About this study

Official title: Seal-G MIST System Safety Study [SEALAR Study]

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Seal-G MIST System in reinforcing colorectal anastomosis, in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Study procedures:

Pre-surgery:

  • Screening will be performed among adult subjects who are scheduled for an elective colorectal surgery. Once potential eligibility to the study is determined based on the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria, study procedures will be explained to the candidate and participation will be offered.
  • Informed consent process.
  • Pre-surgery assessments will be according to the routine practice at the site and determined by the treating physician.

Intra-operative:

  • During the surgery, after confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria, completion of anastomosis creation and only after leak test was performed , subjects will be allocated to one of the two treatment arms with a 1:1 ratio based on a randomization scheme (either to the Standard of care (SOC) or to Seal-G MIST arms).
  • Device (Seal-G MIST System) application (to Seal-G MIST treatment arm only).

Post-operative follow-up:

  • Subjects will be followed during post-operative period until discharge from the hospital for clinical and subclinical leaks according to the SOC.
  • In an event of suspected anastomotic leak, patient will be treated according to severity of leak and PI clinical judgement (conservative treatment, drainage, diversion, anastomosis take down).
  • Subjects will be followed up for leaks and related AE/SAEs at the day of the surgery and for a period of 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery, including the following activities:
  • Daily while hospitalized (in accordance with the site routine procedures)
  • At 1 month (±1 week) and 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery (Hospitalization for elective procedure (i.e. chemotherapy treatments) will not be considered as SAEs)
Being tested
Seal-G MIST System
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Seal-G MIST SystemDevice

    Also called Seal-G MIST

    Seal-G MIST is an adjunct device that will be applied adjunctively to cover standard closure techniques.

Study groups in NCT03448874
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Seal-G MIST SystemExperimentalSeal-G MIST System is a surgical sealant that will be applied adjunctively to standard closure techniques for reinforcement and protection of gastrointestinal anastomoses.
Receives: Device: Seal-G MIST System
Standard of careNo interventionPatients in the control arm will receive the standard of care [SOC] for colorectal resection surgery with primary anastomosis (no additional intervention)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of overall subject pre-specified* procedure related Adverse Events

    Pre-specified procedure related Adverse Event: Wound infection; Bowel obstruction and Post-operative ileus; Anastomotic stricture; Anastomotic leak; Collection/Abscess; Urinary retention/Urinary Tract Infection; Renal failure; Hepatic failure; Peritoneal metastasis; Staple-line bleeding; Allergic reaction; Re-intervention (Including but not limited to re-operation; stoma).

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of clinical anastomotic leaks

    Anastomotic leak (AL) is defined as evidence of a defect in the intestinal wall integrity at the anastomotic site leading to local or general peritonitis, abscesses in the proximity of the anastomosis and/or fistula, fecal or purulent discharge from drains.

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

  2. Incidence of subclinical/ radiological leaks

    As assessed from Adverse event/Serious Adverse Event reporting form

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

  3. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) complications

    According to Serious Adverse Event (SAE) definition from Medical Device Directive (MEDDEV 2.7/3, Rev 3, May 2015)

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

  4. Incidence of collection/abscess without demonstrated leak

    According to Adverse event reporting form

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

  5. Incidence of reoperation

    According to Adverse event/Serious Adverse Event reporting form

    Measured: up to 30 days post-surgery

  6. Incidence of postoperative mortality

    Measured: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks)

  7. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: From date of surgery until the time for "Ready to be discharged" (in days), an average of 10±4 days

  8. Incidence of "deployment failure"

    only for treatment arm

    Measured: during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Seal-G MIST System in people with Colorectal Cancer and Diverticulitis Colon, run by Sealantis Ltd..

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 3 inclusion and 19 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Incidence of overall subject pre-specified* procedure related Adverse Events (time frame: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery). 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 30 Jul 2020.
