Trial Outcomes & Findings for Progel® Pleural Air Leak Sealant (PALS) in Video and Robotic Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (NCT NCT01867658)

NCT ID: NCT01867658

Last Updated: 2017-03-29

Results Overview

The primary outcome of the study is the rate of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events at one month after surgery in subjects using Progel® PALS in a VATS/Robotic procedure. Endpoint analysis of the rate of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events will be based on the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudication of adverse events.

Participant Flow

Enrollment began in June 2013. 112 subjects were treated across 15 sites.

207 subjects were consented and 112 were treated with Progel® PALS. Of the subjects who were not treated, 69 failed to meet intra-operative inclusion criteria (54/94 screened video-assisted subjects and 15/87 screened robotic assisted subjects) and 11 did not have a video or robotics procedure performed (ie, converted to open thoracotomy)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One (1) month follow-up

Population: Number of subjects reflects subjects who have completed 1-month follow-up visit or had device/procedure related AE before discontinuation.

The primary outcome of the study is the rate of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events at one month after surgery in subjects using Progel® PALS in a VATS/Robotic procedure. Endpoint analysis of the rate of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events will be based on the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudication of adverse events.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and One (1) Month Follow-up

Population: MITT Population minus 19 subjects with missing data at either baseline or 1 month post-procedure.

The scale ranges from 0 (minimum score) to 100 (maximum) score. A higher the score represents a more favorable health rating. The SF-36 was completed at baseline before surgery and one month post index procedure; the change calculation for both mental and physical components is based on the difference in scores between these two time points.
