Brief Summary

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

This study is a randomized single blinded prospective clinical trial comparing the surgical outcomes of four different acellular dermal matrixes (ADMs) after primary breast reconstruction. ADMs are used in conjunction with tissue expanders or breast implants to reinforce the recreated breast pocket. Currently, 4 different ADMS are commercially available: AlloDerm, DermaCell, Allomax and Flex HD. It is unclear which ADM is clinically superior. The objective of the study is to compare the complications and post-op care of 4 different ADMs within a 2 year follow up to elucidate their surgical outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a randomized control trial and will include all patients who are agreeable and deemed appropriate for alloplastic breast reconstruction involving the use of an ADM with two stage tissue expander (TE) reconstruction. The ADMs used will be determined by random assignment to one of four available products being utilized within the study: AlloDerm, AlloMax, DermACELL and FlexHD. Each ADM product will comprise of an individual treatment arm. Participants undergoing bilateral reconstruction will have the same ADM used in each side. The four treatment arms will be compared to assess their impact on our primary outcome: proportion of clinically significant post-operative seroma requiring intervention. Analysis will be performed per surgeon to prevent post-operative outcomes from being confounded by the principle operator. The trial will initially be conducted as an internal pilot study. The study will initially target a study population of 40 patients for recruitment as a means to assess the feasibility of the study. In doing this, the pilot study will be able to establish the necessary protocol and administrative infrastructure that is needed to complete the trial in its entirety. This create a sample population for initial outcomes.

Participants

Treatment information will be non-blinded to the surgical staff who will then proceed to order the appropriate ADM product to be available at the time of the study participants scheduled breast reconstruction. Additionally, randomization will occur independently for each surgeon prevent bias from arising as a result of the surgeon performing the reconstruction.
