Severe bleeding may be encountered in both traumatic and non-traumatic clinical situations. New products for the treatment of severe bleeding are needed to reduce the need for blood transfusions, minimize complications resulting from blood loss, and improve patient outcomes. The development and approval of new products for use in treatment of severe bleeding, particularly severe bleeding resulting from trauma, has been complicated by the lack of a consensus definition of severe bleeding as well as the need to identify appropriate clinical endpoints for assessment of product safety and efficacy. Clinical endpoints may vary depending on the product indications, patient characteristics, nature of injury, whether the product acts locally or systemically, the nature of the product (e.g., device, drug, biologic, or combination), and conditions of use. Because it may not always be feasible to obtain standard informed consent, clinical trials of products used for the treatment of life-threatening severe bleeding resulting from trauma may raise significant ethical and legal considerations. Researchers studying products for use in such circumstances may need guidance to carry out appropriate consultation with representatives of the communities in which the clinical investigation will be conducted and from which the study participants will be selected. Clinical trials on products intended for use in trauma are also complicated by the difficulty of identifying patients who may meet study inclusion criteria. Given these challenges, further discussion is needed about how products approved for use for treatment of severe bleeding occurring during surgery or due to non-surgical conditions may best be evaluated for use mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:24 Oct 18, 2010 Jkt 223001 in treatment of severe bleeding in trauma.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Severe bleeding may be encountered in both 
traumatic and non-traumatic clinical situations. New products for the 
treatment of severe bleeding are needed to reduce the need for blood 
transfusions, minimize complications resulting from blood loss, and 
improve patient outcomes. The development and approval of new products 
for use in treatment of severe bleeding, particularly severe bleeding 
resulting from trauma, has been complicated by the lack of a consensus 
definition of severe bleeding as well as the need to identify 
appropriate clinical endpoints for assessment of product safety and 
efficacy. Clinical endpoints may vary depending on the product 
indications, patient characteristics, nature of injury, whether the 
product acts locally or systemically, the nature of the product (e.g., 
device, drug, biologic, or combination), and conditions of use.
    Because it may not always be feasible to obtain standard informed 
consent, clinical trials of products used for the treatment of life-
threatening severe bleeding resulting from trauma may raise significant 
ethical and legal considerations. Researchers studying products for use 
in such circumstances may need guidance to carry out appropriate 
consultation with representatives of the communities in which the 
clinical investigation will be conducted and from which the study 
participants will be selected. Clinical trials on products intended for 
use in trauma are also complicated by the difficulty of identifying 
patients who may meet study inclusion criteria. Given these challenges, 
further discussion is needed about how products approved for use for 
treatment of severe bleeding occurring during surgery or due to non-
surgical conditions may best be evaluated for use in treatment of 
severe bleeding in trauma.
    The first day of the workshop will include presentations and panel 
discussions on the following topics: (1) Current clinical scientific 
knowledge concerning the pathophysiology of trauma and assessment of 
severe bleeding; (2) currently available locally acting and systemic 
products used to treat severe bleeding in trauma and non-trauma 
settings; (3) animal models for pre-clinical evaluation of products; 
(4) ethical considerations for clinical trials to evaluate products

evaluation of products for bleeding interventions, including clinical 
trials and endpoints. The second day of the workshop will include a 
discussion of whether products with an indication for use in severe 
bleeding due to trauma can be evaluated in clinical settings other than 
a trauma clinical trial and a summary of the sessions presented at the 
workshop.
