Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Are able and willing to provide written informed consent to participate in this study,
confirmed by signing the informed consent documents

- Adult males and females ≥18 years of age

- Female subjects must be post-menopausal. Post-menopausal status is defined as any of
the following: natural menopause with menses >1 year ago; radiation induced
oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago; chemotherapy induced menopause with 1 year
interval since last menses

- Willing and able to comply with all protocol requirements including follow-up

- Subject must have a haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL at screening

- Subject must have a platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 at screening

- Subject is undergoing a planned open liver resection

- Male subjects must be willing and able to use adequate contraception from enrollment
through to the 30 day follow-up visit

- During the surgery, the subject presents an identified target bleeding site (TBS) with
oozing, mild or moderate bleeding, which conventional surgical techniques are
insufficient to control and would otherwise be a candidate for standard haemostats

- During the surgery, subject presents no intraoperative complications, other than
bleeding, that may interfere with study assessments as judged by the investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject is undergoing emergency surgical procedure

- Recipient of a liver transplant

- Females of child-bearing potential

- Active infection at the time of the liver resection

- International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 2.0 or APTT ratio > 2.0 at screening

- Fibrinogen level < 1.5g/L at screening

- History of thromboembolic disease and/or thrombophilia

- Any other disease or condition that may affect normal blood clotting, for example
thrombocytopenia, as judged by the investigator

- A known history of anaphylaxis or allergic reaction to human albumin, PEGylated
proteins, yeast or moulds, porcine products or other components in the IMP

- Participation in another investigational drug or device research study within 30 days
before and after enrolment in the current study

- Current known or suspected alcohol and/or drug abuse or dependence at the time of
screening

- Any concurrent medical, surgical, or psychiatric condition that may, in the
investigator's opinion, affect the subject's willingness or ability to meet all study
requirements during the study duration

- During the surgery, subject presents severe bleeding where use of a topical haemostat
would be inappropriate

- Subject is taking any prohibited medications

- BMI at screening of ≥35
