Intended Use
The COOK Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat is used for hemostasis of non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding.
Device Story
Hemospray® is a prescription endoscopic hemostatic device consisting of a bentonite powder agent and a CO2-powered delivery system. The physician inserts a polyethylene catheter through an endoscope accessory channel to the bleeding site. Upon trigger activation, CO2 propels the bentonite powder onto the bleeding surface. The powder absorbs fluid, swells, and forms a mechanical barrier to achieve hemostasis. Used in clinics or hospitals by gastroenterologists, the device provides rapid, non-contact hemostasis, particularly useful for diffuse bleeding, difficult-to-reach anatomical locations, or as a bridge to definitive treatment in hemodynamically unstable patients. It avoids direct tissue contact, reducing collateral injury risk compared to traditional modalities like clips or cautery. Benefits include ease of use, repeatability, and effectiveness in coagulopathic patients. Potential risks include bowel over-distension, perforation, obstruction, or embolization.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence basis for De Novo classification includes in vivo performance testing in clinically relevant models of GI bleeding and non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate mechanical integrity, functionality, and safety endpoints (thromboembolic events, toxicity, tissue trauma, obstruction, perforation).

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION
(b)
The Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat is a prescription use device consisting of a hemostatic agent and a delivery system. The hemostatic agent is (b) (4) | bentonite powder, a naturallysourced aluminum phyllosilicate clay. The delivery system is an endoscopic accessory used for spraying the powder onto the bleeding surface. The delivery device consists of a 220cm polyethylene application catheter, a handle with a pressurized CO2 cartridge, and a powder chamber containing approximately 20g of the Hemospray® material is propelled through the application catheter by release of CO2 from the cartridge located in the device handle. A trigger valve with an activation button allows the physician to control the amount of powder delivered to the affected area. Each actuation of Hemospray® delivers of CO2 and (b) gram of (b) (4) bentonite. Use of the complete 20-gram canister can produce a volume increase within the lumen of the bowel of 3 liters. In the presence of blood, the (b) (4) bentonite may swell 10-15% in volume.
The delivery system is offered in two configurations (i.e., two different outer diameters of the powder delivery catheter). The HEMO-7 version is used with a 2.8mm endoscope accessory channel, and the HEMO-10 version is used in a 3.7mm endoscope accessory channel.

Results of the animal study suggest that the Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat is effective at achieving initial hemostasis in a worst-case gastric bleeding model (Forrest 1a and 1b peptic ulcer tvpe bleeding). This study does not demonstrate safety/effectiveness in large area low-pressure bleeding where the probability of embolization may be more likely nor did it assess the potential rate of delayed re-bleeding.
## SUMMARY OF CLINICAL INFORMATION
Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc. has sponsored a pre-market pilot study, a survey and 2 postmarket clinical studies of Hemospray® to date, all performed outside the United States (OUS). The pilot study was a "first-in-human" feasibility study to determine performance and safety issues associated with the endoscopic use of Hemospray® powder as a hemostatic material to treat bleeding peptic ulcers. This study was conducted in Hong Kong, China from 2009 to 2010.
The Survey to Evaluate the Application of Hemospray® in the Luminal Tract (SEAL), was conducted in Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy and Holland.
The first post-market study. Hemostasis of Active GI Luminal Tract Bleeding (HALT) trial. was conducted in the European Union (EU). It was intended to study the safety and effectiveness of Hemospray® in treating upper gastrointestinal bleeds (UGIB), specifically Forrest 1a and 1b actively bleeding ulcers. Peptic ulcers are the most common cause of UGIB and are usually classified as spurting/pulsatile (1a) or oozing (1b) according to the Forrest scale. They account for up to 50% of peptic ulcer bleeds. The study began in 2011 with an intent to enroll 80 patients; 64 patients have been enrolled to date. The HALT study continues to enroll patients in the EU and Canada.
