Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gentamicin-collagen sponge is safe and effective in preventing sternal wound infections in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who are at a greater risk of developing sternal wound infections.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: gentamicin-collagen sponge dipped in saline
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Sternal wound infection (SWI) is a significant problem in cardiac surgical subjects,in particular in those with risk factors such as diabetes and obesity. There is a long unmet need for an intervention that can reduce the incidence and severity of SWIs in high-risk subjects.

Gentamicin is an antibiotic that is effective in treating certain kinds of infection. Collagen is a protein that is found in all mammals. The gentamicin-collagen sponge is a thin flat sponge made out of collagen that comes from cow tendons and containing gentamicin. When inserted into a surgical site, the collagen breaks down and the gentamicin is released at the site but very little is absorbed into the blood stream. The high levels of antibiotic at the surgical site may prevent an infection at the surgical site.

Outside of the United States more than 3,500 subjects have received treatment in clinical studies with the gentamicin-collagen sponge, primarily for orthopedic, intraabdominal, and cardiothoracic surgeries or wound infections following surgical procedures or traumatic events.

In this study, all subjects will be given treatment that is normally given to prevent surgical infections. For subjects randomly assigned to the gentamicin-collagen sponge treatment group, 2 sponges will be placed between the sternal halves during surgery. IMMEDIATELY before insertion of the sponge the surgeon should wet the sponge with saline as shown in the training/certification document. This wet sponge SHOULD BE INSERTED INTO THE STERNUM WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 15 SECONDS (AFTER THIS TIME IT MAY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO HANDLE). All subjects will be followed for 90 days after surgery to determine whether they develop a sternal wound infection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Surgical Wound Infections From Surgery Through Post-operative Day 90 [90 days post cardiac surgery]

    Efficacy will be evaluated by a comparison between the 2 study groups of the incidence of surgical wound infections that occur within the period from surgery through postop day 90.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Surgically Treated Surgical Wound Infection Postoperative Day 90 [90 days post cardiac surgery]

    Proportion of patients with surgically treated surgical wound infection adjudicated by an independent blinded committee.

  2. Proportion of Patients With Deep Surgical Wound Infections Based on Centers for Disease Control Criteria Adjudicated by an Independent Blinded Committee. [90 days post cardiac surgery]

  3. Proportion of Patients With Superficial Surgical Wound Infections Based on Centers for Disease Control Criteria Adjudicated by an Independent Blinded Committee. [90 days post cardiac surgery]

  4. Number of Participants Positive for Each Pathogen Culture [90 days post cardiac surgery]

    Analysis associated with Microbial Pathogens in Adjudicated 90 Day SWI Subjects ME within Per Protocol Population. Any Microbial Pathogens Detected in SWI (ME)

  5. ASEPSIS Score [90 days post cardiac surgery]

    ASEPSIS Score through 90 days postoperative - To compare antibiotic regimens for their effectiveness in preventing or treating wound sepsis, well-defined criteria for outcome are needed. A method of assessing wound healing has been devised that defines carefully the characteristics to be considered and how they are to be awarded points. Objective criteria are also included in the assessment. Points are given for the need for Additional treatment, the presence of Serous discharge, Erythema, Purulent exudate, and Separation of the deep tissues, the Isolation of bacteria, and the duration of inpatient Stay (ASEPSIS). The higher the points the worse outcome. Maximum Points would be 60. Minimum points would be 0

  6. Rehospitalization for Sternal Wound Infection [90 days post cardiac surgery]

    Rehospitalization for Sternal Wound Infection - within 90 days postoperatively.
