Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Seal-G MIST System in reinforcing colorectal anastomosis, in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery.

Detailed Description

Study procedures:

Pre-surgery:

  • Screening will be performed among adult subjects who are scheduled for an elective colorectal surgery. Once potential eligibility to the study is determined based on the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria, study procedures will be explained to the candidate and participation will be offered.
  • Informed consent process.
  • Pre-surgery assessments will be according to the routine practice at the site and determined by the treating physician.

Intra-operative:

  • During the surgery, after confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria, completion of anastomosis creation and only after leak test was performed , subjects will be allocated to one of the two treatment arms with a 1:1 ratio based on a randomization scheme (either to the Standard of care (SOC) or to Seal-G MIST arms).
  • Device (Seal-G MIST System) application (to Seal-G MIST treatment arm only).

Masking Description

This study is single blinded. The subject will be blinded to the treatment arm; however, by nature of the type of the proposed study, blinding of the investigator/ surgeon is not feasible. In order to minimize bias, subjects will be randomized during the surgery upon confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria. This will ensure that the surgeon will not know prior to surgery and until completion of anastomosis creation, whether or not Seal-G MIST will be used.

  • Subject participating in any other study involving an investigational (unapproved) drug or device
  • Woman who is known to be pregnant or breast-feeding or woman who is planning pregnancy or breast-feeding in the 5 next months
  • Vulnerable subjects (e.g. mentally handicapped, prisoners, etc.)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of overall subject pre-specified* procedure related Adverse Events

Time Frame: up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery

Pre-specified procedure related Adverse Event: Wound infection; Bowel obstruction and Post-operative ileus; Anastomotic stricture; Anastomotic leak; Collection/Abscess; Urinary retention/Urinary Tract Infection; Renal failure; Hepatic failure; Peritoneal metastasis; Staple-line bleeding; Allergic reaction; Re-intervention (Including but not limited to re-operation; stoma).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Incidence of reoperation(up to 30 days post-surgery)
  • Incidence of postoperative mortality(up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks))
  • Incidence of clinical anastomotic leaks(up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery)
  • Incidence of subclinical/ radiological leaks(up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery)
  • Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) complications(up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery)
  • Hospital length of stay(From date of surgery until the time for "Ready to be discharged" (in days), an average of 10±4 days)
