Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this post approval study is to further characterize the safety profile of the ProGEL™ Pleural Air Leak Sealant in commercial use, with specific reference to long-term safety over 90 days of follow-up.

Description:

Patients having open thoracotomy involving lung resection surgery will be considered for the study. Subjects will be examined for adverse events and complications from either the treatment or the procedure. Follow-up visits are required at 30 days and 90 days after the surgery.

Intervention

Other:
• Control
Standard surgical techniques including staples and sutures.

Device:
• ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant with standard surgical closure
ProGEL is a single-use medical device that is formed as a result of mixing two components: (1) a solution of human serum albumin (HSA) and (2) a synthetic cross-linking component of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Standard closure means, for example, suturing or stapling of visible air leaks incurred during resection of lung parenchyma.
• ProGEL Pleural Air Leak Sealant without standard surgical closure
ProGEL is a single-use medical device that is formed as a result of mixing two components: (1) a solution of human serum albumin (HSA) and (2) a synthetic cross-linking component of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Standard closure means, for example, suturing or stapling of visible air leaks incurred during resection of lung parenchyma.
