Clinical Trial Summary

The ASOLO-SCI investigation is a Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study to investigate the safety and performance of the Avance® Solo NPWT System in treating low to moderate exuding surgically closed incisions for up to 14 days when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use (IfU).

Description:

The ASOLO-SCI investigation is designed as a prospective, open, non-comparative, PMCF study to investigate the safety and performance of the Avance® Solo NPWT System in treating low to moderate exuding surgically closed incisions for up to 14 days when used in accordance with the IfU in up to 34 patients (n=34). The ASOLO-SCI investigation is a multicentre study that is expected to take place in approximately three European centres. The study treatment shall be stopped earlier (i.e. prior to 14 days), in the event study Subjects withdraw their consent, or shall the Principal Investigator and clinical team deem the Avance® Solo NPWT System to be no longer adequate for the study Subject's wound. Following termination of Subject participation for whichever reason in the study, the patient shall be followed in accordance with the local standard of care in wound management and treatment. As a primary endpoint, the Principal Investigator and clinical team will evaluate whether the surgical incision remains closed, from baseline to study end at Day 14.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in wound remaining closed	The evaluation of the wound remaining closed is captured through an assessment by the Principal Investigator/clinical team from baseline to the final visit (wound remaining closed yes/no).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Wound progress to baseline	Wound progress in low to moderate surgically closed incisions compared between baseline and final visit (deteriorated/no change/improved).	Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in wound progress across visits	Wound progress in low to moderate surgically closed incisions compared to last visit (deteriorated/no change/improved).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in lack of dermal opposition	Lack of dermal opposition as a percentage of the total wound length from baseline to all follow-up visits.	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in exudate amount	Change in exudate amount from baseline to all follow-up visits (none/low/moderate/high).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in exudate nature	Change in exudate nature from baseline to all follow-up visits (serous/fibrinous/serosanguinous/sanguineous/seropurulent/purulent/foul purulent//haemopurulent/haemorrhagic).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in exudate odour	Change in exudate odour from baseline to all follow-up visits (no odour/slight/moderate/strong/very strong).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Change in peri-wound conditions	Change in peri-wound skin condition from baseline to all follow-up visits (normal/erythematous/oedematous/eczematous/excoriated/macerated/indurated).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Pain assessment	Subject evaluation of pain at Avance® Solo Border Dressing and Avance® Solo Fixation Strips removal using a Numeric Rating Scale at each follow-up visit (where the Subject verbally grade their pain on a level from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 the worst imaginable for the Subject; the NRS will be used before and during dressing removal).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Absorption and transportation of exudate	Clinical assessment of Avance® Solo NPWT System's ability to absorb and/or transport exudate using a rating scale at all follow-up visits (very poor/poor/good/very good).	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	Trauma to the wound's surrounding skin	Proportion of Subjects with trauma (e.g. blistering) to the wound site and surrounding skin for Avance® Solo Border Dressing and Avance® Solo Fixation Strips at all follow-up visits.	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
Secondary	System wear time	Evaluate system wear time in days from baseline to all follow-up visits including potential extra visits.	Day 7 (+0/-2 days), Day 14 (+0/-2 days)
