About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of a Iodine + Cyanoacrylate (Integuseal) vs. Iodine and Isopropyl Alcohol in Skin Preparation for Prevention of Surgical Site Infections in Oncologic Surgery

The purpose if this study is to determine whether a microbial sealant (iodine + cyanoacrylate) [InteguSEAL®, Kimberly-Clark] reduces surgical site infections when compared to iodine and isopropyl alcohol (povacrylex in isopropyl alcohol) [Duraprep®] in oncologic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patient's skin flora is a major source of pathogens, and microbial contamination of the surgical site is a likely precursor of SSI. A variety of skin products may be used, including iodophors, alcohol-containing products, and clorhexidine gluconate. Despite these perioperative tactics, bacteria continue to survive at the skin level and migrate to contaminate the wound.

A microbial sealant (InteguSEAL®, Kimberly-Clark) that uses cyanoacrylate to seal endogenous skin flora has demonstrated to reduce wound contamination. The efficacy of the microbial sealant in preventing SSI has been tested in cardiovascular surgery and open inguinal hernia repair, with a reduction on SSI rate when compared to standard skin preparations. This cyanoacrylate has not been tested in oncologic surgeries.

What participants receive

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

  • 2-octyl cyanoacrylate [InteguSEAL®]Device

    Also called InteguSEAL® (Kimberly Clark)

    At operating room arrival prior to surgery, povidone-iodine is applied on the skin surface on concentric circles as recommended; after drying, the cyanoacrylate device is opened and a layer of the sealant is applied on the incision and skin site(IS100 for patients undergoing mastectomy, and IS200 for patients undergoing gynecologic or digestive tract surgeries).

  • Iodine povacrylex in isopropyl alcohol [Duraprep®, 3M]Device

    Also called Duraprep® (3M)

    At the operating room arrival a few minutes before the incision, cleansing and skin antisepsis is done with the prefilled device with iodine povacrylex in isopropyl alcohol as recommended by 3M.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical site infection

    Patients we'll be followed prospectively by direct observation to evaluate if a surgical infection occurs. After 30 days of follow-up, patients will be classified as having or not a surgical site infection using the CDC criteria.

    Measured: 30-45 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cost analysis

    We'll be doing a cost-efectiveness analysis at the end of the study considering the treatment arm, complications developed from surgery to end of follow-up and costs for its treatment.

    Measured: 30-45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 2-octyl cyanoacrylate [InteguSEAL®] and Iodine povacrylex in isopropyl alcohol [Duraprep®, 3M] in people with Surgical Site Infection, run by National Institute of Cancerología at 1 site in Mexico.

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 5 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 27 Apr 2010. 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 Mexico. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Diana Vilar-Compte, MD, MsC (+52 555 628 0400 ext. 262, parakalomx@yahoo.com.mx), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surgical site infection (time frame: 30-45 days). 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 27 Apr 2010.
