What participants receive

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

  • SygeLIX-F + SygeLIX-GBiological

    SygeLIX-F (plug) is inserted through the internal orifice while cryptoglandular space is filled by SygeLIX-G (gel).

Study groups in NCT05638139
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SygeLIX-F + SygeLIX-GExperimentalCombination of SygeLIX-F, a plug made of an assembly of umbilical cord lining and Wharton's jelly in the form of a cylinder of porous structure, and SygeLIX-G, a Wharton's jelly gel reconstituted in a syringe.
Receives: Biological: SygeLIX-F + SygeLIX-G

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of intensity of perineal inflammation following treatment

    Scoring of pain (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain possible), redness (0 = no redness, 4 = redness covering an area > 5 cm), edema (0 = no edema, 4 = area completely swollen), ulceration (0 = no ulceration, 4 = ulcer larger than 1 cm).

    Measured: Through study completion (45 days)

  2. Rate of plug expulsion and surgical revision due to complications

    Measured: Through study completion (45 days)

  3. Type and incidence of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE)

    Measured: Through study completion (45 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of surgical technique

    Questionnaire on surgical technique including ease of plug suture to the mucosa and of gel use.

    Measured: Time of investigational products surgical implantation (Day 0)

  2. Plug integration

    Assessment of anal continence by the Vaizey score (0 = perfect continence, 24 = totally incontinent).

    Measured: 30 days, 45 days

  3. Cessation of fistula flow

    Healing of the fistula orifices assessed by palpation and pinching.

    Measured: 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SygeLIX-F + SygeLIX-G in people with Anal Fistula, run by TBF Genie Tissulaire at 2 sites 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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Evaluation of intensity of perineal inflammation following treatment (time frame: Through study completion (45 days)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Nov 2024.
