Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being conducted at Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd to evaluate the role of a novel Tracheo-Esophageal voice Prosthesis for total laryngectomy +/- partial pharyngectomy patients. 30 patients will be enrolled as an inpatient or outpatient.

Patients who are planned to undergo total laryngectomy +/- pharyngectomy surgery and trachea-esophageal puncture procedure.(for primary TEP insertion) or patients who have undergone total laryngectomy \> 6weeks prior and are suitable candidates for secondary TEP insertion would be recruited to the study. Insertion of the TEP will be done in primary setting or secondary setting. Patients, who are undergoing primary TEP insertion, will be evaluated for speech/ voice at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months after the procedure. Patients who are undergoing secondary TEP insertion to be evaluated on the same day of the procedure along with evaluation at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months. All the patients will be evaluated clinically for a fluid leak (through and around the TEP) on the same days of voice analysis by giving test feeds under supervision.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

A single group of patients undergoing the insertion of the prosthesis would be evaluated for voice quality and fluid leak as a measure of success of the intervention.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Modified Trans-Esophageal Prosthesis

Patients satisfying the selection criteria would be subjected to the insertion of the TEP and evaluated at subsequent time points for the success of the procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Modified Trans-Esophageal Prosthesis

Intervention Type DEVICE

This device is a biomedical grade silicon voice prosthesis with an inner esophageal flange, a stem and an outer tracheal flange. Insertion would be done through a modified 'romovac' inserter set / curved metal inserter (provided with the TEP) and an oesophagoscope in case of secondary insertion would be used. in patients with existing TEP puncture / who require a TEP change, on out-patient basis, the insertion would be done with a novel two-part inserter device (front loading)
