Investigation of Patient Benefits With a New Supporting Ostomy Product in Patients With a Newly Stoma Formation

An interventional study of Heylo in Stoma Ileostomy and Stoma Colostomy, sponsored by Coloplast A/S. Completed at 10 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-21.

Study summary

People with intestinal stomas can have, despite development of better ostomy products, problems with leakage which influence their quality of life negatively.

To overcome this, Coloplast has developed a new supporting ostomy product called Heylo™, which has an adhesive sensor layer that should be placed underneath the baseplate. The sensor layer consists of an electronic sensor system that continuously detects moisture and output leakage underneath the baseplate. A transmitter connected to the sensor layer continuously evaluates the incoming information and sends a status to a smartphone software application, which based on a predefined flow decides which information to deliver to the user about the baseplate status.

    Test product - new supporting ostomy product and support service

    The arm includes the newly developed supporting ostomy product (leakage notification system Heylo) used together with a support service

    Device: Heylo

Interventions

  • DeviceHeylo

    Test of the supporting product (test product) for a 12 weeks period. No additional intervention will be conducted. A few follow up nurse calls to assess few endpoints together with subject. All remaining endpoints are captured via surveys send to the subjects every 14 days.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Times With Stoma Effluent Leakage Outside the Baseplate (e.g. Onto Clothes or Bedsheets) Within the Last 2 Weeks

    Survey question: Think back on the last 2 weeks; how many times have you experienced stoma effluent leakage outside the baseplate (e.g. onto clothes or bedsheets)?

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient Self-management

    Patient Activation Measure (PAM) score The Patient Activation Measurement (PAM) is scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. Individuals who score high on this instrument typically understand the importance of taking a pro-active role in managing their health and have the skills and confidence to do so.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  2. Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Emotional Impact' Domain

    Leakage-related quality of life. The Ostomy Leakage Impact (OLI) tool consists of 22 item questions, which are grouped in three domains. The three domains concern the impact of stoma leakage on (1) 'emotional' aspects, (2) 'usual and social activities', and (3) 'coping and in control'. Each domain has a score ranging from 0-100. A score of 100 equals no impact and a score of 0 represents full negative impact, thus a higher score means that subjects are less impacted from leakage in their daily life.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  3. Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Usual and Social Activities' Domain

    Leakage-related quality of life. The Ostomy Leakage Impact (OLI) tool consists of 22 item questions, which are grouped in three domains. The three domains concern the impact of stoma leakage on (1) 'emotional' aspects, (2) 'usual and social activities', and (3) 'coping and in control'. Each domain has a score ranging from 0-100. A score of 100 equals no impact and a score of 0 represents full negative impact, thus a higher score means that subjects are less impacted from leakage in their daily life.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  4. Ostomy Leakage Impact Tool - 'Coping and in Control' Domain

    Leakage-related quality of life. The Ostomy Leakage Impact (OLI) tool consists of 22 item questions, which are grouped in three domains. The three domains concern the impact of stoma leakage on (1) 'emotional' aspects, (2) 'usual and social activities', and (3) 'coping and in control'. Each domain has a score ranging from 0-100. A score of 100 equals no impact and a score of 0 represents full negative impact, thus a higher score means that subjects are less impacted from leakage in their daily life.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  5. Health Related Quality of Life

    The EQ-5D-5L instrument consists of five dimensions with five predetermined levels of response that is used to generate a health state profile, which then can be assigned a summary index score. Translation of health states and index scores are based on the specific value set for United Kingdom. The index scores based on the value set for United Kingdom ranges from -0.285 to 1. Index score of -0.285 is the worst health state. Index score of 1 is the best health state.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

  6. EQ-5D-5L Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Subjects rate their perceived health from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Final Evaluation (Week 12)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
