"In October 2024, the Company and FDA conducted a virtual meeting to discuss the SIR and the follow-up questions. During the discussion, the Company noted the results of its 2019 clinical trial involving 232 patients (of whom 118 were treated with its hemostatic gauze) that showed statistically superior performance in time to hemostasis using CelluSTAT over Ethicon’s Surgicel Original, the standard of care. The study results also showed no evidence of heterogeneity of results across procedure categories, surgeons, or clinical sites, indicating both poolability and generalizability of study results. The Company also noted that none of the adverse events that occurred during the study were attributable to its hemostatic gauze product."
Notwithstanding the safety record from the original clinical study, the FDA requested more data to confirm the safety and effectiveness of CelluSTAT in surgical procedures in the intestinal and thoracic organ space, where organ movement can impact the post operative stability of a hemostat and where observation of post operative rebleeding is more difficult. To address this concern, we have proposed to enroll 27 human subjects in a multi-site study as an extension of the original pivotal study, with patients undergoing open surgical procedures within the organ space. The supplemental study process will consist of submitting an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for FDA approval, identifying and contracting suitable surgical sites, enrolling patents, and data collection and analysis.
