About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial to Prevent Air Leaks After Lung Resection With Hemopatch™ Sealing Hemostat: SEALLS (Sealing Evaluation of Air Leaks After Lung Surgery) Trial

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of HEMOPATCH™ Sealing Hemostat in reducing the incidence and duration of air leaks after lung resection compared to standard techniques.

Hypothesis: "The routine application of HEMOPATCH Sealing Hemostat on the visceral pleura in lung resection areas, during lung resection procedures, is more EFFICIENT to reduce the incidence and duration of prolonged air leaks as compared to standard surgical measures."

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hemopatch™ Sealing Hemostat and Standard surgical technique in people with LUNG DISEASES, run by Quirón Madrid University Hospital at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 4 Sep 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 Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Duration of postoperative air leaks (time frame: Within first 30 postoperative 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 4 Sep 2019.
