Trial summary

The use of regenerative medicine in colorectal surgery constitutes an entirely new therapeutic principle. The aim of this new therapeutic approach is to reduce the anastomotic leak rate and minimise morbidity and mortality. The literature identifies the leak rate for colorectal operations as 3-39%.

Official title: Impact of Obsidian® ASG Autologous Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix on Anastomotic Healing in Colorectal Surgery

The use of regenerative medicine in colorectal surgery constitutes an entirely new therapeutic principle. The aim of this new therapeutic approach is to reduce the anastomotic leak rate and minimise morbidity and mortality. The literature identifies the leak rate for colorectal operations as 3-39%.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

The use of regenerative medicine in colorectal surgery constitutes an entirely new therapeutic principle. The aim of this new therapeutic approach is to reduce the anastomotic leak rate and minimise morbidity and mortality. The literature identifies the leak rate for colorectal operations as 3-39%.

Methods:

This is a prospective, multi-centre descriptive study commencing in June 2018. As part of the elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery, an autologous fibrin matrix was used as part of anastomotic technique in conjunction with activated thrombocytes (Obsidian ASG®). During anastomosis, this matrix was applied after resection onto the colorectal tissue surfaces with the aim of triggering tissue regeneration and improved wound healing.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anastomotic Leak Rectum, run by Kepler University Hospital at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 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 5 Oct 2023. 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 Austria. 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?

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?

Anastomotic leak rate (time frame: 20 days). 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 NCT04386148, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 5 Oct 2023.
