New sealant could cut chest tube time for lung cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07479277
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying a surgical sealant (Progel Platinum) to staple lines during lung cancer surgery can reduce the time patients need a chest tube. About 160 adults having minimally invasive lung lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer will be randomly assigned to get the sealant plus staples or staples alone. The main goal is to see if the sealant shortens chest tube duration and hospital stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Progel Platinum surgical sealant
What this could lead to
If it works, this could mean fewer days with a chest tube and a shorter hospital stay after lung cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The sealant may not significantly reduce drainage time, and there is a risk of allergic reaction or other complications.
