Study Description

Brief Summary:

rhThrombin is a serine protease from human.The study is to assess the Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity and efficacy of rhThrombin.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Hepatectomy	Drug: rhThrombin ( Topical ); Drug: placebo	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study is a randomized, single-blind,blank controlled phase 1&2 trial ,including 3 independent parts toevaluate the safety,efficacy and immunogenicity.

The first part is ascending dose,blank control tolerability and safety study. The Starting doses from 500IU/ml to 1000IU/mL and 2000IU/mL to evaluate the safety,efficacy.

The second part is randomized, single-blind, blank controlled study to evaluate safety、efficacy and immunogenicity. Doses settings :1000IU/mL , 2000IU/mL and blank group which with absorbable collagen sponge when used.

The third part is randomized, single-blind, blank controlled study to evaluate safety、efficacy and immunogenicity. Doses settings :1000IU/mL , 2000IU/mL and blank group which directly sprayed on hemorrhagic point when used.

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Actual Enrollment: 84 participants
• Allocation: Randomized
• Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
• Intervention Model Description: The first part is ascending dose study: 3 subjects take rhThromb and 1 subjects take the same volume of saline; The second part is dose extension study:2 cohorts and 1 blank control group( the same volume of saline) used with absorbable collagen sponge;every group need 12 subject; The second part is dose extension study: 2 cohorts and 1 blank control group( the same volume of saline);every group need 12 subject
• Masking: Single (Participant)
• Primary Purpose: Treatment

• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
