About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Reduction of Postoperative Surgical Site Infection in Patients Undergoing Colorectal and Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of surgical site infection between traditional wound care and negative pressure wound therapy. Wounds will be assessed 4-5 days after surgery and at the first clinic visit after surgery.

Being tested
Conventional wound therapy, Negative pressure wound therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Conventional wound therapyDevice

    Sterile bandages and wound coverings

  • Negative pressure wound therapyDevice

    Also called Prevena Incision Management System; ActiVAC

    The Prevena Incision Management System covers and protects the incision from external infectious sources, while negative pressure removes fluid and infectious material from the surgical incision. The ActiVAC pump may be used with the Prevena dressings as well in some situations to achieve negative pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With a Surgical Site Infection

    Number and percentage of participants with at least 1 surgical site infection (SSI).

    Measured: 30 days after surgery; assessed at 4-5 days and 30 days post-operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Surgical Site Infections by Type

    Each surgical site infection was classified into one of the following categories: superficial incisional, deep incisional, or organ/space (as defined by The American College of Surgeons NSQIP [National Surgical Quality Improvement Program] guidelines). The number of infections in each category is reported separately for both treatment arms. Some participants had multiple infections.

    Measured: 30 days post-surgery

  2. Length of Hospital Stay

    Assess (or compare) the length of hospital stay between subjects who receive standard of care and incisional V.A.C. via PIMS.

    Measured: Up to 62 days post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional wound therapy and Negative pressure wound therapy in people with Patients Undergoing Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, run by Duke University at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2022. 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 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 10 Oct 2022). 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?

Participants With a Surgical Site Infection (time frame: 30 days after surgery; assessed at 4-5 days and 30 days post-operation). 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 NCT01905397, 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?
