Use of 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) in Neonatal Circumcision: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Phase 3

Recruiting

• Conditions: Redundant Prepuce
• Interventions: Drug: 2-octyl cyanoacrylate

• Registration Number: NCT04908137
• Lead Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children

Brief Summary

Study Description: 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) use in neonatal circumcision are being practiced to prevent complications; however, no randomized controlled trials was ever done to assess efficacy and safety. This is a single-centered, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application in neonatal circumcision to prevent complication.

Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application versus control in neonatal circumcision to prevent post-procedural complication.

Secondary Objectives:

1. To assess post-procedural pain score difference between with versus without 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application in neonatal circumcision

2. To assess parents' satisfaction and cosmesis post-neonatal circumcision with versus without 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application.

Endpoints: Primary Endpoint: Complication rates post-neonatal circumcision within 180 days with the following complication in specific or in composite ⦁ Bleeding requiring hemostatic intervention (suturing, dermabond application, silver nitrite application, pressure bandage)

* Infection requiring antibiotic administration or wound drainage

* Excess skin as assessed by parents satisfaction

* Meatal stenosis

* Adhesion requiring surgical correction.

Secondary Endpoints:

1. pain score within 5 min and 30 minutes postneonatal circumcision using the FLACC score by parents and MBPS scale by a medical allied personnel.

2. Parents satisfaction as determined by a simple 10-score liked scale and cosmesis assessment scale within 24hrs and within 30 days post-neonatal circumcision. Complication rates detailed above in specific time points clustered according to (within 24 hrs, within 2 weeks, within 30 days, within 30 to 180 days).

Study Population: 280 male neonates (140 each intervention groups) who are eligible for neonatal circumcision with no other medical co-morbidities.

Intervention:

2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) 0.5ml/ sticks) topical application around post-circumcision site subcoronal area.
