An Exploratory Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Fibrin Sealant, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent Treated (FS VH S/D) 500 S-APR for the Sealing of Dura Defect Sutures in Posterior Fossa Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Fibrin Sealant, Vapor Heated, Solvent/Detergent-treated with 500 IU/mL thrombin and synthetic aprotinin (FS VH S/D 500 s-apr) and Standard of care for Pathological Processes in the Posterior Fossa and Dura Defects. Completed, enrolled 95 participants across 13 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr, a double virus-inactivated biological two-component fibrin sealant, for use in posterior fossa surgery as an adjunct to dura and dura substitute sutures in preventing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Application of a thin layer of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr to the entire length of the suture loop and the adjacent area to at least 5 mm away from the suture line, including all suture holes. After application, the product is to be allowed to polymerize for 3 minutes.
Standard care: defined as the closure of a dura defect by suturing in a patch of autologous fascia, pericranium or suturable collagen-based dura substitute.