Finally, the second post-market study, APPROACH (A Prospective Observational Cohort Study of Hemospray® for Lower Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage), was conducted in Canada and designed to collect safety and performance data on non-variceal lower gastrointestinal bleeding (NVLGIB). APPROACH has recently completed enrolling its entire complement of 50 patients at 4 Canadian sites. The results of all the studies are presented below.
## PILOT STUDY
This pilot clinical trial was designed as a single-center, early feasibility study of Hemospray® powder for the treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers. The aim of the study was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Hemospray® in achieving acute hemostasis in peptic ulcer bleeding in subjects diagnosed with Forrest 1a or 1b bleeding peptic ulcers. The protocol for this prospective trial was approved by the ethics committee of the faculty of medicine of the Chinese University
{7}------------------------------------------------
of Hong Kong. China and conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. International Conference on Harmonization, Good Clinical Practices, and other regulations in force in Hong Kong. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients were to undergo upper GI endoscopy within approximately 24 hours of hospital admission. Each patient was allowed up to 2 applications of Hemospray® (potentially using multiple canisters during each application) during the index procedure, not exceeding a total of 150 g. Recurrent bleeding was monitored post-procedure and at a second-look endoscopy (72 hours posttreatment) was conducted on all patients. Patients were contacted by phone at 30 days to monitor the occurrence of any serious adverse events and mortality.
The safety and performance outcome measures of this study were:
Primary safety endpoint:
- The incidence of procedural and treatment-related serious adverse events for subjects . treated with Hemospray®.
Primary effectiveness endpoint:
- Proportion of subjects with acute (procedural) hemostasis. .
- Rate of recurrent bleeding within 72 hours of the application of Hemospray®
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Severe adverse events and mortality within 30 days of the study procedure .
- . Surgery required for failure to achieve hemostasis within 72 hours
Rate of hemostasis, rate of recurrent bleeding, need for surgical intervention, treatment-related and procedure-related serious adverse events and major adverse events (e.g., arterial embolization, allergic reaction, bowel obstruction) were also assessed.
Twenty patients were enrolled in the study. An interim analysis was conducted on data collected from the first 10 patients. Since no major adverse events related to the Hemospray® powder or delivery catheters were reported. 10 additional patients were enrolled. The study consisted of 18 males and 2 females. Mean age was 60.2 years (range 37-85 y). The first patient was enrolled in the study on November 17, 2009 and the last patient was enrolled on August 27, 2010. The final follow-up visit was on September 27, 2010.
All 20 patients included in this study presented with melena at hospital admission, 7 of whom also had concurrent hematemesis. Nineteen patients were diagnosed with a Forrest 1b ulcer and 1 patient had Forrest 1a bleeding. Most ulcers were in the duodenum 14 (70%) and the remaining 6 (30%) were in the stomach. A single application of Hemospray® was used in 17 (85%) patients, and two applications were used in 3 (15%) patients. The number of syringes of Hemospray® used for each patient ranged between 1 and 7, with most patients (13/20, 65%) receiving only 1 syringe (20g). Of the remaining 7 patients, 5 received 2 syringes, one patient received 4 syringes, and one patient received 7 syringes.
{8}------------------------------------------------
### Results:
Endoscopic application of Hemospray® onto the ulcer bleeding site was successfully performed in all patients. Acute hemostasis was achieved in 19 of 20 patients (95%). There were no treatment-related or procedure-related serious adverse events. All patients were stable after the procedure and recovered uneventfully. The one patient in which acute hemostasis was not achieved was treated with 7 syringes of Hemospray® or 140 grams in one application. This patient was then treated according to institutional standard of care (endoscopic epinephrine injection and hemostasis clips) in 3 additional unsuccessful attempts to achieve endoscopic hemostasis and was referred for angiography during which a pseudoaneurysm was identified in the artery feeding the ulcer site. Ultimately, TAE (trans-arterial embolization) of the feeding artery was required to stop bleeding in this patient. The patient was contacted at 30 days and reported no serious adverse events.
