The purpose of RECOVER is to evaluate the performance and safety of Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh in high-risk subjects (at least one risk factor impairing wound healing) when used for reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissues in procedures involving open extraperitoneal ventral hernia repair, in clean (US); and clean and clean-contaminated (Europe) surgical fields (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Classification I and II. Data from this study will primarily be used to support market approval and European post-market clinical follow-up needs. Secondarily, data will be used for product marketing, future product development, and to support market release and maintenance in global geographies.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of three ascending doses of AMT-143 to determine the appropriate dose of AMT-143 for the management of postsurgical pain following inguinal hernia repair. Healthy male and female participants ≥18 years of age scheduled for open inguinal hernia repair surgery will be enrolled. Participants will all receive general anesthesia. The open inguinal hernia repair will be performed by a participating surgeon and the study medication will be administered by the surgeon prior to wound closure. AMT-143 is provided as a hydrogel containing 385 mg/mL ropivacaine (on a ropivacaine HCl equivalence basis). AMT-143 hydrogel will be provided as pre-filled syringes for administration via instillation into the surgical site after surgery and prior to suture. This will be a randomized, single blind, placebo and active controlled, dose escalation study performed at one clinical site to determine optimal doses of AMT-143. The study will consist of 30 participants, 10 per dose. Participants will receive AMT-143, or saline placebo, or ropivacaine 1% solution. Participants will be blinded to treatment. All assessments up to 4 h will be performed in the hospital clinic setting. Post discharge follow-up for the study will be handled on an outpatient basis and will be conducted by a home nurse up to Day 21. The participant will return to the clinical site for a final End of Study visit on Day 28.

To date, there have been no prospective randomized controlled trials that compare various biologic mesh materials in the context of abdominal wall reconstruction. As a result, this proposal describes a 'head to head' randomized controlled trial (RCT) between 2 of the market's most popular biologic meshes. Strattice (noncross-linked porcine dermis, LifeCell Inc.) will be compared to Permacol (cross-linked porcine dermis, Covidien Inc.) in a randomized manner. Although there are significant differences between these mesh products with regard to procurement, tissue processing and cost, clinical controlled trials are needed to compare their performance.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the incidence and severity of post-operative shoulder pain following elective robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair in hopes of reducing pain and associated costs as well as clinic and emergency department visits due to this pain. You will undergo standard robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair with the standard postoperative care. The only difference is that you may be selected for the group where lower pressures used to fill your abdomen with carbon dioxide will be used, and you will be asked to fill out logs regarding your pain postoperatively. You will have postoperative appointments that are standard following this procedure.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Abdominal Hernia clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Abdominal Hernia clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Abdominal Hernia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Abdominal Hernia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Abdominal Hernia medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Abdominal Hernia clinical trials?

Most recently, we added AMT-143 Hydrogel for Pain After Hernia Surgery, Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum for Postoperative Shoulder Pain and Resorbable Mesh for Ventral Hernia to the Power online platform.
