Summary

This study compares two products used to stop mild to moderate bleeding during surgery: TachoSil and Surgicel. About 116 adults having open abdominal, chest, or pelvic surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two. The main goal is to see which one stops bleeding faster, within 3 minutes of application.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TachoSil (a patch that helps stop bleeding) and Surgicel (a gauze-like material that helps stop bleeding)
What this could lead to
If TachoSil works better, it could give surgeons a more effective option to quickly stop bleeding during operations.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small phase 3 trial (116 people) comparing two existing products, so any difference may be small or not apply to all surgeries. Both products are already used, so no major new risks are expected.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Elective open abdominal, retroperitoneal, pelvic, or thoracic surgery. Elective transplant surgery except for liver or heart transplants is included. 2. The participant has a need for secondary hemostatic study intervention at the TBS with mild to moderate bleeding Grade 1 and Grade 2 according to the VIBe Scale. 3. Presence of an appropriate mild to moderate bleeding soft tissue TBS identified intra-operatively by the surgeon. 4. The TBS size \< 21 cm2/3.3 in2. 5. Ability to firmly press study intervention at TBS until 3 minutes after randomization. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants undergoing cardiovascular, hepatic, and laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. 2. Congenital or acquired disorders of coagulation. 3. Diseases requiring constant use of any anticoagulant drugs that cannot be safely washed out prior to randomization. 4. Screening Hemoglobin \< 9 mg/dL, platelets \< 75 × 103/µL, and/or international normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.5. 5. Acute major bleeding during surgery. 6. Participant with TBS in an actively infected field. 7. Target bleeding site is from large defects in arteries or veins where the injured vascular wall requires repair with maintenance of vessel patency. 8. Target bleeding site with major arterial bleeding requiring suture or mechanical ligation. 9. Bleeding site is in, around, or in proximity to foramina in bone, or areas of bony confine. 10. Participants with Grade '0', '3', and '4' bleeding at TBS according to VIBe Scale.
