediate bone hemostasis, can be used on all bleeding bone surfaces, is completely biocompatible and water-soluble polymer, is a mechanical barrier that does not act biochemically.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ostene | Active comparator | Application of Ostene onto cut sternal site for hemostasis. Receives: Device: Ostene |
| BoneSeal | Experimental | Application of BoneSeal onto cut sternal site for hemostasis. Receives: Device: BoneSeal |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ease of Use
Qualitative determination of product application and hemostatic qualities graded by the surgeon using a scale from 1-5 with 1 being very easy and 5 being very difficult
Measured: The time frame for assessing the ease of product application is the short interval a the conclusion of the operation when we are applying the topical hemostatic agent to the sternal bone marrow. In other words at the end of the case, this takes <10 min.
Number of Participants Experiencing Re-bleed
Occurrence of re-bleeding during the operation will be noted. Reapplication of product will not occur.
Measured: 0-3 hours
Hemoglobin
Postoperative hemoglobin as compared to baseline preoperative readings
Measured: Pre-operative (baseline) and Post-operative (3-6 hours after baseline)
Intra-operative Blood Units
Units of blood/blood products transfused during surgery
Measured: 0-3 hours
Surgical Site Drainage
Post-operative chest tube output
Measured: 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours
Number of Participants With Post Operative Complications Related to the Device
Sternal wound infection or other complications related to the device or its use within 30 days post procedure
Measured: 30 days
Number of Participants Requiring Use of Another Product During Surgery
The surgeon's determination and need for the use of another product (FloSeal) during surgery to stop bleeding or re-bleed at the sternum.
Measured: During surgery, up to 3 hours
End of Surgery Bleeding
Qualitative determination of of the amount of bleeding at the sternum at the end of surgery by the surgeon using a scale from 1-5 with 1 none and 5 being perfuse
Measured: End of surgery (closure of the chest)
Post-operative Blood Units
Units of blood/blood products transfused within 24 hours post surgery
Measured: 3-24 hours
Number of Participants With Infection
The presence of an infection at the sternum at any time up to 30 days post surgery.
Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing BoneSeal and Ostene in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site 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 5 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 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site 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 22 Sep 2020). 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?
Ease of Use (time frame: The time frame for assessing the ease of product application is the short interval a the conclusion of the operation when we are applying the topical hemostatic agent to the sternal bone marrow. In other words at the end of the case, this takes <10 min.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03085017, which also lists 13 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 8 Jun 2021.
