4.Must have hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8.0 g/dL at Baseline.
5.Require an elective (non-emergency), open (non-laparoscopic) hepatic resection (anatomic or non-anatomic resections of at least one anatomical hepatic segment, or equivalent tissue volume).
-Where Target Bleeding Site is identified on the cut raw liver surface (resection area).
6.Intra-operative inclusion criteria: a TBS can be identified according to the investigator’s judgment, and
-The TBS has moderate bleeding according to the investigator’s judgment.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Require hepatic resection due to trauma.
2.Have an infection in the anatomic surgical area.
3.Have a history of severe (e.g. anaphylactic) reactions to blood or to any blood-derived (human or animal) product.
4.Have previous known sensitivity to any FS Grifols component or any Surgicelīĸ component.
5.(This exclusion criterion is removed).
6.Are unlikely to adhere to the protocol requirements, or to be cooperative during the study conduct.
7.Are females who are pregnant or nursing a child at Baseline.
8.Are receiving an organ transplant during the same surgical procedure.
9.Are undergoing another concurrent major surgical intervention beyond the liver.
10.Are currently participating or have participated in another clinical study in the context of which have received an investigational drug or device within 3 months from the screening visit, or are scheduled to participate during the course of this study.
11.Have undergone a therapeutic surgical procedure within 30 days from the screening visit.
12.Were previously enrolled in clinical trials with FS Grifols.
13.Intra-operative exclusion criteria:
-A TBS cannot be identified according to the investigator’s judgment.
-The TBS has a mild or severe bleeding according to the investigator’s judgment.
-Occurrence of major intraoperative complications that require 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.
-Radiofrequency precoagulation of the liver resection surface, except focal use of radiofrequency as primary haemostatic treatment.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Proportion of subjects achieving haemostasis at the TBS by four (4) minutes after the start of treatment application. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Four (4) minutes after the start of treatment application (T4). |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1.Time to hemostasis (TTH)
TTH is measured from the start of treatment application at the TBS to achievement of hemostasis at that site, or to the end of the 10-minute observational period when hemostasis has not yet been achieved. This secondary efficacy endpoint will be quantified in minutes.
2.Cumulative proportion of subject achieving hemostasis at the TBS at each of the defined time points.
3.Prevalence of treatment failures. The following cases will be considered as treatment failures:
-In a case of persistent bleeding at the TBS beyond the 4-minute timepoint.
-In the event of breakthrough (brisk and forceful) bleeding at the TBS that jeopardizes subject safety, according to the investigator’s judgment, at any moment during the 10-minute observational period and until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field containing the TBS.
-In case of re-bleeding at the TBS after the assessment of the primary efficacy endpoint at T4 and until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field containing the TBS.
-Use of alternative hemostatic treatments or maneuvers (other than the study treatment) at the TBS during the 10-minute observational period and until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field, or use of allocated study treatment at the TBS beyond the assessment of the primary efficacy endpoint at T4 and until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field containing the TBS.

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
