NCT05944913

Brief Summary

This is a randomized (1:1 ratio), prospective, comparative, controlled, open-label study. The aim is to compare the efficacy of negative pressure therapy (PREVENA™) versus standard postoperative wound management on the wound healing after surgery for previously irradiated Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The efficacy of negative pressure therapy (PREVENA) versus standard postoperative wound management on the wound healing after surgery for previously irradiated STS

    Assessed by major wound complications rate

    Within the 3-month postoperative period.

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Three month deep infection rate

    At 3 months post-surgery visit

  • Three months secondary surgery for wound healing problem rate

    At 3 months post-surgery visit

  • Hospitalization duration

    At 3 months post-surgery visit

  • Time to complete wound healing

    Up to 27 months

  • Number and types of major wound complications (MWCs)

    Up to 27 months

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Arm A : Surgery for STS and prevena

EXPERIMENTAL

The surgery for the STS lesion will be performed according to standard practices. PREVENA™ Incision Management System should be applied immediately post-surgery to clean surgically closed wounds. It should be continuously applied for a minimum of 2 days and up to a maximum of 7 days (as per PREVENA user manual)

Device: Prevena

Arm B : Surgery for STS and standard postoperative wound management

NO INTERVENTION

The surgery for the STS lesion will be performed according to standard practices. The dressing and drainage of the wound will be performed according to usual practices, with the exception of negative pressure dressings.

Interventions

PrevenaDEVICE

PREVENA™ is a CE-marked class IIa medical device. The PREVENA™ Incision Management System is also intended to manage the environment of closed surgical incisions and surround intact skin in patients at risk for developing post-operative complications, such as infection, by maintaining a closed environment via the application of a negative pressure wound therapy system to the incision.
