About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Study on the Clinical Benefits of OrthoPAT Drains for Adults Undergoing Multilevel Spine Surgery for Deformity

The examination of the ability of the OrthoPAT® blood collection device to decrease the transfusion rate and volume of adults undergoing posterior spine surgery for deformity correction of 6 levels or more.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of postoperative drains with blood salvage capabilities to determine if they decrease both the volume and rate of allogenic blood transfusion in adult patients undergoing multilevel spine surgery for deformity. In addition, the ability of these drains to decrease the complications that are associated with allogenic blood exposure (postoperative infection, volume overload and transfusion reactions) will also be evaluated.

Conditions
Spine Deformity
Being tested
OrthoPAT, Constavac

What participants receive

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

  • OrthoPATDevice

    OrthoPAT drain to collect and retransfuse postoperative blood loss. Drains will be removed 48 hours postoperatively

  • ConstavacDevice

    Constavac drain to collect postoperative blood loss. Drains will be removed 48 hours postoperatively

Study groups in NCT02286102
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
OrthoPATExperimentalPatients in the experimental group will receive OrthoPAT drains, which will be used to collect and retransfuse postoperative blood loss. Drains will be removed after 48 hours.
Receives: Device: OrthoPAT
ConstavacActive comparatorPatients identified as active comparator will receive standard Constavac drains, which will be removed after 48 hours.
Receives: Device: Constavac

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume of Allogenic Blood Transfused Postoperatively

    The total volume of allogenic blood transfused postoperatively will be measured during the first 48 hours postoperatively while the drains are in place.

    Measured: 48 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hemoglobin Levels, Post-Op Day 3

    Hemoglobin levels will be measured post-operatively day 3

    Measured: 3 days postop

  2. Hemoglobin Levels, Post-Op Day 2

    Hemoglobin levels will be measured post-operatively day 2

    Measured: 2 days postop

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OrthoPAT and Constavac in people with Spine Deformity, run by Hospital for Special Surgery, New York at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 29 Oct 2019. 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 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 25 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?

Volume of Allogenic Blood Transfused Postoperatively (time frame: 48 hours postoperative). 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 29 Oct 2019.
