About this study

Official title: AirTight: A Prospective Controlled Post-Approval Study of NeoMend ProGEL™ Pleural Air Leak Sealant in the Treatment of Visible Pleural Air Leaks After Standard Pleural Closure

Read the detailed description

Patients having open thoracotomy involving lung resection surgery will be considered for the study. Subjects will be examined for adverse events and complications from either the treatment or the procedure. Follow-up visits are required at 30 days and 90 days after the surgery.

Conditions: Lung Cancer, Lung Tumor
Being tested: Control, ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant with standard surgical closure, ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant without standard surgical closure
Keywords: Pleural air leak, Pulmonary resection, Open thoracotomy
Medical subject headings: Lung Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

ControlOther
Standard surgical techniques including staples and sutures.
ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant with standard surgical closureDevice
ProGEL is a single-use medical device that is formed as a result of mixing two components: (1) a solution of human serum albumin (HSA) and (2) a synthetic cross-linking component of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Standard closure means, for example, suturing or stapling of visible air leaks incurred during resection of lung parenchyma.
ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant without standard surgical closureDevice
ProGEL is a single-use medical device that is formed as a result of mixing two components: (1) a solution of human serum albumin (HSA) and (2) a synthetic cross-linking component of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Standard closure means, for example, suturing or stapling of visible air leaks incurred during resection of lung parenchyma.

Population analysed: Units analyzed represents the number of adverse events that occurred among all study participants in each arm. Also, the original Protocol was designed to study ProGel (any usage) versus no ProGel. After the study was completed, the FDA requested that the ProGel group be broken out by patients with standard closure, and without.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety Endpoints (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT01394978.

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 15 Jul 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
