ColoSeal device study for rectal cancer surgery patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a device called ColoSeal that protects the connection made during rectal cancer surgery. It is for patients who are having surgery to remove the tumor and reattach the bowel, and who also need a temporary ostomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 75 years old and have rectal cancer.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor and reconnect your bowel, with a temporary ostomy.
- You have a family member or helper available at home while the device is in place.
- You live within 75 miles of the study doctor's office, or can stay nearby for a day after the device is removed.
- You are generally in good health, with no major infections, bleeding problems, or uncontrolled diabetes.

This study tests a new device called the ColoSeal ICD System that may help protect the reconnection of your bowel after surgery for rectosigmoid or rectal cancer. It is designed for people who are already scheduled for surgery that includes a temporary colostomy or ileostomy.
This trial studies a device (CG-100) placed inside the bowel to see if it can improve safety and outcomes during surgery for colorectal cancer. You would be asked to follow extra study check-ins after your operation, and the team would monitor whether the device works as intended.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This trial compares two types of surgery for low rectal cancer to see which one better preserves your ability to control bowel movements. It is for people whose cancer has not spread and who have good anal function before surgery.
This trial tests a device called Colovac that protects the connection made during colon surgery for cancer. It may help patients who need a temporary colostomy bag heal better.
This trial tests whether a special reinforcement patch (made from pig tissue) can reduce the risk of leaks when the rectum is reconnected after rectal cancer surgery. It compares the reinforced connection to the standard method.
