NCT ID NCT07676825
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a standard seton (a thread used to drain and heal fistulas) with one coated in Glubran, a surgical glue with antimicrobial and healing properties. The trial includes adults with high or complex anal fistulas, a painful condition that can cause infection and incontinence. Researchers will track healing time, pain, continence, and complications over six months to see if the glue-coated seton leads to better outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Glubran (surgical glue) coated seton
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a better healing option for complex anal fistulas with less pain and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The glue could cause irritation or fail to improve outcomes.
