What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative Bleeding

    Number of subjects who require intervention to stop intraoperative bleeding The analysis is based on the per protocol analysis set. Subjects who were misrandomized for excluded from this analysis therefore, the population here will differ from the participant flow.

    Measured: Day 0 - time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Post Operative Pain - (PI-NIRS)

    Post-operative pain as change from baseline pain score as measured by an 11-point Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS). The range of the scale is 0-10 with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst possible pain.

    The data represented is the change in baseline score at the different timepoints.

    Measured: Day 0 minus 60 (baseline), Day 0 (discharge), Day 0 plus 7, Day 0 plus 30, Day 0 plus 90, Day 0 plus 180

  2. Post-Operative Pain (Analgesic Intake)

    post operative pain measured in pos-surgical consumption of strong opioids by the number of participants in the study. Participants are included if they consumed analgesics or strong opiod at anytime during the study.

    Measured: Day 0, 1 week, 2 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month

  3. Overall Quality of Life - General Health Score

    Quality of life was measured by SF-12 questionnaire in change from baseline; the socring range is 0 - 100 with 0 = poor overall health and 100 = excellent overall health

    Measured: Day 0 minus 60, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  4. Location of the Staple Line

    Distance of staple line to dentate line as measure by surgical ruler

    Measured: Day 0

  5. Length of Stay

    Length of hospital stay is defined as time of anoscope insertion until discharge

    Measured: Day 0 time of discharge minus time of admission

  6. Operative Room (OR) Time

    Time of insertion of anoscope to time of anoscope removal after stapleline evaluation

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EEA Hemorrhoid and Prolapse Stapling Set and Endosurgery Proximate PPH03 Stapling Set in people with Hemorrhoids, run by Medtronic - MITG 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 11 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 29 Oct 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Intraoperative Bleeding (time frame: Day 0 - time of surgery). 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 29 Oct 2014.
