About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Non-inferiority Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Hemopatch Compared to TachoSil in Preventing or Reducing Postoperative Air Leaks After Pulmonary Resection

This study is a randomized, controlled study, with the primary objective to demonstrate non-inferiority of Hemopatch compared to TachoSil in postoperative air leak duration after pulmonary resection, and with the secondary objective of evaluating the safety of Hemopatch compared to TachoSil.

Being tested
Hemopatch, Tachosil

What participants receive

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

  • HemopatchDevice

    Applied according to the current instruction for use (IFU). According to the IFU, a maximum of 7 Hemopatch 45 x 90 mm patches can be used in adults.

  • TachosilDevice

    Applied according to the current instruction for use (IFU).

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of postoperative air leakage

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Incidence of intraoperative treatment failure

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Incidence of patients with prolonged air leakage defined as air leakage > 5 Days

    Measured: Day 5 to Day 30

  3. Number of additional procedures needed

    Type of procedures include chest drainage, re-operation, respiratory assistance, and blood transfusion

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

  4. Time to chest tube removal

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

  5. Time in surgery (minutes) from incision to closure

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Length of stay in hospital (days)

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

  7. Number of unplanned interventions

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

  8. Incidence of pre-defined postoperative Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    Pre-defined AEs include Pneumothorax, Bronchopleural fistula, Emphysema (subcutaneous and mediastinal), Pleural effusions, Postoperative respiratory failure, Empyema, Allergic reactions in reasonable temporal relationship with the product application

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 30

  9. Number of patches used intra-operatively

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hemopatch and Tachosil in people with Air Leak From Lung, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation at 14 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 6 inclusion and 17 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 6 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Italy, Spain. 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?

Duration of postoperative air leakage (time frame: Day 1 to Day 30). 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 6 Apr 2020.
