About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Single-Blind, Prospective Randomized Post-Approval Study Comparing the Safety and Effectiveness of CraniSeal Dural Sealant to DuraSeal Dural Sealant for Dural Sealing in Elective Cranial Surgery
To collect post-approval data comparing the safety and effectiveness of CraniSeal Dural Sealant to DuraSeal Dural Sealant. The study has been powered specifically to determine whether the CraniSeal device when used as an adjunct to sutured dural closure following elective cranial surgery is no worse than (i.e., non-inferior) to the DuraSeal device with respect to proportion of subjects free from post-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Additional safety outcomes (i.e., surgical site infections and adverse events/device-related adverse events) will also be captured and compared.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing CraniSeal and DuraSeal in people with Leak, Cerebrospinal Fluid, run by Pramand LLC at 8 sites 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?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact M Pace (6172335873, mike.pace@pramandllc.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Absence of CSF Leaks (time frame: 90 days). 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 20 Feb 2026.
