Bedside Silo Versus Operative Closure for Gastroschisis
A study testing Bedside Silo and Operative attempt at closure in people with Gastroschisis, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The hypothesis is that there is no difference between bedside silo placement and operative closure in return of bowel function, ventilator dependence, or length of stay. The primary outcome variable between the two techniques will be determined from this study that can then be used to develop a definitive study. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Bedside Silo Versus Attempted Operative Closure for Gastroschisis: A Pilot Study
The hypothesis is that there is no difference between bedside silo placement and operative closure in return of bowel function, ventilator dependence, or length of stay.
The primary outcome variable between the two techniques will be determined from this study that can then be used to develop a definitive study. The likely variables will be length of time to meet discharge criteria, length of hospitalization, time to full feedings, time on mechanical ventilation and total hospital charges.
Read the detailed description
A strategy of blocked randomization will be utilized. The randomization will be blocked in groups of 4. Randomization sequence will be kept by the principal investigator. After permission is obtained, the next assignment will be obtained. This method assures that the physician obtaining permission will be blind to the treatment group.
The treatment groups will consist of the same medical management, feeding regimen and discharge criteria.
The interventions will be either bedside silo or operative attempt at closure. During attempt at primary closure, the abdomen will be closed completely if the staff anesthesiologist and surgeon agree the belly is not too tight based on ventilatory parameters, vital signs and appearance. If either the surgeon or anesthesiologist should feel the closed abdomen is too tight, a ringed silo will be placed in the operating room, the same silo used in the bedside treatment arm, and the child will continue in the study. When a silo is placed either in the operating room due to inability to close the abdomen or at the bedside, they will be managed the same way. The skin will be dressed in the standard fashion (betadine jelly, xeroform and kerlix). The dressing allows visualization of the bowel. No reductions will be done the day of placement. After one night of observation a tie will be gently placed to apply downward pressure on the bowel. This pressure will not be allowed to increase the peak ventilator pressure by more than 2 cm H2O. One tie will be placed each subsequent day until the tie is within 2 cm of the skin at which point the patient will be scheduled for operative closure the day following the placement of the tie.
The medical management is controlled for resuscitation, sedation, ventilation and feeding between groups.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The hypothesis is that there is no difference between bedside silo placement and operative closure in return of bowel function, ventilator dependence, or length of stay.
The primary outcome variable between the two techniques will be determined from this study that can then be used to develop a definitive study. The likely variables will be length of time to meet discharge criteria, length of hospitalization, time to full feedings, time on mechanical ventilation and total hospital charges.

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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2016. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Change in referral pattern changed the population we were studying). 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?
this is a pilot study therefore there is no primary outcome variable (time frame: 1 year). 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 28 Jan 2016.
