4. Conclusions
6. The Surgeon: “Hemostasis”
•
Clinical Problem of Surgical Bleeding:
•
•
•
•
Mild to moderate: small to medium sized vessels;
oozing, large surface area; desire to avoid cautery
Widespread usage of novel anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents creates difficult to control bleeding
Use of topical hemostats since the mid
1940s, but were made by surgeons for each
patient
Most of the available hemostats must be
thawed and/or reconstituted, which delays
the time from shelf to patient

13. Fibrocaps Clinical Development Plan
• Mild-Moderate surgical bleeding with a broad label
claim that allows it to be used in any type of surgery
• Defined regulatory pathway
• FIH study in liver surgery (2009-2010)
• Safety, dosing, method of application and efficacy
• Phase 2 in 3 different surgical indications (2011)
• Safety data to enable Phase 3 (80-100 subjects treated)
• Efficacy to support “Go” decision for Phase 3
• Phase 3 randomized, controlled trial in 4 indications
• 4 independently-powered trials running in parallel
• Efficacy and safety that support US and EU filings and
proposed label text
14. FC-002 US & FC-002 NL:
Phase 2 Randomized, Controlled Trials
of Fibrocaps in Surgical Bleeding
15. FC-002 (US & NL) Study Design
•
Objective: Demonstrate Safety and Efficacy in 80-100 Treated
Subjects with Mild to Moderate Surgical Bleeding to Enable Phase 3
•
Design: Randomized (2:1), single-blind, controlled
•
Treatments: Fibrocaps + Gelatin vs. Gelatin alone
– Up to 3 vials of Fibrocaps per patient
•
Efficacy Endpoints:
1°: Mean Time to Hemostasis (TTH) of Fibrocaps plus gelatin sponge, as
compared to gelatin sponge alone
2°: Proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at 3, 5 and 10 min
•
Safety:
•
•
•
Overall safety as determined by AEs, clinical labs and physical exams
Proportion of subjects developing anti-thrombin antibodies
Sites: 8 in the US and 5 in the NL

28. Phase 2 Safety Summary
• Safety Monitoring Committee reviewed safety
twice during the study and supported
continuation of the trials
• AE profiles were similar across studies and
across treatment groups
• No neutralizing anti-thrombin antibodies
• AE profile is consistent with the surgical
population and similar to published fibrin
sealant and thrombin trials
