    The sealer protein and the thrombin solutions should be clear or slightly opalescent. Do not use solutions that are cloudy or have deposits. Before use, check the thawed product visually for particles, discoloration or other changes in its appearance. If one of the above occurs, dispose of the solutions.

    The thawed sealer protein solution should be liquid but slightly viscous. If the solution has the consistency of a solidified gel, do NOT use ARTISS.

    2.2 Method of Application

    ARTISS must be applied only to application sites that are visible. Individualize the amount to be applied based on the size of the surface to be covered. Prior to applying ARTISS, dry the site of application using standard techniques (e.g., intermittent application of compresses, swabs, use of suction devices). Do not use pressurized air or gas for drying the site. Apply ARTISS as a thin layer.

    The approximate surface areas covered by each package size are:

    Application with Spray Device

    Apply using the EASYSPRAY and Spray Set, or an equivalent device cleared by FDA for application of ARTISS. See additional instructions for use provided with the EASYSPRAY and Spray Set. Artiss must not be used with the EASYSPRAY / Spray Set system in enclosed body cavities.

    Ensure that parts of the body outside the desired application area are sufficiently covered to prevent tissue adherence at undesired site.

    Apply as a thin layer to avoid the formation of excess granulation tissue and to ensure gradual absorption of the polymerized fibrin sealant. Excessive clot thickness may delay the natural wound healing process. Ensure that the amount applied is sufficient to entirely cover the intended application area.

    The aerosolized sealant should be applied to the wound in a painting motion from side to side to achieve an even thin layer. The wound bed will glisten in the area to which fibrin sealant has been applied. Any areas not covered by fibrin sealant will be clearly visible.

    Attach the skin flap or graft to the wound bed immediately after ARTISS has been sprayed. Wet gloves with normal saline before product contact to prevent adherence. The surgeon has up to 60 seconds to manipulate and position the flap or graft prior to polymerization.

    Repeat application, if necessary, to any small areas that may not have been previously treated.

    Hold the flap or graft in the desired position by gentle compression for at least 3 minutes to ensure ARTISS sets properly and firmly adheres the skin graft or flap to the underlying tissue. The solidified fibrin sealant reaches its final strength in approximately 2 hours after application.

    Application with DUO Set A (AST Syringe) and DUPLOJECT COMBI (PRIMA Syringe)

    The cannulas included with the DUO Set A and DUPLOJECT COMBI may be used for small wounds or for edges of a skin graft that did not adhere to the wound bed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Immediately before application, expel and discard the first several drops from the application cannula to ensure adequate mixing of the Sealer Protein and Thrombin solutions in cases where very small volumes (1-2 drops) are administered.

    DUO Set A (AST Syringe) Instructions (see Figure 1):

    1.
    Insert Plunger into syringe barrel.
    2.
    Expel all air from the syringe prior to attaching any application device.
    3.
    Align the joining piece and tether to the side of the syringe with the tether strap hole.
    4.
    Connect the nozzles of the double chamber ready-to-use syringe to the joining piece, ensuring that they are firmly attached.
    5.
    Secure the joining piece by fastening the tether strap to the double chamber ready-to-use syringe.
    6.
    If the tether strap tears, use the spare joining piece provided in the kit.
    7.
    Do NOT expel the air remaining inside the joining piece.
    8.
    Attach an application cannula on to the joining piece.
    9.
    Do NOT expel the air remaining inside the joining piece and inside the application cannula until the start of the actual application because this may clog the application cannula.

    DUPLOJECT COMBI (PRIMA Syringe) Instructions (see Figure 2)

    1.
    The plunger is attached to the syringe barrel and does not need to be inserted.
    2.
    Expel all air from the syringe prior to attaching any application device.
    3.
    Align the joining piece and tether to the side of the syringe with the tether strap hole.
    4.
    Connect the nozzles of the double chamber ready-to-use syringe to the joining piece, ensuring that they are firmly attached.
    5.
    Secure the joining piece by fastening the tether strap to the double chamber ready-to-use syringe.
    6.
    If the tether strap tears, use the spare joining piece provided in the kit.
    7.
    Do NOT expel the air remaining inside the joining piece.
    8.
    Attach an application cannula on to the joining piece.
    9.
    Do NOT expel the air remaining inside the joining piece and inside the application cannula until the start of the actual application because this may clog the application cannula.

    Note: Interruption of application causes clogging in the cannula. Replace the cannula immediately prior to resuming application. If the opening of the joining piece (Y connector) facing the cannula is clogged, use the spare joining piece provided in the package.

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    ARTISS is a two component fibrin sealant solution, comprised of sealer protein (human) and thrombin (human) available in a 2 mL, 4 mL, or 10 mL (total volume) pre-filled syringe with the DUO Set A (AST Syringe) or DUPLOJECT COMBI (PRIMA Syringe).