Of the 19 patients in which acute hemostasis was achieved, sustained hemostasis as defined by the study was observed in 17 (89.5%) patients through 72 hours. Two patients met the study definition of recurrent bleeding or re-bleeding within 72 hours. However, in both patients, no active bleeding was observed at the treated lesion sites at the planned second-look endoscopy. Both patients reported no adverse event or serious adverse event at 30-day follow-up.
## Safety outcome:
The Hemospray® powder was found to have been eliminated from the stomach and duodenum in all patients at the second-look endoscopy, conducted on Day 2 for one patient and Day 3 for all others. None of the patients, including the patient who received 140 grams or 7 syringes reported any adverse issues with passage of the powder through the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., no bowel obstruction). All patients were stable after the procedure and discharged uneventfully. There was no mortality reported during the 30-day follow-up. No treatment-related or procedurerelated serious adverse events and no major adverse events (e.g., embolization, bowel obstruction, or allergic reaction) were reported. While there were no reports of serious adverse events related to either the treatment or the procedure, 5 cases of non-device related serious adverse events were reported. These included 4 cases of prolonged hospitalization: 2 due to upper respiratory tract infection, 1 due to altered liver function and psychotic depression, and 1 patient who required more time to recover and regain stable blood values. The fifth event was the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma that was initially diagnosed as a gastric ulcer during the Hemospray® treatment procedure. In this last patient, a large gastric ulcer oozing from the base was found during endoscopy. There were some features suggestive of malignancy and biopsy was performed. The bleeding was successfully controlled by Hemospray®, and no Hemospray® powder was observed at the 72-hour endoscopy at the treatment site. Histology subsequently confirmed malignancy, and this patient was referred to a medical oncologist for further management. The only observations of relevance were clogging of the Hemospray® application catheter, but in each case a new catheter was used and the procedure completed.
# SURVEY TO EVALUATE THE APPLICATION OF HEMOSPRAY IN THE LUMINAL TRACT (SEAL)
Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc. initiated the post-market Survey to Evaluate the Application of Hemospray® in the Luminal Tract (SEAL) to collect limited, non-protected health information
{9}------------------------------------------------
and data on the Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc. Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat as part of a limited marketing release OUS. The information was used to develop educational materials for physicians new to this technology. Hemospray® used endoscopically by gastroenterologists provided effective acute hemostasis in the most common types of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, including Forrest 1a and 1b bleeding peptic ulcers.
As a requirement of participation in the SEAL registry, all physician participants were trained on the use of the Hemospray® kit by Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc. personnel. Training included discussion of hemostasis techniques, appropriate intended use and product labeling in the countries where the evaluation took place, and hands-on experience with the Hemospray® device. Each participating physician group was assigned a unique sign-on to access an electronic data capture form hosted on a secure internet portal. All cases entered into the database were numbered sequentially in the order of entry. No queries or audits to identify and correct missing data were performed. Summaries generated from the collected information were, therefore, constrained by the scope of the information collected, and are limited to counts of cases, common location of bleeding sites, severity of the bleeding treated, and other methods to achieve hemostasis if used in conjunction with Hemospray®. Complaints and adverse events were to be reported directly to the manufacturer. Ninety-two patients treated in Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy and Holland were registered in this survey. Two patients had no data entered in the electronic database by the site other than age and sex. In a third patient, the CO2 cartridge in the Hemospray® delivery system was found to be defective so the device was not used and the patient was not treated with Hemospray®. These 3 patients were excluded from analysis. Therefore, evaluable data from 89 patients were available for analysis.
Eight-four percent (84%) of patients were over the age of 50 (n = 75), and 71% (n = 63) were male. Acute hemostasis was achieved in all (100%) cases. Approximately 98% of the bleeding sites were in the upper GI tract and were identified in the duodenum (n = 38), stomach (n = 29), and esophagus (n = 20). Peptic ulcers constituted most cause of GI bleeding treated with Hemospray® (n = 40; 45%). Of the 40 patients with peptic ulcers, 16 were Forrest 1a bleeds (spurting or pulsatile), 19 were Forrest Class 1b (oozing), 3 were Forrest 2b (adherent clot), and 2 patients were unclassified. In one Forrest 2b case, a procedural video confirmed the clot was removed prior to treatment with Hemospray®. It is not known if the other 2 cases were treated in a similar fashion. Other conditions treated with Hemospray® included: bleeding after endoscopic mucosal resection or dissection (n = 9; 10%); diffuse bleeding from gastric malignancy (n = 8; 9%); Mallory-Weiss tears (n = 6; 7%); and upper GI post-polypectomy bleeding (n = 5; 6%); Hemospray® was used successfully in the colon for acute hemostasis in 2 cases.
