Irrisept Spinal Fusion Pilot Study Protocol

Study Purpose

Study objectives include assessing the use of Irrisept irrigation solution in lumbar spinal fusion procedures and effect on clinical and patient reported outcome measures. This includes assessing postoperative SSI as well as fusion rates in addition to patient reported outcome measures.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 85 Years
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18-85, undergoing primary lumbar spinal fusion (less than or equal to 3 levels)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior lumbar fusion (decompression only okay), spinal infection, spinal neoplasm

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05011942
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A

Additional Details

This is a randomized controlled pilot study with a study size of 50 patients. Results will be utilized to plan a larger scale study. Background literature supports the use of chlorhexidine gluconate as an irrigation solution to decrease SSI although this has not been conducted in this population of patients (lumbar spine fusion) to date. A decrease in SSI with Irrisept, could support the possible use of this as an irrigation solution to decrease infections postoperatively. It will be important to know the effect if any of Irrisept on fusion rates. This study will provide valuable information that may assist in future treatment and prevention of SSI in lumbar spinal fusion patients.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Placebo Comparator: normal saline control arm

ii. normal saline used after initial skin incision prior to coming through fascia, after placement of instrumentation (screws, hooks), prior to placement of bone graft, and after fascial closure iii. Irrigation exposure/soak time to be 1 min for each irrigation time point.

Active Comparator: Irrisept irrigation solution

ii. Irrigation (Irrisept vs control of normal saline) used after initial skin inicision prior to coming through fascia, after placement of instrumentation (screws, hooks), prior to placement of bone graft, and after fascial closure iii. Irrigation exposure/soak time to be 1 min for each irrigation time point. iv. 1 bottle (450 mL) Irrisept irrigation to be used during case with normal saline rinse to follow at each irrigation time point in study subjects

Interventions

Device: - Irrisept Irrigation solution