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Do not inject directly into the circulatory system or into highly vascularized tissue. Intravascular application can result in life-threatening thromboembolic events and can increase the likelihood and severity of acute hypersensitivity reaction in susceptible patients.

    Do not use in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to aprotinin and/or hypersensitivity to any of the active substances or excipients of ARTISS including proteins such as fibrinogen, thrombin, and human albumin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6)].

    Do not spray where the minimum recommended distance from the applicator tip to the target site cannot be assured.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur. Cases have been reported in post-marketing experience with fibrin sealant. In specific cases, these reactions have progressed to anaphylaxis. Such reactions may especially be seen if product is applied repeatedly over time or in the same setting, or if systemic aprotinin has been administered previously; however, these reactions may also occur in patients receiving ARTISS for the first time. A first successful treatment does not exclude a later allergic reaction. Symptoms associated with allergic anaphylactic reactions include: Flushing urticaria, pruritus, nausea, drop in blood pressure, tachycardia or bradycardia, dyspnea, severe hypotension and anaphylactic shock.

    Aprotinin, a monomeric polypeptide, is known to be associated with anaphylactic reactions. Even in the case of strict local application of aprotinin, there is a risk of anaphylactic reactions to aprotinin, particularly in the case of previous exposure [see Contraindications (4)].

    Discontinue administration in the event of hypersensitivity reactions. Remove the already applied, polymerized product from the surgical field. Mild reactions can be managed with antihistamines. Severe reactions and reactions involving hypotension require immediate resuscitative intervention.

    5.2 Application Precautions

    Any application of pressurized air or gas is associated with a potential risk of air or gas embolism, tissue rupture, or gas entrapment with compression, which may be life threatening or fatal.

    Life threatening/fatal air or gas embolism has occurred with the use of spray devices employing pressure regulator to administer fibrin sealants. This can occur if a spray device is used at higher than recommended pressures and in closer than recommended proximity to the tissue surface. The risk appears to be higher when fibrin sealants are sprayed with air, as compared to CO2 and therefore cannot be excluded with ARTISS when sprayed in open surgical procedures.

    To reduce the risk of a potentially life-threatening gas embolism when using a spray device, be sure to use the pressure within the pressure range recommended by the spray device manufacturer. In the absence of a specific recommendation avoid using pressure above 20-25 psi. Do not spray closer than the distance recommended by the spray device manufacturer. In the absence of a specific recommendation avoid spraying closer than 10-15 cm from the surface of the tissue. When spraying, changes in blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and end tidal CO2 should be monitored because of the possibility of occurrence of air or gas embolism. When using the EASYSPRAY device, or an equivalent spray device cleared by FDA, use the pressure within the pressure range recommended by the spray device manufacturer. Spray only on to visible application sites, not in enclosed body cavities.

    5.3 Protein Denaturation

    Solutions containing alcohol, iodine or heavy metals may interfere with the product’s performance due to denaturation of proteins or other mechanisms. If any of these substances have been used to clean the wound area, the area should be thoroughly rinsed and dried before application of ARTISS.

    5.4 Transmission of Infectious Agents

    ARTISS is made from human plasma. Because this product is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. All infections thought by a physician possibly to have been transmitted by this product should be reported by the physician or other healthcare provider to Baxter Healthcare Corporation, at 1-888-229-0001.

    Some viruses, such as parvovirus B19, are particularly difficult to remove or inactivate at this time. Parvovirus B19 most seriously affects pregnant women (fetal infection), immune-compromised individuals or individuals with an increased erythropoiesis (e.g., hemolytic anemia) [see Pregnancy (8.1) and Patient Counseling Information (17)].

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The most frequent (≥ 1% of clinical trial subjects) adverse reactions with the use of ARTISS were: Skin graft failure, hematoma and pruritus in burn studies, and hematoma/seroma in rhytidectomy studies.

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    The burn and rhytidectomy surgery trials were prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trials with a total of 298 subjects. In each trial, the subject served as its own control. All subjects treated have been included into the safety analysis. [see Clinical Studies (14)]

    The data described in Table 5 reflects the exposure to ARTISS in the 4 burn and rhytidectomy surgery trials:

    Adverse reactions in the burn trials occurring in greater than 1% of subjects were skin graft failure (3%), hematoma (1%) and pruritus (1%) [n=178].

    Adverse reactions in the facial rhytidectomy trials occurring in greater than 1% of subjects were hematoma/seroma (4%) [n=120].

    6.2 Post-Marketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval of ARTISS. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to product exposure.

