Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43866   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and the hemostasis efficacy of human plasma-derived fibrin sealant Grifols (FS Grifols) in parenchymous tissue surgery
    Protection of trial subjects
    For each investigative site, the Primary Part (II) started only after the enrollment of 4 subjects in the Preliminary Part (I). Further, all SAEs must have been expeditiously reported, whether or not considered attributable to the study treatment. When the investigator became aware of an SAE, a completed, signed, and dated SAE Report Form must have been submitted within 24 hours to the sponsor. After the initial report, all relevant information for SAE follow-up and the outcome must have also been supplied to the sponsor in a timely manner (within 3 days from its identification or within 24 hours for relevant new information) by means of the SAE Report Form or by other appropriate means such as data clarification forms issued by the sponsor or CRO. SAEs were assessed by the sponsor for expectedness assuming all subjects were treated with FS Grifols. If the event was considered serious, potentially related, and unexpected, treatment allocation would have been unblinded. Three possibilities resulting from the procedure of unblinding would have been considered: 1. If the study treatment administered to the subject was FS Grifols, the case would be reported in accordance to local regulations 2. If the study treatment administered to the subject was Surgicel, the event would be reassessed for expectedness according to the reference safety information and: a. If the event was still considered unexpected, it would have been reported in accordance with applicable requirements and guidelines. b. If the event was considered expected, it would not have been reported, unless specifically requested by local regulations

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 101 patients are screen failed and hence not enrolled.

    Blinding implementation details
    In both parts of the study, subjects were blinded to their study treatment; investigator was not blinded as this was not feasible due to the different nature of the 2 hemostatic treatments. Data from the Primary Part (II), including treatment assignment and accumulating efficacy data, were blinded from the sponsor, except for personnel from study drug supply groups. Treatment group assignments were made using sealed blinded randomization envelopes, only opened upon identification of the TBS.

    End point title
    Time to Hemostasis (TTH)
    End point description
    The TTH was measured from TStart at the TBS. The precise TTH was not observable in this study. However, if hemostasis was not achieved at an assessment time point but was achieved at the next time point, it could be inferred that the true TTH was between those 2 assessment time points. Therefore, TTH, although not observed directly, was ascertained as falling into the following hemostatic time categories (HTCs): ≤2 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC ≤2). >2 minutes to ≤3 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC >2 to ≤3). >3 minutes to ≤4 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC >3 to ≤4). >4 minutes to ≤5 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC >4 to ≤5). >5 minutes to ≤7 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC >5 to ≤7). >7 minutes to ≤10 minutes from TStart to hemostasis (HTC >7 to ≤10). In addition, 1 non-hemostatic time category (NHTC) was defined: Persistent bleeding at TBS beyond 10-minute observational period (more than 10 minutes from TStart) (NHTC >10)
    End point type
    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    The TTH would be the time passed from TStart to that last effective hemostatic time point.

    Prevalence of treatment failures
    End point description
    The following cases were considered treatment failures: •Persistent bleeding at the TBS beyond T4. •The event of breakthrough (brisk and forceful) bleeding from the TBS that jeopardized subject safety according to the investigator’s judgment at any moment during the 10 minute observational period and until TClosure. •Re-bleeding at the TBS after the assessment of the primary efficacy endpoint at T4 and until TClosure. •Use of alternative hemostatic treatments or maneuvers (other than the study treatment) at the TBS during the 10-minute observational period and until TClosure or use of study treatment at the TBS beyond T4 and until TClosure. Note: the reasons were not mutually exclusive

