Evaluation of the Safety and Effectiveness of Sepraspray™ in Reducing Post-surgical Adhesions
Not Applicable
Terminated
- Conditions
- Abdominal Adhesions
- Registration Number
- NCT00665730
- Lead Sponsor
- Genzyme, a Sanofi Company
- Brief Summary
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of Sepraspray in the following model of abdominal surgery: total proctocolectomy and pelvic pouch with diverting ileostomy via laparotomy to treat ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis. Adhesion formation will be evaluated laparoscopically at ileostomy take down. NOTE: A decision was made to terminate this study in June 2008 due to low enrollment.