Fifty-one (51) patients (57%) were successfully treated with Hemospray® alone, and the remaining 38 patients (43%) were successfully treated with Hemospray® as an adjunct to other standard of care methods. Hemospray® was identified as the final hemostasis treatment in 24 of 38 cases where more than one other method was used. In 5 patients, Hemospray® was used as the initial treatment and was followed by alternate methods including epinephrine injection, argon-plasma coagulation, bi-polar electrocautery, and hemoclips. In 9 patients, the order of use was unclear. Hemospray® was used as a single modality in 51 patients. Of the 51 patients treated with Hemospray® alone, 11 were diagnosed with Forrest 1a bleeds, 38 with Forrest 1b, and 2 with Forrest 2b. Acute hemostasis was achieved with Hemospray® alone in all 51 of
{10}------------------------------------------------
these patients. The remaining 38 patients were treated with Hemospray® and at least one other modality; 16 of these with Forrest 1a, 19 with Forrest 1b, 1 with Forrest 2b, and 2 were unclassified. Acute hemostasis was achieved in all 38. There were no unanticipated adverse events or serious adverse events attributed to the Hemospray® Endoscopic Hemostat. Holster I.L. et. al., published a study of patients in the SEAL survey with upper gastrointestinal bleeding who were on antithrombotic therapy which included mostly patients on antiplatelet agents and a few on anticoagulation therapy. Patients had 63% initial hemostasis with a 38% rebleeding rate following Hemospray® treatment.
## HEMOSTASIS OF ACTIVE GI LUMINAL TRACT BLEEDING (HALT) STUDY
The HALT trial was designed to study the safety and effectiveness of Hemospray® in treating upper GI bleeds (UGIB), specifically Forrest 1a and 1b actively bleeding ulcers. The HALT trial continues to enroll patients in Canada and Europe with a final goal of 80 enrollments. An interim report of the study findings at 64 enrollments is presented as part of this submission. The data lock was instituted on August 24, 2016. The HALT study was initiated with Version 1 of the Hemospray® device (55 psi CO2 canisters), but all sites were converted to the Version 2 device (37 psi CO2 canisters) effective January 2013. There are 10 enrollment sites.

## Primary Endpoint
The primary effectiveness endpoint is the proportion of patients with further bleeds within 72 hours of the index procedure. Further bleed within 72 hours is defined as persistent bleeding (bleeding at the conclusion of the index endoscopy: 7 patients did not achieve initial hemostasis with Hemospray®) or recurrent bleeding (visualization of bleeding at the treated study lesion [assessed only in patients with successful initial hemostasis]) within 72 hours.
## Table 9. Primary Endpoint
| | % (n/N) |
|----------------------------------------------------------|----------------|
| Patients with further bleeds within 72 hours | 17.2% (11/63a) |
| Persistent bleeding after Hemospray application(s) | 11.1% (7/63a) |
| Endoscopically-confirmed recurrent bleed within 72 hours | 7.1% (4/56b) |
a Data were outstanding at time of data lock for one patient.
b Recurrent bleed was only assessed in patients with successful initial hemostasis (i.e., patients without persistent bleeding).