    Air embolism [See Application Precautions (5.2)]

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    Oxycellulose containing preparations may reduce the efficacy of ARTISS and should not be used as carrier materials. No interaction studies have been performed.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary
    There are no available data on ARTISS use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. It is also not known whether ARTISS can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Some viruses, such as parvovirus B19, are particularly difficult to remove or inactivate at this time. Parvovirus B19 most seriously affects pregnant women (fetal infection).

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no direct or controlled studies of ARTISS in lactating women. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk, there is no information regarding the effects on the breastfed infant, and the effects on milk production.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ARTISS and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ARTISS or from underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    In two clinical trials utilizing ARTISS to adhere autologous skin grafts to surgically prepared wound beds resulting from burns, the efficacy and safety in 38 pediatric subjects (27 subjects ages 1-10 years and 11 subjects ages 11-16 years) were not different from an adult population.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Thirteen subjects aged 65 and older (65-71 years of age) have been treated with ARTISS in facial rhytidectomy clinical trials. Separate evaluations of these subjects were not performed. No specific clinical data have been generated for the Geriatric population.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    To avoid the formation of excess granulation tissue and to ensure gradual absorption of the polymerized fibrin sealant, apply only a thin layer [ Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    ARTISS [Fibrin Sealant (Human)] is a two-component fibrin sealant made from pooled human plasma.

    Sealer Protein Solution
    Total protein: 96 -125 mg/mL
    Fibrinogen: 67 - 106 mg/mL
    Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (Synthetic): 2250 - 3750 Kallidinogenase Inhibiting Unit/mL

    Other ingredients include: Human albumin, tri-sodium citrate, histidine, niacinamide, polysorbate 80 and water for injection (WFI).

    Thrombin Solution
    Thrombin (Human): 2.5 - 6.5 units/mL1
    Calcium Chloride: 36 - 44 µmol/mL
    Other ingredients include: Human albumin, sodium chloride and water for injection (WFI).

    1 The potency expressed in units is determined using a clotting assay against an internal reference standard for potency that has been calibrated against the World Health Organization (WHO) Second International Standard for Thrombin, 01/580. Therefore, a unit is equivalent to an International Unit (IU).

    Sealer Protein (Human)

    Sealer Protein (Human) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, vapor-heated and solvent/detergent treated preparation made from pooled human plasma. Sealer Protein (Human) is provided as a frozen liquid solution pre-filled into one side of a dual-chambered syringe (1). The active ingredient in Sealer Protein (Human) is fibrinogen. A Fibrinolysis Inhibitor, Aprotinin (Synthetic) is included in the Sealer Protein (Human) component to delay fibrinolysis. Aprotinin (Synthetic) is manufactured by solid phase synthesis from materials completely of non-human/non-animal origin.

    Thrombin (Human)

    Thrombin (Human) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, vapor-heated and solvent/detergent treated preparation made from pooled human plasma. Thrombin (Human) is provided as a frozen liquid solution pre-filled into one side of a dual-chambered syringe (2).

    Sealer Protein (Human) and Thrombin (Human) are made from pooled human plasma collected at US licensed collection centers. The vapor heat and solvent/detergent treatment steps used in the manufacturing process have been shown to be capable of significant viral reduction. No procedure, however, has been shown to be completely effective in removing viral infectivity from derivatives of human plasma [see Viral Clearance below and Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].

    Viral Clearance

    The manufacturing procedure includes processing steps designed to further reduce the risk of viral transmission. In particular, vapor heating and solvent/detergent treatment processes are included in the manufacturing of Sealer Protein Concentrate and Thrombin. Validation studies were conducted using samples drawn from manufacturing intermediates for each of the two human plasma derived components. These samples were spiked with stock virus suspensions of known titers followed by further processing under conditions equivalent to those in the respective manufacturing steps. The stock virus suspensions represent HIV, HBV, HCV, HAV and Human Parvovirus B19.

    The virus reduction factors (expressed as log10) of independent manufacturing steps are shown in Table 6 for each of the viruses tested:

    In addition, Human Parvovirus B19 was used to investigate the upstream Thrombin precursor mass capture step, the Sealer Protein early manufacturing steps and the Thrombin and Sealer Protein vapor heating steps. Using quantitative PCR assays, the estimated log reduction factors obtained were 1.7 and 3.4 for the Thrombin precursor mass capture step and Sealer Protein early manufacturing steps and >4 / 1.0 for the Thrombin / Sealer Protein vapor heating steps, respectively.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Upon mixing Sealer Protein (Human) and Thrombin (Human), the two components mimic the final stage of the blood coagulation cascade. Soluble fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin that adheres to the wound surface and to the skin flap or graft to be affixed. Due to the low thrombin concentration, initial polymerization will take up to 60 seconds. The fibrin clot continues to strengthen for up to 2 hours after application.

