About this study

Official title: Can a Low Cost, Simple Needle-Aspirated Compression Dressing Reduce Surgical Site Infection Rates of Primarily Closed Ileostomy and Colostomy Reversal Wounds?

Negative pressure wound dressings have been studied and shown to have applications in decreasing rates of surgical wound infections. This study studies the effect of a low cost needle-aspirated negative pressure compression dressing on rates of wound infection at prior ostomy site in patients undergoing ostomy reversal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) will be studied in colorectal surgery patients undergoing ostomy reversal surgery. The immediate goal is to compare primary wound closure against primary closure with needle-aspirated compression dressing, and determine if risk of potential ostomy site wound infections is decreased. The investigators would also like to evaluate if this compression dressing can increase prevalence of complete wound closure by 12 weeks (last planned clinic visit). NPWT using a continuous suction device was shown to decrease surgical site infection (SSI) at ostomy reversal sites undergoing primary closure. There is a lack of published literature studying NPWT dressings without an associated suction device. The investigators will be using a low-cost simple needle-aspirated suction technique to provide negative pressure under a tegaderm/gauze dressing, at the time of placement. Patients will be consented and randomized into a negative pressure group, or a control group consisting of the same dressing under normal pressure. All adult patients undergoing ostomy reversal surgery who consent to the study will be included. Exclusion criteria include prior recurrent skin infections, prior stoma-site infection, or large parastomal hernia. Patients in the negative pressure group will have the pressure under the dressing measured immediately prior to removal on post-operative day 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Needle-Aspirated Negative Pressure Dressing in people with Colostomy Stoma and Ileostomy - Stoma, run by University of Southern California 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 17 Oct 2018. 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.

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?

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?

Surgical Site Infection (time frame: 30 days post procedure). 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 17 Oct 2018.
