About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Effectiveness of Sepraspray™ in Limiting the Formation of Postoperative Adhesions to Serosal Tissue (Abdominal Surgery)

This study will examine the safety and efficacy of Sepraspray in the following model of abdominal surgery: total proctocolectomy and pelvic pouch with diverting ileostomy via laparotomy to treat ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis. Adhesion formation will be evaluated laparoscopically at ileostomy take down. NOTE: A decision was made to terminate this study in June 2008 due to low enrollment.

SeprasprayExperimentalSepraspray Powder applied on the viscera directly under the midline incision followed by incision closure. Sepraspray dose applied was between 2 g and 4 g per patient.
Receives: Device: Sepraspray
ControlNo interventionNo anti-adhesion treatment used.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy: Primary efficacy endpoints include the incidence of adhesions to the midline incision

    Measured: 8-14 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary: efficacy endpoints include the extent of adhesions to the midline incision and the severity of adhesions to the midline incision.

    Measured: 8-14 weeks

  2. Safety: safety endpoints include assessments of adverse events, vital signs, incisional wound healing, clinical laboratory evaluations, and concomitant medications.

    Measured: 8-14 weeks