To further investigate if demographics or baseline characteristics affected the primary endpoint, persistent bleeding, or early recurrent bleed, a stepwise logistic regression was performed using sex, ulcer location, ulcer diameter, Forrest score, and hypertension as variables (criterion was p<0.3 for inclusion in the model; criterion for removal was p>0.35). No variables were found to significantly affect the primary endpoint of persistent bleeding; however, stepwise logistical regression indicated that patients with Forrest 1a bleeds are more likely to have an early recurrent bleed than patients with Forrest 1b bleeds. Further, patients with Forrest 1a bleeds are
{12}------------------------------------------------
more likely to have any recurrent bleed (early or late) than patients with Forrest 1b bleeds based on stepwise logistical regression.
## Secondary Endpoints
Secondary endpoints include: proportion of patients with hemostasis at the conclusion of the index procedure (i.e., initial hemostasis), clinical success (i.e., initial hemostasis and no SAE within 72 hours of the index procedure), early recurrent bleed (i.e., recurrent bleeding within 72 hours of the application of Hemospray®), late recurrent bleed (i.e., recurrent bleed occurring 72 hours-30 days), incidence of serious adverse GI events within 30 days of the application of Hemospray®, incidence of serious adverse events within 30 days of the application of Hemospray® and incidence of mortality at 30 days.
| | Number | Percent |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|---------|
| Patients achieving hemostasis during index endoscopy | 61 | 96.8 |
| Successful hemostasis achieved after Hemospray® application | 56 | 88.9 |
| Re-bleeding within 72 hours after successful initial hemostasis | 4 | 7.1b |
| 30-day all-cause mortality | 2a | 3.2 |
| Patients with device-related Serious Adverse Events within 30 days of index procedure | 0 | 0.0 |
Table 10. HALT Study Secondary Endpoints
4First patient cause of death was liver failure. Second patient cause of death was pneumonia.
b Re-bleeding was only assessed in patients with successful initial hemostasis (n=56).
Of the twelve patients with serious adverse events, one patient had an intra-operative perforation reported. This patient died two days post-procedure due to liver failure. Ten patients had clinical signs and symptoms of re-bleeds (seven with confirmed recurrent bleeding at the study lesion site, one which endoscopically confirmed that the initial study lesion was not involved, and two which were not considered to be a recurrent bleed at the study lesion site by the physician and therefore did not have repeat endoscopy performed). Of note, clinical signs and symptoms of rebleed are a common adverse event in patients recently treated for peptic ulcer bleeds. One patient had no signs of re-bleeding, however, developed pneumonia that resulted in death.

Specifically, 11 events of clinical signs and symptoms of re-bleeding in 10 patients and 2 perforations were considered serious adverse events. Of the reports of re-bleeding, two were not considered recurrent bleeds because hemostasis had not been achieved with Hemospray® during the initial procedure. No treatment or repeat endoscopy was performed for either patient and neither patient had further reports of clinical signs and symptoms of re-bleeding throughout the follow-up period. In three additional cases that were not considered recurrent bleeds, correspondence between Wilson-Cook Medical, Inc. and the study physician indicated that the clinical signs and symptoms of re-bleeding were attributable to the original bleed, rather than recurrent bleeding; therefore, additional endoscopy was not performed. None of the signs or symptoms were treated (although one patient was instructed to take an iron supplement), and no further reports of clinical signs or symptoms of re-bleeding were submitted throughout the remainder of the study follow-up. In one case that was not considered recurrent bleeding, it was reported that re-bleed from the treated site was not suspected. One individual with hypotension and melena after normalization of stool color was not re-scoped as the study site reported that the patient was not well enough to undergo repeat endoscopy and the patient's melena had resolved on the same day. The remaining patient with clinical signs and symptoms of re-bleeding did have recurrent bleed with endoscopic confirmation of study lesion involvement, which was treated with epinephrine injection, hemostasis clips, and transfusion.
Initial hemostasis was achieved using Hemospray® as a single-modality treatment method in 88.9% (56/63) of cases. Initial hemostasis was defined as patients with hemostasis at the conclusion of the index procedure, where 'index procedure' is considered to be the application of Hemospray® and a 5-minute observation period. Patients that did not achieve initial hemostasis with Hemospray® were treated with hemostasis clips (1 patient), injection (with epinephrine) and hemostasis clips (2 patients), injection and argon beam therapy (1 patient), injection and thermal probe (1 patient), conversion to surgical repair (1 patient is described further in Table 10, HALT Summary Study Data), and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy (1 patient). Subsequent events of perforation and death were reported for 1 patient.
