Trial summary

The study involves adult subject requiring colonic anastomosis following laparoscopic intra-corporeal surgery. The anastomosis will be performed by using nitinilclip by the LapCAC device instead of staplers. Endpoints: safety-Functioning secured anastomosis and no occurrence of adverse event related to device use. Read more about this study

About this study

The study involves adult subject requiring colonic anastomosis following laparoscopic intra-corporeal surgery. The anastomosis will be performed by using nitinilclip by the LapCAC device instead of staplers.

Endpoints: safety-Functioning secured anastomosis and no occurrence of adverse event related to device use.

The efficacy endpoint of this study includes clinical evaluation of characteristic parameters related to intestinal surgeries.

Discharge day (or ready-for-discharge) Proven anastomotic leak rate (clinically or radiological) Stenosis / stricture at anastomosis Patient recovery level will be assessed every day during hospitalization and in the follow up visits.

Read the detailed description

The following steps are to be performed during the NiTi LapCAC surgical procedure.

  1. Prophylactic antibiotic - as per specific department regimen.
  2. Bowel preparation will be performed one-day prior to surgery. The preparation will included Sofodex solution combined with oral neomycin.
  3. Aanticoagulation tratment prior surgery- as per specific department regimen.
  4. Routine general anesthesia according to standard operation room procedure.
  5. Prepare the surgery area according to routine procedure with soap and alcohol. Insert the trocars.
  6. Align the two ends of bowel side-by-side in the same direction or in the opposite direction. Seal the ends with staples leaving blind loop of no less than 2.5 cm. (1 inch) and make two small enterotomies.
  7. The Clip mounted on the Applier should be cooled by immersing it in ice-cold sterile saline bath for at least 20 seconds.
  8. Place the open clip into the prepared enterotomies, each clip coil in one enterotomy.
  9. Approximating body temperature, the coils will recover its programmed shape applying pressure on the tissue.
  10. Closure (staple line and enterotomies): closure of the enterotomies with or without suture inversion of staple lines will be done by using Vicryl suture 3-0 or other absorbable suture. Postoperative care will be as for conventional treatment.
  11. Post operative treatment will be according to the department regimen and in relation to the patient condition.

The following baseline variables will be recorded for all patients:

  1. Demographics, including: gender, age, race, weight and height (BMI), ASA status.
  2. Background of disease - presentation, and TNM stage, etc.
  3. Region of excised colon.
  4. Metastasis yes/no where.
  5. Co-morbidities: Cardiac- (Ischemic heart disease (IHD), Congestive heart failure (CHF), NYHA Classification I,II,III,IV). Respiratory- Asthma, Obstructive pulmonary disease (OPD). Diabetes- Type 1(insulin-dependent diabetes), Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). hepatic- Cirrhosis. Alcohol Smoking.
  6. Medications.

Follow-up evaluation will be performed every day during hospitalization and one-month, three months and six months post procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LapCAC Laparoscopic Compression Anastomosis Clip in people with Colon Cancer, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ibrahim Matter, MD (04-8359137, matardoc@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functioning anastomosis without leaks or obstructions. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2005.
