About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter, Post-Market Clinical Study Evaluating the Performance of HEMOBLAST Bellows Compared to FLOSEAL Hemostatic Matrix in Cardiothoracic Operations

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of HEMOBLAST™ compared to FLOSEAL in cardiothoracic operations.

Read the detailed description

A maximum of 104 subjects will be enrolled across a maximum of 5 study sites in the United States.

The estimated duration of the study is approximately 8 months from the time of first subject enrollment to the last subject enrollment. Enrollment occurs intraoperatively after confirmation of the intraoperative eligibility criteria. Subjects will undergo intraoperative performance assessments and then will be discontinued from the study after completion of the intraoperative visit.

Being tested
HEMOBLAST Bellows, FLOSEAL

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HEMOBLAST BellowsDevice

    The HEMOBLAST™ Bellows hemostatic agent consists of a bellows pre-loaded with 1.65g of powder composed of collagen, chondroitin sulfate, and thrombin (1500 IU). HEMOBLAST™ Bellows is indicated in surgical procedures as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of minimal, mild, and moderate bleeding by conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical, except in neurosurgical, ophthalmic, and urological procedures.

  • FLOSEALDevice

    The FLOSEAL Matrix consists of a bovine-derived Gelatin Matrix component, a human-derived Thrombin component, applicator tips, and several mixing accessories. FLOSEAL is indicated in surgical procedures (other than ophthalmic) as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of bleeding by ligature or conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3 Minute Hemostasis - Hemostatic Success (Yes/no) at 3 Minutes

    The primary endpoint of this study is the superiority of HEMOBLAST™ relative to FLOSEAL for the proportion of subjects reaching hemostasis within 3 minutes.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 5 Minute Hemostasis - Hemostatic Success (Yes/no) at 5 Minutes

    The secondary endpoint of this study is non-inferiority of HEMOBLAST™ relative to FLOSEAL for the proportion of subjects reaching hemostasis within 5 minutes.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HEMOBLAST Bellows and FLOSEAL in people with Cardiothoracic Surgery, run by Biom'Up France SAS at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2020. 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 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 13 Jan 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?

3 Minute Hemostasis - Hemostatic Success (Yes/no) at 3 Minutes (time frame: Intraoperative). 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 NCT03725098, 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?
