Summary
This purpose of this clinical trial was to study the safety and efficacy of Topical Thrombin (Human) Grifols as an add-on treatment to help stop bleeding during vascular, liver, soft tissue, and spinal surgical procedures.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Pre-operative (at Baseline Assessments Visit) hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥9.0 g/dL (deciliter)
- Pre-operative (at Baseline Assessments Visit) fibrinogen level ≥150 mg/dL (functional method).
- Required one of the following procedures:
- An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic; non- endovascular) surgical procedure involving a native artery-graft end-to-side proximal anastomosis utilizing coated or uncoated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft (IG1202-A).
- An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic) hepatic resection (anatomic and non-anatomic resections of at least one anatomical hepatic segment or equivalent tissue volume) (IG-1202-B).
- An elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic), surgical procedure involving soft (non-parenchymous) tissue (IG1202-C).
- An elective (non-emergency), spinal surgical procedure in which the epidural venous plexus was exposed (IG1202-D).
- A target bleeding site (TBS) was identified according to the Investigator's judgment, and the TBS had mild or moderate bleeding according to the Investigator's judgment.
Exclusion Criteria
- Required surgical procedure due to trauma (except for spinal surgery).
- Infection in the anatomic surgical area.
- History of severe (e.g. anaphylactic) reactions to blood or to any blood-derived (human or animal) product.
- Previous known sensitivity to any Topical Thrombin (Human) Grifols component, any Bovine Thrombin JMI component, porcine collagen, and heparin or protamine (vascular surgery only) component.
- Received an organ transplant.
- Underwent another concurrent major surgical intervention beyond the liver (applied to hepatic surgery [IG1202-B] only; concurrent interventions on the pancreas, gall bladder, bile duct, or intestines were allowed).
- Underwent a re-operative procedure, which was defined as a second, or successive, surgical procedure on the same anatomic location.
- Underwent other vascular procedures during the same surgical session (applied to vascular surgery [IG1202-A] only; stenting and/or endarterectomy of the same artery were allowed).
- Underwent a therapeutic surgical procedure within 30 days from screening (diagnostic procedures were allowed).
- Previously included in this trial (i.e. each subject could only be enrolled once in this study).
- TBS could not be identified according to the investigator's judgment.
- TBS had a severe bleeding according to the Investigator's judgment.
- Occurrence of major intra-operative complications that required resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure.
- Application of any topical haemostatic material on the resection surface of the liver prior to application of the study treatment (applied to hepatic surgery [IG1202-B] only).
- Radiofrequency precoagulation of the liver resection surface, except focal use of radiofrequency as primary haemostatic treatment (applied to hepatic surgery [IG1202-B] only).
- Intra-operative change in planned surgical procedure which resulted in subject no longer meeting preoperative inclusion and/or exclusion criteria.
- Application of any topical haemostatic material on the cut soft tissue surface prior to application of the study treatment (applied to soft tissue surgery [IG1202-C] only).
