About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Investigation for a Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Non-inferiority Study Comparing Standard Wound Closure Technique With Drains (Control) to Standard Wound Closure Techniques With TissuGlu® and No Drains (Test) in Mastectomy

Comparing standard wound closure technique with drains (control) to standard wound closure techniques with TissuGlu® and no drains (test) in mastectomy

Read the detailed description

A prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter non-inferiority study comparing standard wound closure technique with drains (control) to standard wound closure techniques with TissuGlu® and no drains (test) in mastectomy. Patients will be enrolled for 90 Days from day of Surgery. It is expected that it will take 6-9 months for the full duration of the study including the 90 day follow up period.

What participants receive

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

  • Test - Standard Closure with TissuGlu Surgical AdhesiveDevice

    Patients randomized into the Test group, TissuGlu® will be applied to the chest wall after removal of the breast tissue using the custom applicator during a standard mastectomy procedure followed by normal wound closure (suturing technique) without drain placement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Post-Operative Clinical Interventions

    Clinical Intervention is defined as one of the following events:

    1. Removal of an in-dwelling drain (As defined in the Protocol);
    2. Needle aspiration to remove fluid from a Clinically-Relevant Seroma (As defined in the Protocol);
    3. Invasive action to the drain or drain wound such as repositioning or re-attaching the drain retention sutures;
    4. Reinsertion or insertion of a drain post operatively;
    5. Surgical procedures due to wound healing complications related to wound management

    Measured: from day 0 to day 90

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Wound healing related complications

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  2. Cumulative drain volume, aspiration volume, and total wound drainage (drain volume + aspiration volume)

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  3. Days to drain removal

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  4. Cumulative days of treatment (with drains or aspiration)

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  5. Days to discharge from hospital

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  6. Number of Clinically Relevant Seromas formation (number and aspiration volume)

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  7. Incidence and timing of initiation of adjuvant therapy related to the mastectomy procedure (such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy)

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

  8. Patient Benefit Questionnaire

    Measured: Day 1, 5, 14, 30, 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test - Standard Closure with TissuGlu Surgical Adhesive in people with Cancer, Breast, run by Cohera Medical, Inc. at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 10 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 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United Kingdom, Germany. 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 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?

Number of Post-Operative Clinical Interventions (time frame: from day 0 to day 90). 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 Mar 2018.
