Study summary

Axillary lymphadenectomy in breast cancer continues to be a common practice in certain patients. The use of sealants and drains continues to be a source of disagreement among the scientific community. That is why the study was designed to show whether the sealant reduces seroma after axillary lymphadenectomy without drainage.

Read the detailed description

A study has been designed to assess whether the sealant reduces the rate of symptomatic seroma measured by the number of evacuating punctures. Likewise, the decrease in volume due to the seroma between the two groups and the quality of life of the patients is assessed, given that none of them has a drain

  • ASA 4 patients. (ASA 3 patients selected)
  • Lack of adequate cognitive capacity and/or signed
  • Pregnancy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in symptomatic seroma

    Number of evacuating punctures

    Assess the existence of risk factors (age, sex, obesity,neoadjuvant treatment) related to symptomatic seroma

    Time frame: Up to 1 year

  4. Number of patients with temporary or permanence of disability after operation

    Clavien-Dindo classification of morbidity

    Time frame: Up to 1 year

  5. Individual's perception of the position in life of the participants

    Assess the quality of life after the intervention measured by the EuroQol five dimensions (EQ-5D-5L questionnaire). Descriptive system for health-related quality of life states in adults, consisting of five dimensions. No quality 0 points. Perfect quality 100 points

    Time frame: Day 7 and 14 after surgery

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Apr 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 38 months after the start.

Of 43 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Seroma, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 65. This study's planned 38 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 44 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 65.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Sep 4, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
