What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Intra-Operative Hemostatic Interventions

    Incidence of hemostatic interventions/procedures completed for intra-operative bleeding related to the transection of the PA and PV during VATS lobectomy with the use of powered vascular stapler (PVS) defined as bleeding detected and controlled intraoperatively (additional stapling, over-sewing, clip placement, compression, use of suture, sealant, and/or buttress, and/or use of energy); or bleeding that occurs intra-operatively requiring blood or blood product transfusion or an additional surgical procedure (e.g. conversion to open).

    Measured: Intra-Operative

  2. Post-operative Interventions or Procedures Related to Pulmonary Artery or Pulmonary Vein Bleeding

    Incidence of hemostatic interventions /procedures completed for post-operative bleeding related to the transection of the PA and PV during VATS lobectomy with the use of PVS:

    • Hemostasis intervention: bleeding that occurs post-operatively requiring blood or blood product transfusion or an additional surgical procedure (related to PA and PV transection).

    No hemostasis intervention is defined as no interventions needed for post-operative bleeding (related to PA and PV transection).

    Measured: Post-op through 4 week follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy with powered vascular stapler in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Ethicon, Inc. 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 30 Jan 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2018). 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?

Incidence of Intra-Operative Hemostatic Interventions (time frame: Intra-Operative). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Jan 2019.
