Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percentage of Surgeries With a “Good” or “Excellent” Response as Measured by the Global Hemostatic Efficacy Assessment (GHEA) Score
    • Time Frame: Day 1 up to discharge or Day 14 (whichever was earlier)
    • GHEA score consisted of 3 individual rating scales: (1) Intra-operative Efficacy Assessment Scale, (2) Post-operative Efficacy Assessment Scale, and (3) Overall Peri-operative Efficacy Assessment Scale. Scales 1 and 2 was performed by the operating surgeon on Day 1, and Scale 3 was performed by the investigator on Day 14. Each rating scale was based on 4 points scale ranging from: 3 (Excellent), 2 (Good), 1 (Fair), and 0 (None). Total score ranged from 0 to 9, where scores evaluated as: excellent (7 to 9), good (5 to 7), fair (3 to 4), and none (0 to 2). The scores of 3 individual ratings scales were added together to form a GHEA score. For a GHEA score of 7 to be rated “excellent” with no individual assessment scores less than (<) 2 and at least 1 assessment score equal to (=) 3; otherwise a score of 7 was rated “good”. Percentage of Surgeries With a “Good” or “Excellent” response as measured by the GHEA score were reported.
