About this study

Official title: Effect of Intraperitoneal Irrigation With Antibiotic Solution, Triclosan-impregnated Sutures for Fascial Closure and Mupirocin Ointment Over the Skin Staples, on Surgical-site Infection After Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

A prospective randomized clinical trial will be performed. Patients will be randomized in 2 groups. The experimental group will undergo the combined application of intraperitoneal irrigation with clindamycin and gentamicin solution, fascial closure with Triclosan-impregnated sutures and application of mupirocin ointment over the skin staples, in addition to the standard care measures. The control group undergo only the standard care measures.

Incisional surgical-site infection will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized clinical trial will be performed. Patients will be randomized in 2 groups. The experimental group will undergo the combined application of intraperitoneal irrigation with clindamycin (600mg) and gentamicin (240 mg) solution in 250 ml of normal saline, fascial closure with Triclosan-impregnated polyglactin suture and application of mupirocin ointment over the skin staples, in addition to the standard care measures. The control group undergo only the standard care measures, including decontamination of the skin during surgery with chlorhexidine alcohol solution, administration of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis and application of thermal blanket to avoid hypothermia. In the control group, the fascial closure will be performed with a polyglactin suture (without Triclosan impregnation).

Incisional surgical-site infection will be investigated.

What participants receive

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

  • BundleDrug

    Also called Combination of 3 measures for SSI prevention

    Combination of antibiotic intraperitoneal irrigation with gentamicin and clindamycin solution, use of Triclosan-impregnated sutures and mupirocin application over the skin staples.

  • Standard careProcedure or surgery

    Also called Standard care measures for SSI prevention

    Standard care measures include decontamination of the skin during surgery with chlorhexidine alcohol solution, administration of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis and application of thermal blanket to avoid hypothermia. In the standard care protocol, the fascial closure will be performed with a polyglactin suture (without Triclosan impregnation).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bundle in people with Surgical Site Infection, run by Hospital General Universitario Elche 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2017. 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 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 Jaime Ruiz-Tovar ((0034)630534808, jruiztovar@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incisional surgical site infection (time frame: 30 days postoperatively). 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 NCT03081962, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2017.
