General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of the anti-adhesion kit (AA) AdhexilTM for the prevention and/or reduction of post-operative adhesions in patients who are undergoing a surgical procedure involving the ovaries.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Prior to study participation, the procedures and any known or likely risks were explained to the subject by the investigator or other medically qualified co-investigator. An informed consent form was provided containing all the required information. Any questions were answered and the subject was then given sufficient time to consider their participation in the study before signing the consent form.
The investigator (or designee) explained to subjects that they were completely free to refuse to enter the study, or to withdraw from it at any time, without any consequences for their further care and without the need to justify their decision.
Subjects were made aware that all information would be treated confidentially, and they would be identified by a study code.
|
||
Background therapy |
In both the US and EU, several products are marketed for reduction of post-operative adhesions but all have limitations. An ideal adhesion barrier should be non reactive, but protect tissue at risk during the critical wound healing period before being absorbed and cleared, it should remain adherent to the target tissue even in the presence of bleeding and it should be easy to apply during laparoscopic procedures performed on adhesiogenic organs such as ovaries and adnexa. The potential of a variety of materials to reduce the occurrence and severity of adhesion formation has been investigated. This has included agents that affect adhesion formation at various levels, such as fibrinolytic agents, anti inflammatory, antibiotics and mechanical barriers (films, gels and liquids absorbable and non-absorbable). Many of the products developed have been difficult to use in open surgery, and particularly in laparoscopic settings. Adhexil™ anti-adhesion kit consists of the components required to form a protective fibrin polymer together with an application device. The components that form the fibrin polymer, Biological Active Component (BAC) and Thrombin, are human blood derivatives. | ||
Evidence for comparator |
There was no active comparator used in this study. All subjects had their 1st ovary treated with Adhexil and compared to the 2nd ovary which did not receive any treatment. | ||

Recruitment
|
||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
First Subject Enrolled: 23-Oct-07; Last Subject Enrolled: 16-Jul-08, Completed: 29-Aug-08. Each subject enrolled had one ovary treated with Adhexil and other ovary untreated. Thus 17 enrolled subjects resulted in 34 evaluable (17 treated & 17 untreated) ovaries. One subject withdrew after completing index procedure resulting in 32 evaluable ovaries | |||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|

Screening details |
Prospective subjects were screened within 21 days prior to surgery. Prior to any study related procedures, subjects were fully informed of all aspects of the study and asked to sign a consent form. | |||||||||||||||

Blinding implementation details |
Due to the nature of the investigational product in this study, it was not possible for the surgeon to be blinded to treatment. The subject was blinded to treatment received. To avoid any bias in the assessment of incidence, extent and severity of adhesions, both 1st Look Laparoscopy (1LL) and 2nd Look Laparoscopy (2LL) surgeries were recorded on DVD and evaluated by a blinded independent surgeon. The proficiency of Adhexil application was also evaluated by a blinded reviewer.

The amount of Adhexil™ required depended upon the area and location of the site to be treated. Adhexil™ was to be applied so that it extended 1-2 cm beyond the margins of the raw surface. The remaining volume of the kit was then to be applied to the entire assigned ovary and the raw surfaces of adjacent structures at the surgeon’s discretion. It was intended that in most cases, the maximum of 10 mL of Adhexil™ would be applied. Note: Adhexil treatment was applied to 1 of the 2 ovaries of each subject following a randomised assignment.

Secondary Assessment of Efficacy Endpoint
If an adhesion was also present (at the same site) at 1st Look Laparoscopy then the 2nd Look Laparoscopy adhesion will be considered as a reformed adhesion. If at 1st Look Laparoscopy, surgery was performed (other than adhesiolysis) at that site then the reformed adhesion is categorized as “2b”. If no surgery (other than adhesiolysis) was performed at that site then the reformed adhesion is categorized as “2a”.

06 Jul 2007 |
Amendments Requested by Spain
Version ‘Final 2.0 Amendment 1.1’, dated 6 July 2007, incorporated the following changes:
• It was clarified that the 2LL visit would only be performed if it was the investigator's opinion that this second look was in the best interest of the subject.
• Physical examination and measurement of vital signs added to the baseline visit.
• Gynecological examination was included in the physical examination at the screening visit and at the "within 72 hours prior to 2LL visit."
• It was clarified that the elective surgery to be undertaken was to be for subjects with known or suspected bilateral ovarian disease.
• It was clarified that in the case of a device malfunction, a replacement kit of Adhexil™ could be used. In this situation the total amount of Adhexil™ applied should be approximately 10 mL.
• The observation period following initial application of Adhexil™ was extended from 2 minutes to 15 minutes to allow the investigator to assess whether a layer of Adhexil™ had been formed. In addition, it was instructed that during this observation period an air flow was to be maintained to allow the treated surfaces to dry.
• The text in the subject information sheet was changed from " Adhexil™ and both laparoscopic procedures will be provided to you free of charge." to read " Adhexil™ and all study specific procedures including the second laparoscopic procedure will be provided to you free of charge." |
||||||
17 Jul 2007 |
Amendments Requested by Germany
Version ‘Final 2.0 Amendment 2’, dated 17 July 2007, incorporated the following changes:
• The provision for unopened vials of Adhexil™ to be left at room temperature for up to 24 hours was deleted.
• The protocol statement that the investigational product, once aspirated into the application device, was to be used within 4 hours was changed to state that the product was to be used immediately. |
||||||
02 Oct 2007 |
Version ‘Final 2.0 IRB Amendment’, dated 02 October 2007, incorporated the following changes:
• The title of the protocol was changed to "A prospective controlled randomized, multicenter exploratory pilot study evaluating the safety and potential trends in efficacy of Adhexil™ "
• An inclusion criterion was added: "Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists class I (excluding those with a risk of anesthesia complications or those with hypertension)." |
