Abstract

Objectives

TT-173 is a new hemostatic agent consisting of yeast-derived microvesicles containing a modified version of recombinant human tissue factor. In the present work, the procoagulant activity of TT-173 has been evaluated for the first time in humans.

Methods

This is a phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, systemic absorption, and immunogenicity of TT-173 in healthy volunteers undergoing tooth extraction. Subjects received TT-173 or placebo into the alveolar cavity, just after tooth extraction. Time to clot formation, bleeding time, and adverse events were recorded.

Results

Treatment with TT-173 reduced the bleeding time and the time to clot formation. No adverse events related with product administration were reported. In the same way, neither systemic absorption nor immunogenic reaction against the product was detected. Our findings pave the way to evaluate the usefulness of this new topical hemostatic agent in more complex oral surgeries and in those patients affected with coagulation disorders that may compromise the realization of dental procedures.

Conclusion

The new hemostatic agent TT-173 has proven efficacious and safe in healthy subjects undergoing tooth extraction supporting its further evaluation in more complex surgeries.

Clinical relevance

The development of this new topical hemostatic agent could contribute to bleeding control in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