    Spray application over the wound bed provides full surface adherence of skin flaps and grafts. Full surface adherence minimizes areas of dead space between the wound bed and applied tissues. Elimination of dead space prevents shear irritation upon movement as well as reduces the void space under the skin that can host fluid build-up.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Thrombin is a highly specific protease that transforms the fibrinogen contained in Sealer Protein (Human) into fibrin.

    Fibrinolysis Inhibitor, Aprotinin (Synthetic), is a polyvalent protease inhibitor that prevents premature degradation of fibrin. Free Aprotinin and its metabolites have a half-life of 30 to 60 minutes and are eliminated by the kidney. Preclinical studies with different fibrin sealant preparations simulating the fibrinolytic activity generated by extracorporeal circulation in patients during cardiovascular surgery have shown that incorporation of aprotinin in the product formulation increases resistance of the fibrin sealant clot to degradation in a fibrinolytic environment.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    Burns (grafts)

    ARTISS was investigated for adherence of split thickness sheet skin grafts in burn patients in a prospective, randomized, controlled, evaluator-blinded, multicenter clinical trials. In each of the 138 patients, two comparable test sites were identified after burn wound excision. Skin grafts were adhered at one test site using ARTISS, and at the other test site using staples (control). The study product was applied once to the wound bed of the allocated test site during skin grafting surgery.

    The mean ± standard deviation (SD) estimated total body surface area (TBSA) for all burn wounds was 13.6 ± 9.2%. The mean ± SD estimated TBSA requiring skin grafting was 8.0 ± 6.9%. The mean ± SD estimated TBSA for ARTISS test sites was 1.7 ± 0.8% and for the stapled test sites was 1.7 ± 0.7%. Burn wound thickness was classified as full thickness in 106 (76.8%) of the 138 treated subjects, and partial thickness in 32 (23.2%) subjects.

    The safety population contained all 138 treated subjects; however, 11 subjects did not have an available primary endpoint assessment, leaving a modified intent-to-treat (ITT) set of 127 patients. Complete wound closure by Day 28 was achieved in 43.3% of the ARTISS test sites and 37.0% of the stapled test sites in the 127 ITT patients. Wound closure at Day 28 was complete at 72% of the ARTISS and staples test sites for the 1-6 years old group (N=18), at 32% of the ARTISS test sites and 26% of the staples test sites for the 7-18 years old group (N=19) and at 40% of the ARTISS test sites and 32% of the staples test sites for the greater then 18 years old group [ITT]. The lower limit of the 97.5% confidence interval of the difference between ARTISS and staples was -0.029. A similar result was obtained in the per protocol (PP) population: complete wound closure by Day 28 was achieved in 45.3% of the ARTISS test sites and 39.6% of the stapled test sites in the 106 PP patients. The lower limit of the 97.5% confidence interval of the difference between ARTISS and staples was -0.041. Therefore, ARTISS was found to be non-inferior to staples in the ITT and PP populations at the 97.5% one-sided level for complete wound closure by Day 28 because the lower limit of the confidence interval of the difference between ARTISS and staples success rates was greater than the predefined limit of -0.1.

    Facial Rhytidectomy (flaps)

    ARTISS was investigated for adherence of skin flaps in facial rhytidectomy surgeries during two prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trials. Both the preliminary trial investigating 45 subjects and the confirmatory trial with 75 subjects had a split-face design in which 1 side of the face was treated with ARTISS as an adjunct to the standard of care (SoC) and the other side received SoC only, which was closure of the flap by means of staples and suturing only; therefore each subject participated in both arms (ARTISS and SoC).

    Primary endpoint of the confirmatory trial conducted in 75 subjects was the total drainage volume collected from each side of the face at 24 h (±4 h) post surgery. Occurrence of hematoma and seroma on each side of the face, comparison of edema between the 2 sides of the face, changes in skin sensitivity from baseline on each side of the face and subject preference were evaluated as secondary endpoints.

    In both trials, a standardized drain was placed in each side of the face prior to the flap closure and drainage volume from both sides of the face from all subjects was compared. Pressure dressings were not allowed.

    The results for the primary endpoint of the confirmatory trial are presented in Table 7a below.

    A statistically significant difference in drainage volumes was observed, favoring the side of the face treated with ARTISS.

    Drainage volumes at 24 h post operatively for each side of the face reported as secondary endpoint in the preliminary trial are presented in Table 7b below.

    An integrated analysis of the occurrence of hematoma/seroma in all 120 subjects across two trials was performed. A comparison of the proportion of subjects experiencing a hematoma/seroma exclusively on the ARTISS-treated side or on the SoC side of the face is presented in Table 8 below.
