Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Seal-G MIST System in reinforcing colorectal anastomosis, in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery.

Description:

Study procedures:

Pre-surgery:

• Screening will be performed among adult subjects who are scheduled for an elective colorectal surgery. Once potential eligibility to the study is determined based on the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria, study procedures will be explained to the candidate and participation will be offered.

• Informed consent process.

• Pre-surgery assessments will be according to the routine practice at the site and determined by the treating physician.

Intra-operative:

• During the surgery, after confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria, completion of anastomosis creation and only after leak test was performed , subjects will be allocated to one of the two treatment arms with a 1:1 ratio based on a randomization scheme (either to the Standard of care (SOC) or to Seal-G MIST arms).

• Device (Seal-G MIST System) application (to Seal-G MIST treatment arm only).

Post-operative follow-up:

• Subjects will be followed during post-operative period until discharge from the hospital for clinical and subclinical leaks according to the SOC.

• In an event of suspected anastomotic leak, patient will be treated according to severity of leak and PI clinical judgement (conservative treatment, drainage, diversion, anastomosis take down).

• Subjects will be followed up for leaks and related AE/SAEs at the day of the surgery and for a period of 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery, including the following activities:

• Daily while hospitalized (in accordance with the site routine procedures)

• At 1 month (±1 week) and 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery (Hospitalization for elective procedure (i.e. chemotherapy treatments) will not be considered as SAEs)

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of overall subject pre-specified* procedure related Adverse Events	Pre-specified procedure related Adverse Event: Wound infection; Bowel obstruction and Post-operative ileus; Anastomotic stricture; Anastomotic leak; Collection/Abscess; Urinary retention/Urinary Tract Infection; Renal failure; Hepatic failure; Peritoneal metastasis; Staple-line bleeding; Allergic reaction; Re-intervention (Including but not limited to re-operation; stoma).	up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of clinical anastomotic leaks	Anastomotic leak (AL) is defined as evidence of a defect in the intestinal wall integrity at the anastomotic site leading to local or general peritonitis, abscesses in the proximity of the anastomosis and/or fistula, fecal or purulent discharge from drains.	up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of subclinical/ radiological leaks	As assessed from Adverse event/Serious Adverse Event reporting form	up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) complications	According to Serious Adverse Event (SAE) definition from Medical Device Directive (MEDDEV 2.7/3, Rev 3, May 2015)	up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of collection/abscess without demonstrated leak	According to Adverse event reporting form	up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks) post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of reoperation	According to Adverse event/Serious Adverse Event reporting form	up to 30 days post-surgery
Secondary	Incidence of postoperative mortality		up to 15 weeks (±2 weeks)
Secondary	Hospital length of stay		From date of surgery until the time for "Ready to be discharged" (in days), an average of 10±4 days
