Using bioabsorbable staples to improve surgery outcomes for rectal and lung cancer

A Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Using Cingular Bovine Pericardium Anastomosis Reinforcement Membrane for Tissue Reinforcement and Hemostasis at Anastomotic Sites

Phase 3 Interventional Shanghai Cingularbio Co. Ltd · NCT06968221

This study is testing if using special dissolvable staples during stomach, colorectal, and lung surgeries can help patients have fewer complications after their operations compared to regular staples.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a bioabsorbable staple line reinforcement material in comparison to standard stapling techniques during stomach, colorectal, and lung surgeries. It is a randomized, prospective multicenter study aimed at reducing postoperative complications such as hemorrhage and anastomotic leakage. Participants will be monitored for outcomes related to these complications following their surgeries. The study seeks to determine if the new reinforcement material can provide better surgical results.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients scheduled for stapled stomach or colorectal surgeries who can provide informed consent.

Not a fit: Patients with significant intraoperative complications, collagen vascular diseases, or uncontrolled infections may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce postoperative complications for patients undergoing surgery for rectal and lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of bioabsorbable materials in surgical procedures is gaining interest, this specific application in colorectal and lung surgeries is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
