About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study Comparing Endostaplers in Sleeve Gastrectomy

The goal of this prospective, post-market study is to measure AEON™ Endostapler performance for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery versus the Endo GIA™ Reloads with Tri-Staple™ Technology from Medtronic.

Read the detailed description

Stapler performance will be evaluated primarily by incidence and degree of staple line bleeding from endoscopic images, evaluated by a blinded third-party. The study will include 60 total consecutive cases of individuals undergoing a planned laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The LSG procedure will be performed according to institutional standard-of-care and all subjects will undergo standard preoperative evaluation as well as post-operative care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative Endoscopic Staple Line Bleeding Score

    Intraoperative staple line bleeding score from endoscopic images as measured by the provided Bleeding Severity Scale (1 = No bleeding; 2 = Minimal bleeding; 3= Moderate bleeding; 4 = Excessive bleeding; 5 = Profuse bleeding). A lower value represents a better outcome.

    Measured: Within surgery, after the last stapler firing

  2. Intraoperative Laparoscopic Staple Line Bleeding Score

    Intraoperative staple line bleeding score from laparoscopic images as measured by the provided Bleeding Severity Scale (1 = No bleeding; 2 = Minimal bleeding; 3= Moderate bleeding; 4 = Excessive bleeding; 5 = Profuse bleeding). A lower value represents a better outcome.

    Measured: Within surgery, images captured 10 seconds after the last stapler firing

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Postoperative Leakage Requiring Intervention

    Number of participants with postoperative leakage requiring intervention

    Measured: Within 30-day post-operative period

  2. Number of Participants With Intraoperative or Postoperative Blood Transfusion

    Number of participants with intraoperative or postoperative blood transfusion

    Measured: Within 72 hours of surgery start time

  3. Number of Participants With Reported Device-related Adverse Events

    Number of participants with reported device-related adverse events

    Measured: Within 30-day post-operative period

  4. Number of Participants With Product Malfunction

    Number of participants with product malfunction. Product malfunction means any occurrence during the surgery where the stapler does not perform as intended.

    Measured: Within surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Lexington Medical Inc. at 1 site 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 9 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 22 Oct 2021. 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 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 22 Oct 2021). 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?

Intraoperative Endoscopic Staple Line Bleeding Score (time frame: Within surgery, after the last stapler firing). 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 22 Oct 2021.
