Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) material used for anastomotic reinforcement in patients with high-risk factors for colorectal cancer to prevent anastomotic leakage. It will also explore the molecular biological mechanism of SIS/polycaprolactone-acrylic acid (PCA) patches in promoting tissue regeneration and verify the biological versatility of the new SIS/PCA patches at the cellular level. The main questions it aims to answer is:

Can the use of SIS reinforcement patches effectively reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage in patients with high-risk colorectal anastomosis after surgery (within 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of follow-up)? This is a single-arm, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center exploratory study. All eligible patients will be in the intervention group and receive SIS reinforcement patch for anastomosis during surgery; there is no control group for comparison.

Participants will:

Sign an informed consent form during the screening period (7 days before surgery) and provide basic clinical information, medical history, and undergo assessment against inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Undergo gastrointestinal anastomosis using SIS reinforcement patches during surgery (Day 0 of the study), with intraoperative observation of the immediate stapling effect and recording of anastomotic conditions and complications.

Complete follow-up visits at approximately 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days after surgery. During follow-up, they will undergo assessments of anastomotic leakage, healing status, adverse events, and effectiveness; they will also cooperate with the recording of concomitant medications/implanted devices and filling out of Case Report Forms (CRFs).

Have their relevant perioperative indicators collected by researchers to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SIS material anastomotic reinforcement patch.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Interventions

  • DeviceSIS Patch Intervention for High - Risk Colorectal Anastomosis

    This intervention uses a Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) patch (a medical device) to reinforce anastomosis during gastrointestinal anastomosis surgery, targeting patients with high-risk factors for colorectal anastomotic leakage. Preoperatively, subjects are screened for high-risk factors (e.g., abdominopelvic abscess from gastrointestinal perforation, ulcerative colitis history, hormone therapy within 6 months, etc.). On Study Day 0 (surgery day), the SIS patch is applied during colorectal anastomosis, with intraoperative observation of immediate stapling effect (e.g., seromuscular dehiscence, bleeding). Postoperatively, subjects are followed up at 1, 3, 6 months to monitor anastomotic leakage, healing and adverse events. It differs from conventional anastomosis by focusing on high-risk populations, with intraoperative and long-term assessments to prevent anastomotic leakage.

Primary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative Anastomotic Immediate Defect Rate

    During colorectal anastomosis with SIS patch reinforcement, the immediate stapling effect is assessed intraoperatively, including seromuscular dehiscence, incomplete anastomotic closure, bleeding at the serosal surface, intestinal wall, staple angles, and intraluminal mucosal surface, and whether additional serosal suturing is required. An "immediate defect" is defined as the presence of any of the above. Reported as the percentage of participants with an immediate defect.

  8. Additional Treatments for Anastomotic Leakage

    Incidence and nature of additional treatments required due to anastomotic leakage, including antibiotic use (and duration), fasting period, irrigation and drainage, endoscopic treatment, and reoperation/interventional procedures (with time). Reported as the percentage of participants receiving any such treatment.

    Time frame: 30, 90, and 180 days post-surgery

  9. Anastomotic Leakage Severity (Clavien-Dindo Grade)

    Distribution of anastomotic leakage severity among participants with leakage, classified by Clavien-Dindo Grade A, B, or C. Reported as number and percentage of participants per grade.

    Time frame: 30, 90, and 180 days post-surgery

  10. Anastomotic Bleeding Rate

    Incidence of anastomotic bleeding, including serosal/mucosal oozing and active bleeding at the anastomotic site. Reported as the percentage of participants with bleeding

    Time frame: 30, 90, and 180 days post-surgery

  11. Anastomotic Stricture Rate

Started Jan 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 29 months after the start.

Of 898 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Colorectal Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 62. This study's planned 29 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 955 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 60.

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.
