  • Subjects who are known, current alcohol and/or drug abusers;
  • Subjects with any pre-operative findings identified by the surgeon that may preclude conduct of the study procedure.
  • Intra-operative:
  • Subjects with any intra-operative findings identified by the surgeon that may preclude the use of study product;
  • Subject with TBS in an actively infected field [Class III Contaminated or Class IV Dirty or Infected (see Appendix 2 in in Section 15.2)];
  • TBS is on arteries or veins where application of SURGICEL Powder would present a risk of introducing the study product into an open blood vessel;
  • Major arterial or venous bleeding or major defects in arteries and veins;
  • TBS where silver nitrate or any other escharotic chemicals have been applied;
  • TBS is in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, or areas of bony confine, the spinal cord, or optic nerve and chiasm;

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Haemostatic Effectiveness of SURGICEL® Powder, in Mild or Moderate Parenchymal or Soft Tissue Bleeding During General, Gynaecological, Urological, and Cardiothoracic Surgery

This is a prospective, single arm, multicentre, multispecialty, post market, clinical study evaluating SURGICEL Powder as an adjunct to achieve haemostasis (control bleeding) when conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective during surgery (open, laparoscopic or thoracoscopic) in adult subjects (18 years or older).

After application of SURGICEL Powder, the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) will be assessed for haemostasis (no detectable bleeding) at 3, 5, and 10 minutes from application and prior to initiation of closure.

All enrolled subjects will be followed post-operatively through discharge and again at 30 days and 6 months post-surgery via phone call or office visit.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, prospective, single arm, multicentre, multispecialty, post-marketing clinical study evaluating SURGICEL Powder as an adjunct to achieve haemostasis in the control of capillary, venous, and small arterial haemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective during surgery (open, laparoscopic or thoracoscopic) in adult subjects (18 years or older). Prospective subjects will be informed about the nature of the research, given the informed consent form (ICF) to read, and, if he/she understands the content, will be asked to provide consent by signing the ICF.

Screening and enrolment will continue until at least 100 evaluable subjects from approximately eight (8) investigational sites, with an appropriate mild or moderate Target Bleeding Site (TBS) are included into the study. The TBS will be the only region evaluated for the primary endpoint and all secondary effectiveness endpoints.

All enrolled subjects will be followed post-operatively through discharge, and via phone call or office visit at 30 days (+14 days) post-surgery. In addition, all enrolled subjects will receive a 6-month (+/-30 days) follow-up phone call or office visit to assess the occurrence of any serious adverse event (SAE) requiring surgical intervention and assessed as possibly related or related to the study treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Haemostatic Success at 5 Minutes

    Proportion of subjects achieving haemostatic success at 5 minutes following application of SURGICEL Powder with no rebleeding requiring additional treatment at the Target Bleeding Site (TBS) any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From application of SURGICEL Powder to 5 minutes after application

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Haemostatic Success at 3 Minutes

    Proportion of subjects achieving haemostatic success at 3 minutes following application of SURGICEL Powder with no rebleeding requiring additional treatment at the TBS any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From application of SURGICEL Powder to 3 minutes after application

  2. Haemostatic Success at 10 Minutes

    Proportion of subjects achieving haemostatic success at 10 minutes following the application of SURGICEL Powder with no rebleeding that requires additional treatment at the TBS any time prior to initiation of final fascial closure

    Measured: From application of SURGICEL Powder to 10 minutes after application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SURGICEL Powder in people with Hemorrhage, run by Ethicon, Inc. at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 26 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United Kingdom, Belgium. 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 Dec 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?

Haemostatic Success at 5 Minutes (time frame: From application of SURGICEL Powder to 5 minutes after 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 NCT03762200, 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?
