About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Open Interventional Study for Evaluation of Use of Peristomal Mesh for Prophylaxis of Parastomal Hernia

The study aims to prove differences or equalities in outcome for patients operated with or without a peristomal mesh in the sublay position when establishing a permanent colostomy.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomized to 2 groups equal in number: a group with mesh implantation and a control group without mesh implantation.

Primary endpoint is Parastomal hernia. Secondary endpoints are operating time, infection, obstruction, stenosis, retraction, fistulae, skin related problems and reoperations. Endpoints are correlated to body mass index, previous hernia, age, concurrent illness and cause for colostomy. Patients are followed 4 years after operation with clinical examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mesh in permanent colostomy in people with Hernia, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2015. 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 Norway. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Parastomal hernia (time frame: at 3, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00496418, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jan 2015.
