Efficacy and Safety of the CG-100 Intraluminal Bypass Device

October 21, 2025 updated by: Colospan Ltd.

Efficacy and Safety of the CG-100 Intraluminal Bypass Device in Colorectal and Coloanal Anastomoses: Prospective, Open Label, Randomized Trial

A randomized trial to assess the safety and efficacy of CG-100 for reducing stoma creation rate in subjects undergoing mesorectal excision.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A primary diverting stoma is widely used by surgeons in order to bypass the low rectal anastomosis and reduce morbidity associated with anastomotic leaks. Today a stoma is created for all high-risk patients even though the expected anastomotic leak rate is less than 20%. This means that 80% of patients are exposed to potentially serious complications associated with the stoma itself without any clinical benefit.

CG-100, a removable, temporary intraluminal bypass device, developed by Colospan, is designed to address this need by safely postponing the creation of a protective stoma until 10 days after surgery only for patients who need it (i.e. have a defect in the anastomosis); thereby allowing patients with an intact anastomosis a quicker and safer return to normal activity.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient is willing to comply with protocol-specified follow-up evaluations
  2. Patient 22-65 years of age at screening, or patient 66-70 years of age at screening with up to one cardiovascular, metabolic or pulmonary comorbidity for which medication is prescribed.
  3. Patient is diagnosed with colorectal cancer
  4. Patient is scheduled for elective either open, laparoscopic or robotic with mesorectal excision (either abdominal or transanal approach) which will require the creation of an anastomosis, maximally 10 cm from the anal verge
  5. Patients who are scheduled to receive a protective stoma under routine clinical practice during their primary planned operation.
  6. Patient is scheduled to undergo mechanical bowel preparation
  7. The patient has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Medical Ethics Committee (EC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has local or systemic infection at the time of intervention (e.g., peritonitis)
  2. Major surgical or interventional procedures within 45 days prior to this study or planned surgical or interventional procedures within 6 months of entry into this study (not including, placement of port for chemotherapy or ureter stent insertion).
  3. Patients with ASA classification > 3
  4. Albumin < 30 g/liter
  5. Patient has a diagnosis of bowel obstruction, bowel strangulation, peritonitis, bowel perforation, ischemic bowel, carcinomatosis or extensively spread inflammatory bowel disease

  7. BMI ≥ 40
  8. Patient is going through another surgical procedure (other than ileostomy, adhesiolysis) during the surgery.
