About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial Between Buttressed and Non Buttressed Stapling in Pulmonary Lobectomy

The objective of this study is to confirm superiority between a test treatment group using Endo GIA stapler with Duet Tissue Reinforcement System (TRS) and a current international standard of care group using a conventional stapler in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy surgery, using a randomized comparative study of the frequency of intraoperative air leak.

Read the detailed description

Air leak is a complication of pulmonary surgical procedures that include pulmonary lobectomy, segmentectomy, and bullectomy, reported to occur in 33% to 75% of cases.

Prolonged air leak continuing for more than 7 days is reported to have a prevalence of greater than 15%. The presence of a history of smoking, preoperative steroid use, emphysema, low pulmonary function, pleural adhesion, and apical lung wedge resection are shown to be risk factors for prolonged air leak which lengthens the duration of drain placement, increases the days of hospitalization, and reduces patient ADL and QOL. Prolonged air leak may also result in serious complications, such as empyema.

Tissue reinforcement materials widely used as a pleural reinforcement to prevent air leaks during lung surgery, and are reported as a safe and effective material for body tissue reinforcement. Covidien Japan Inc. has developed a surgical stapler (Endo GIA Duet TRS) with an attached reinforcement material. This study will investigate the reinforcement effect on the staple line of using the newly developed surgical stapler with an attached reinforcement material.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of intraoperative air leak

    Occurence of intraoperative air leak will vary from patient to patient and will be recorded for all patients.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Postoperative duration of air leak

    Duration of air leak will vary from patient to patient. Published literature states a duration of greater than 7 days occurs in 15% of patients.

    Measured: Month 1 (Average time period)

  2. Duration of chest drainage

    Duration of chest drainage will vary from patient to patient.

    Measured: Month 1 (Average time period)

  3. Frequency of intraoperative sealant use

    The need to use a sealant intraoperatively will be assessed for each patient during surgery.

    Measured: Day 0

  4. Incidence of intraoperative adverse events

    The occurence of adverse events during surgery will be recorded for each patient.

    Measured: Day 0

  5. Incidence of postoperative adverse events

    Patients are not required to return to the clinic at a specific time point. Any adverse events that occur after discharge will be captured.

    Measured: Month 1 (Average time period)

  6. Days of hospitalization

    Discharge date will vary from patient to patient

    Measured: Month 1 (Average time period)

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Why it stopped: Covidien is conducting a voluntary recall of DuetTRS™ use in the thoracic cavity. IFU is revised to contraindicate use in adult and pediatric thoracic surgeries

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Duet TRS and Endo GIA in people with Lung Disease, run by Medtronic - MITG at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2012. 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 Japan. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Covidien is conducting a voluntary recall of DuetTRS™ use in the thoracic cavity. IFU is revised to contraindicate use in adult and pediatric thoracic surgeries). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Frequency of intraoperative air leak (time frame: Day 0). 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 24 Jan 2012.
