Study summary

This Economic Evaluation study is a multi-center, two-arm, non-randomized, interventional trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic and patient outcomes of using the Stream™ Platform for early detection of anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery. The trial will track patient outcomes and healthcare costs in two groups: the intervention group, where the Stream platform is deployed, and the control group, before the integration of the Stream™ Platform. The data collected from both groups will be compared to assess the impact of implementing the Stream™ Platform and early leak detection on overall patient outcomes and healthcare costs.This trial will include hepatobiliary, colorectal, and trauma/acute care patient populations.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intervention Group

    Stream™ Platform will be attached to the abdominal/pelvic drains of the patients enrolled in this group. The platform will conduct continuous pH and electrical conductivity measurements of the abdominal drain fluid. The continuous pH and electrical conductivity measurements will be used to calculate a Risk Score that will be provided to surgeons. Surgeons will employ the Risk Score produced alongside the standard of care for guiding the postoperative care of patients.

    Device: Stream™ Platform

  • Sham comparator
    Control Group

    Stream™ Platform will be attached to the abdominal/pelvic drains of the patients enrolled in this group. The platform will conduct continuous pH and electrical conductivity measurements of the abdominal drain fluid. However, Stream™ Platform will not generate a Risk Score and therefore, will not impact the postoperative care of patients. All procedures will be conducted as per the standard of care or institutional policies. Stream™ Platform will only be used for observation in the Control group.

    Device: Stream™ Platform with Risk Score Omitted

Interventions

  • DeviceStream™ Platform

    Stream™ Platform consists of 3 main components: Origin™ , Delta™ Monitor, and Stream™ Application. Origin™ is an inline biosensor system that can be attached inline between an off-the-shelf drainage catheter and reservoir system and is designed to monitor real-time changes in drained effluent characteristics (specifically pH and electrical conductivity (EC)) to identify potential anastomotic leaks. The Stream™ Application is a mobile application for displaying and analyzing data collected continuously via Origin™. Stream™ Application is pre-installed on Android mobile devices (called Delta™ Monitor). Stream™ Platform utilizes the continuous measurements of drain effluent characteristics to generate a Risk Score that is provided to the surgeon. The Risk Score is intended to provide an additional tool for the early diagnosis of anastomotic leakage.

  • DeviceStream™ Platform with Risk Score Omitted

    Stream™ Platform consists of 3 main components: Origin™ , Delta™ Monitor, and Stream™ Application. Origin™ is an inline biosensor system that can be attached inline between an off-the-shelf drainage catheter and reservoir system and is designed to monitor real-time changes in drained effluent characteristics (specifically pH and electrical conductivity (EC)) to identify potential anastomotic leaks. The Stream™ Application is a mobile application for displaying and analyzing data collected continuously via Origin™. Stream™ Application is pre-installed on Android mobile devices (called Delta™ Monitor). This version of Stream™ Platform is utilized purely for observational purposes. Therefore, no Risk Score is generated. This allows postoperative monitoring of patients without any influence from the Stream™ Platform.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Does Stream™ Platform integrate well with the existing clinical workflow (1)?

    Quantify average time spent by clinical research coordinator (CRC)/delegate interacting with Stream™ Platform (during attachment, daily calibration, and detachment) in minutes

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Does Stream™ Platform integrate well with the existing clinical workflow (2)?

    Observe overall compliance to Instructions for use though quantification of the number of daily calibrations completed

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Does Stream™ Platform integrate well with the existing clinical workflow (3)?

    Quantify the overall reported satisfaction score of the CRC/delegate through surveys.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Does Stream™ Platform reduce the cost of care for anastomotic leak patients in colorectal, hepatobiliary, and trauma and acute care surgeries (1)?
