Trial summary

The potential value of biological and biosynthetic meshes is their ability to integrate and remodel the wall in a contaminated environment in complex surgical situations. However, postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate for biologic prostheses are high. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multicenter Descriptive Study of Absorbable Biosynthetic Meshes in Contaminated Ventral Hernia Repair

The potential value of biological and biosynthetic meshes is their ability to integrate and remodel the wall in a contaminated environment in complex surgical situations. However, postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate for biologic prostheses are high. The delay to evaluate biosynthetic prostheses is not enough at present, and the high cost of biological prostheses requires a parsimonious use of this type of material. The interest of absorbable biosynthetic prostheses remains to be demonstrated in terms of postoperative complications and long-term recurrence. Current studies have been done on groups with few subjects and in clean surgery.

The primary purpose is to describe the number of complications of the operative site at 12 months, including infectious and noninfectious complications as hematoma and seroma type. The secondary purpose is to describe the number of recurrent ventral hernia at 12 months.

The ventral hernia repair is a frequent operation of general surgery. Thanks to this descriptive work considering the new therapeutic offer with absorbable polymers, it would make possible to update the knowledge of the surgeons and to bring new elements of discussion in the surgical decision.

What is being measured

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

  1. The main criterion will be clinical outcomes : complications and recurrence. It will be expressed in terms of complication according to the Clavien-Dindo classification

    Measured: Files analysed retrospectily from May 1st, 2016 to December 31, 2021 will be examined

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventral Hernia Repair, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 14 Dec 2021. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Benoît ROMAIN, MD (33 3 88 12 72 37, benoit.romain@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The main criterion will be clinical outcomes : complications and recurrence. It will be expressed in terms of complication according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (time frame: Files analysed retrospectily from May 1st, 2016 to December 31, 2021 will be examined). 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 NCT04132986, 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 14 Dec 2021.
