Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Fibrin Sealant Grifols provides a measurable benefit when compared to hemostasis achieved through conventional surgical technique (suture) and by standard hemostatic action, such as mechanical pressure through manual compression. This study has a Preliminary Part (I) in which all subjects are treated with Fibrin Sealant Grifols and a Primary Part (II) in which subjects are randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either Fibrin Sealant Grifols or manual compression.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8.0 g/dL at Baseline (within 24 hours prior to surgical procedure).
  • •Require elective (non-emergency), primary, open (non-laparoscopic; non-endovascular) peripheral vascular surgery.
  • •Require one of the following peripheral vascular procedures involving proximal end-to-side arterial anastomosis utilizing coated or uncoated Polytetrafluoroethylene grafts: a) Femoral-femoral bypass grafting, b) Femoral-popliteal bypass grafting, c) Femoral-distal bypass grafting, d) Ilio-iliac bypass grafting, e) Ilio-femoral bypass grafting, f) Ilio-popliteal bypass grafting, g) Aorto-iliac bypass grafting, h) Aorto-femoral bypass grafting, i)Axillo-femoral bypass grafting, and j) Upper extremity vascular access for hemodialysis.
  • •A target bleeding site can be identified.
  • •Target bleeding site has moderate arterial bleeding.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Undergoing a re-operative procedure.
  • •Undergoing other vascular procedures during the same surgical session (stenting and/or endarterectomy of the same artery are allowed).
  • •Have an infection in the anatomic surgical area.
  • •Have a history of severe (e.g. anaphylactic) reactions to blood or to any blood-derived product.
  • •Have previous known sensitivity to any Fibrin Sealant Grifols, heparin, or protamine component.
  • •Females who are pregnant or nursing a child at Baseline (within 24 hours prior to surgical procedure).
  • •Have undergone a therapeutic surgical procedure within 30 days from the screening visit.
  • •Target bleeding site cannot be identified.
  • •Target bleeding site has mild or severe arterial bleeding.
  • •Occurrence of major intraoperative complications that require resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure.
  • •Intraoperative change in planned surgical procedure, which results in subject no longer meeting preoperative inclusion and/or exclusion criteria.

Arms & Interventions

Fibrin Sealant Grifols

Experimental

Fibrin Sealant Grifols consisting of 3 mL fibrinogen and 3 mL thrombin in separate syringes assembled on a syringe holder (6 mL of solution in total).

Intervention: Fibrin Sealant Grifols (Biological)

Manual Compression

Active Comparator

Direct manual compression of target bleeding site with gauze/laparotomy pads.

Intervention: Manual Compression (Procedure)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Proportion of Subjects Achieving Hemostasis by Four Minutes After Treatment Start

Time Frame: From start of treatment until 4 minutes after treatment start

Subjects achieving hemostasis at the target bleeding site by 4 minutes following the start of treatment without the occurrence of re-bleeding until the completion of surgical closure.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time to Hemostasis (TTH)(From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start)
  • Cumulative Proportion of Subjects Having Achieved Hemostasis at the Target Bleeding Site by Specified Time Points(From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start)
  • Prevalence of Treatment Failures(From start of treatment until 10 minutes after treatment start)
