About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparative Study on Proseal LMATM and Supreme LMATM for Bariatric Surgery.

Obese people pose specific problems as far as the management of airway during surgery. The study aims to compare efficacy and safety of two LMA devices.

Read the detailed description

The study will investigate two types of LMA devices endowed of different constructive features. The two devices share common features as far as providing access to the stomach and reducing morbidity of the upper airway. The two device differ in regard to ease of insertion and sealing of the airway and these features are particularly important in the obese patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ProSeal and Supreme LMA in people with Morbid Obesity, run by University of Padova at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 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 Italy. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Michele Carron, MD (+39 049 821 3090, michele.carron@unipd.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

oropharyngeal leak pressure (time frame: intraoperatively, up to 3 hours). 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 12 Nov 2012.
