About this study

After establishing eligibility, subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive rhThrombin (1000 U/mL) or placebo. During a surgical procedure, study participants will be treated with blinded study drug (rhThrombin or placebo) in combination with an absorbable gelatin sponge at appropriate bleeding evaluation site(s). 510 patients will participate in the study.

In this study, stratified random enrollment was conducted according to the condition(experimental group or control group) of the subjects.Stratification factors were centered, gender (male/female) and age (18 ≤ age <60/60 ≤ age ≤70).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 18 to 70 years old (including 18 and 70 years old), male or female;
  • Patients with wedge-shaped liver resection or anatomical liver resection(1-5 consecutive liver segments);
  • After the operation was controlled by standard surgical hemostasis, there were still patients with mild/moderate bleeding lesions (bleeding, non-arterial bleeding);
  • Electrolytes (K, Na, CL, Ca, P, Mg) and ECG are normal or abnormal, Investigators believe that patients who do not affect surgery
  • No other therapeutic surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment;
  • Patients who have not used blood products within 24 hours before surgery;
  • In compliance with the requirements of the ethics committee, patients voluntarily signed informed consent and were able to conduct visits as required by the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known diseases of the blood system, including patients with coagulopathy or bleeding tendency;
  • Patients with unstable vital signs for more than 24 hours;
  • A history of severe heart, brain, and vascular disease within 6 months, including patients with a history of TIA, non-disabling cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or intracranial hemorrhage;
  • Active bleeding or abnormal coagulation function (PT>16s, APTT>43s, INR≥2) or receiving thrombolysis, anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy;
  • Have used drugs that affect the function of the coagulation system within 1 week before surgery (including but not limited to: aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, fensulfamide, desmopressin, aminotoluic acid, dipyridamole, ginkgo Leaf preparations, heparin, warfarin, citrate, hemagglutinin, Vk, anti-fibrotic solvents, hemostatic, Vc, etc.);
  • Women during pregnancy and lactation;
  • Participants who participated in clinical trials of other drugs within 4 weeks before enrollment.

Treatment and study plan

recombinant human Thrombin(CHO cell)

Biological

2 rhThrombin, dissolved in 5mL sterile saline and mixed, the final solution contains 1000IU/mL rhThrombin solution (clear and transparent liquid).

Other names: rhThrombin

Placebo

Biological

placebo, dissolved in 5mL sterile saline and mixed, the final solution contains 1000IU/mL rhThrombin solution (clear and transparent liquid).

Primary outcomes

  1. The rate of complete hemostasis within 6 minutes.

    Time frame: 6 minutes

    Those who did not stop bleeding within 6 minutes were defined as treatment failure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events(AE)

    Time frame: Up to 28 days

    An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment.

  2. Time to Hemostasis(TTH)

    Time frame: Evaluate the effect of hemostasis every 30sec until hemostasis is completed or 6 minutes of observation is completed

    TTH will be assessed for up to 6 minutes

  3. Immunogenicity

    Time frame: At baseline and Day 29

    Positive rate of anti-recombinant human thrombin neutralizing antibody.
