What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Standard post-lobectomy wound care plus use of PRP and PPPc prepared by GPS and Plasmax respectivelyProcedure or surgery

    GPS is used to create the platelet rich plasma (PRP). Plasmax is used to create the concentrated platelet-poor plasma (PPPc). Both PRP and PPPc will be used for wound care in the thoracic cavity post-lobectomy.

  • Standard post-lobectomy wound careProcedure or surgery

    Standard post-lobectomy wound care

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard post-lobectomy wound care plus use of PRP and PPPc prepared by GPS and Plasmax respectively and Standard post-lobectomy wound care in people with Lung Cancer, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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 13 Mar 2017. 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 Canada. 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.

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?

Duration of postoperative air leak (time frame: Every 4 hours of postop hospital stay, between 4-6 weeks postop). 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 13 Mar 2017.