Fifty-five patients completed their 30-day follow-up; eight patients exited the study prior to completion of 30-day follow-up. Of these eight, one patient died 2 days after the procedure, and one patient died 18 days after the procedure. Both deaths occurred after surgical intervention, one for bowel perforation and one for re-bleeding, resulting in death from postoperative liver failure and pneumonia, respectively. Six other patients were lost to follow up prior to completing the study follow-up schedule.
# A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL COHORT STUDY OF HEMOSPRAY™ FOR LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE (APPROACH)
The second study is the APPROACH study in Canada. APPROACH is designed to collect safety and performance data on NVLGIB. Although the rate of occurrence and mortality in LGIB is lower than UGIB, bleeding in the lower GI tract can become clinically significant and/or
{14}------------------------------------------------
exacerbate existing co-morbidities. This prospective, single-arm, post-market study collected data on the safety and performance of the Hemospray® device when used as a treatment to achieve hemostasis of non-variceal lower GI bleeding. The study enrolled 50 patients at 4 clinical sites in Canada. Patient enrollment and data collection were completed in October and November 2016, respectively. The final site monitoring visit was completed in February 2017. Results are presented below.

## Serious Adverse Events
Of the six patients with serious adverse events, one patient died from gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to pre-existing chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia 27 days after the procedure. Five cases of clinical signs and symptoms of lower GI bleeding were reported in four patients. Two of these cases were confirmed to have a recurrent bleed at the study lesion site, one case was conservatively assumed to be a recurrent bleed at the study lesion site as visual confirmation was not attained, and three cases were considered not to be recurrent bleeds. Two additional postoperative serious adverse events were reported in which clinical signs and symptoms of lower GI bleeding were not noted.

Table 21. Patient Morbidity
Forty-eight patients completed their final follow-up. One patient exited the study prior to completion of the 14-day and 30-day follow-ups. One patient died 27 days after the procedure, as noted above. No other patients were lost to follow up prior to completing the study follow-up schedule.
# Literature Summary of Recent Clinical Hemospray® Use
An extensive search was performed to identify the existing clinical literature on the recent use of Hemospray®. The search terms "Hemospray" or "TC-325" were used in PubMed and Google Scholar. Only publications in clinical journals were included in the analysis. Non-clinical studies, review articles, conference abstracts, and publications not in English were excluded. Publications that appeared to have overlapping patients with another study were excluded. Treatments of contraindicated bleeding types (e.g., varices or fistulas) were excluded from the analysis. Thirty (30) relevant studies were identified comprising the treatment of 522 patients with Hemospray®. Overall, the hemostasis rate after the use of Hemospray® was 96% and the endoscopically achieved hemostasis rate was 97%. The 30-day gastrointestinal bleeding-related mortality rate was 3%. Four potential device-related adverse events (0.8%) were identified in the literature (2 reports of perforation and 2 reports of aspiration pneumonia); however, none of these events were reported to be directly attributed to the use of Hemospray® in the publications.

# Table 22. Hemospray® Clinical Literature Summary
a Potential device-related adverse events were 2 perforations and 2 cases of aspiration pneumonia. None of these adverse events could be directly attributed to the use of Hemospray®.
The literature reports consisted of the following levels of evidence:
- . Level II: 12 Registry Derived Studies
- Level IV: The remainder of the studies consist of level IV evidence single arm ● retrospective or prospective studies, case series and case reports.
For a total of 30 studies in which there were 532 Hemospray® applications, resulting in 96% hemostasis rate and an overall re-bleeding rate of 23%. There were 2 instances of bowel perforation which may have been attributed to the use of Hemospray® and 2 aspiration pneumonias which could not be conclusively attributed to Hemospray®. There were no reports of bowel powder impaction or thromboembolic events.
