About this study

Official title: Use of a Quick Skin Sealant in Prevention of Surgical Site Infection After Laparoscopic Tumor Resection

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effect of sealant-assisted skin closure in prevention of surgical site infection after laparoscopic surgery.

Read the detailed description
  • Study design: A prospective cohort study
  • Populations: Patients who have confirmed diagnosis of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), inflammatory bowel disease and diverticula decide to receive laparoscopic surgery.
  • Surgical techniques: laparoscopic operations should be successfully performed with a 3-4 cm minimal incision left for sample retrieval. In all, about five trocar-associated mini incisions and a sample-retrieval incision would be left prior to skin closure.
  • Skin closure: A quick skin sealant would be applied to achieve a seal, without any suture made under the skin.
  • Postoperative treatment: An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) bundles would be applied for enrolled subjects. As for wound management, additional wound cares are not required. Patients can take shower at postoperative day 3 (POD3).
  • Primary endpoint: The primary study endpoint is freedom from surgical site infection (SSI) within 30 days. The incidence of surgical site infection with the first 30 days after surgery would be explored.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Various laparoscopic operations are performed for participants. Once all surgical procedures are successfully applied, surgical wounds which are associated with laparoscopic surgery would be sealed by a quick sealant. In all, the following surgical wounds would be left:

    • 4-5 trocar-produced incisions (5/10mm, minor incision)
    • 1 sample-retrieval incision (4-5cm, small incision)
  • Skin sealantDevice

    Also called Skin adhesive

    After surgery, a quick skin sealant is applied in two layers of each wound to achieve skin closure. The sealant would be smeared twice on the wound area with 30 seconds of dry time required to form a firm seal.

Study groups in NCT02426762
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sealant skin closureExperimentalA quick skin sealant would be applied after laparoscopic surgery. All abdominal wounds are sealed by smearing the quick sealant (skin adhesive) twice. No additional gauges should be appended on wound areas. No further wound care should be applied unless any effusion or bleeding emerged around it.
Receives: Procedure: Laparoscopic surgery; Device: Skin sealant

What is being measured

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

  1. freedom from surgical site infection

    The study endpoint should be freedom from superficial surgical site infection (SSI) or deep SSI as defined by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance criteria.

    Measured: within the first 30 days after laparoscopic surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of hospital stay

    All participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

    Measured: an expected average of 4 weeks

  2. Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale

    Postoperative pain would be recorded.

    Measured: within the first 30 days after laparoscopic surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laparoscopic surgery and Skin sealant in people with Complications of Surgical Procedures and Surgical Site Infection, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2015. 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 China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yujie Yuan, MD (+8615018492852, condor.yyj@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

freedom from surgical site infection (time frame: within the first 30 days after laparoscopic 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 13 Aug 2015.
