Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Effectiveness of the Adherus Dural Sealant System When Used as a Dural Sealant in Cranial Procedures (NCT NCT01158378)

NCT ID: NCT01158378

Last Updated: 2014-04-08

Results Overview

The primary endpoint was a composite evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of Adherus for a cranial application. The endpoint was measured by the proportion of treated subjects who were free of all of the following incidences: * Intra-operative CSF leakage from dural repair after up to two Adherus / control applications during Valsalva maneuver up to 20cm H2O for up to 5 seconds. * CSF leak or pseudomeningocele diagnosed by physical examination, biochemical assay or imaging study during the 120-day follow-up period of the index procedure * Unplanned retreatment of the original surgical site adjudicated by the CEC to be device-related, including meningitis or the management of deep infection, minimally invasive procedures or return to the operating room for neurosurgical complications other than CSF leak or pseudomeningocele formation or those related to the subject's pre-existing condition, during the 120-day follow-up period.