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Subjects were monitored from the time of the signature of the ICF to Post-Operative Week 6 ±4 days for assessment of AEs.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs were classified as treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) or non-treatment-emergent AEs (non-TEAEs) depending on the comparison of AE onset date/time with the start of study treatment. A TEAE was defined as an AE which occurred on or after the start of study treatment up to and including the date of the Week 6 Visit.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Jul 2012
    Protocol Version 2.0 was approved on 16 Jul 2012 and applied to all study centers in the US. Major changes included: • Removing age restriction of ≥3 years old to comply with Pediatric Research Equity Act Requirements. • Removing the weight restriction of <20 kg. • Modifying the Preliminary Part (I) of the study to randomize subjects into the FS Grifols or Surgicel treatment groups, providing the investigators an opportunity to become familiar with using the FS Grifols and Surgicel products in a variety of bleed types and to also generate data to corroborate the Primary Part (II) effect size assumptions. • Excluding mild bleeding subjects from the Preliminary Part (I) of the study to further increase the relevance of the experience gained in the Preliminary Part (I). In addition, the exclusion aligned the study to the intra-operative inclusion criteria of a TBS with moderate bleeding intensity. • Adjusting sample size calculations due to the change in the randomization ratio from 2:1 to 1:1 to FS Grifols or Surgical treatment groups. • Removing drip application of FS Grifols because the usage is unlikely for the designated surgery type. • Disallowing FS Grifols and Surgicel application after the primary endpoint assessment (T4) or at sites other than the TBS to reduce/minimize confounding factors in the assessment of efficacy and safety. • Reducing intraoperative vital signs measurements to alleviate the number of procedures performed in a short period without adding substantial benefit in terms of safety monitoring. • Adding a procedure for handling missing data for the primary efficacy endpoint. Missing hemostatic assessment would be treated as a failure or as not achieving hemostasis at TBS at T4. • Adding sensitivity analysis adjusted for the study center. • Addition of the testing method and multiplicity adjustment for secondary efficacy endpoints. • Adjusting blood sampling requirements for pediatric subjects <30 kg .
    24 Oct 2012
    Protocol Version 2.1 was approved on 24 Oct 2012 and applied to all study centers in the US. The major change included: • Addition of TStart2 and TEnd2 time points due to the FDA’s request to capture times of study drug re-application, if applicable.
    23 Aug 2013
    Protocol Version 3.0 was approved on 23 Aug 2013 and applied to all study centers in the US. Major changes included: • Clarification that females who were pregnant or nursing a child at baseline (within 24 hours prior to surgical procedure) were excluded from the study. Laboratory testing for determination of subject’s eligibility was to be performed locally at the study center. • Removing exclusion criterion #5 (Known [documented] previous exposure to thrombincontaining [bovine, human or recombinant] products) to allow testing of FS Grifols in subjects who were previously exposed to other thrombin products. The collection of safety information in those subjects would help determine the safety profile of FS Grifols in a broader subject population. • Clarification that the maximum total volume of FS Grifols allowed to be applied at the TBS would be approximately 12 mL (equivalent to the full content of 2 FS Grifols kits). Reducing the number of Post-Operative Visits by removing visits on Post-Operative Days 1 and 3. • Shifting the following procedures from Post-Operative Days 1 and 3 to Post-Operative Day 2: coagulation panel (INR and aPTT ratio), CBC, and serum clinical chemistry. • Clarification of laboratory panels for pediatric sampling. In pediatric subjects weighing <30 kg, pediatric tubes must have been utilized for CBC, blood coagulation parameters,and serum clinical chemistry. Virology and immunogenicity sampling was eliminated. In pediatric subjects weighing ≥30 kg, pediatric or adult tubes could be utilized for CBC, blood coagulation parameters, and serum clinical chemistry. Virology and immunogenicity sampling may or may not have been performed according to the judgement of the investigator.
    16 Jan 2014
    Protocol Version 4.0 was approved on 16 Jan 2014. The key update to this protocol amendment was the addition of approximately 6 study centers in 2 new countries, Hungary and Serbia. Major changes included: • Removing the Month 6 Visit for virus safety testing after study drug administration. Removing the Month 6 Visit shortened the observation period from 6 months to 3 months and also shortened the subject’s expected length of participation period from 7 months to 4 months. • Clarification that concurrent interventions on the pancreas, gall bladder, bile duct, or intestines were allowed.
    25 Mar 2014
    Protocol Version 4.1 was approved on 25 Mar 2014 and applied only to study centers in Hungary. This country-specific protocol amendment was implemented to include the exclusion criteria (listed below) required by Hungary’s national competent authority. • Have known (documented) history of thrombophilia. • Have known (documented) history of IgA deficiency
    16 Dec 2014
    Protocol Version 5.0 and Version 5.1 were approved on 16 Dec 2014. The key update to these protocol amendments were the addition of approximately 2 study centers in a new country, Russia. Version 5.0 applied to study centers in the US and Serbia; Version 5.1 applied to all study centers in Hungary. The major changes included: • Decreasing the Hgb levels criterion from ≥9.0 g/dL to ≥8.0 g/dL at baseline (within 24 hours prior to surgical procedure) to allow the enrollment of subjects with lower Hgb levels (eg, subjects receiving chemotherapy prior to surgery or pediatric subjects) that otherwise would be screening failures. Laboratory testing for determination of subject’s eligibility was performed locally at the investigative study center. Updating the FS Grifols shelf-life from 1 year to 2 years when stored at a temperature of ≤-18ºC (≤-0.40ºF). • Clarification that baseline central laboratory samples could be drawn shortly after anesthesia but before the start of surgery.
    31 Mar 2015
    Protocol Version 5.2 was approved on 31 Mar 2015 and applied only to study centers in Russia. The major change included: • Removal of pediatric subject participation in the study.
