The Aim of This Study is to Demonstrat That Vacuum-assisted Closure Versus Conventional Wound Closure Enables to Diminish Local Complications After Lymph Node Dissection in Patients With Metastatic Skin Tumors

October 6, 2020 updated by: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Does PREVENA Vacuum-assisted Closure Reduce Lymphorrhoea Compared to Conventional Wound Closure After Axillary and Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection in the Management of Metastatic Cutaneous Skin Tumors ?

In this study, we compared a negative pressure wound therapy, versus a conventional dressing in order to evaluate the most efficient wound therapy closure after axillary and inguinal lymph nodes dissections in the management of metastatic skin tumors. A vacuum assisted closure therapy should prevent these comorbidities.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Lymphorrhoea, lymphedema and lymphocyte are significant and common complications after axillary and inguinal lymph nodes dissections. A vacuum assisted closure therapy should prevent these comorbidities. In this study, we compared PREVENA, a negative pressure wound therapy, versus conventional dressings. We evaluated the wound complications at the seventh day, the thirtieth day and at this end of the first year after surgery. It is a retrospective study of about ninety lymph nodes dissections among with there were seventy times the use of a negative pressure wound therapy, PREVENA.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
PREVENA
A vacuum wound closure therapy like PREVENA is applied after axillary or inguinal lymph node dissection in the management of metastatic skin tumors

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Is there a visible scar disunion ?
Time Frame: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Yes if there is a scar opening, no if there isn't
between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Is there lymphorrhoea from the scar ?
Time Frame: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Yes if there is lymph coming from the the scar, no if there isn't.
between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Are there lymphocele punctures ?
Time Frame: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Yes if there is any lymphocele puncture, no if there isn't
between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Is there any lymphoedema ?
Time Frame: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
Yes if there is arm or leg lymphoedema, no if there isn't
between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
