NCT ID NCT06265558
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) can reduce wound complications like infection, reopening, or slow healing after complex breast cancer surgery with reconstruction. About 254 women with risk factors like obesity or smoking will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum dressing or a standard dressing. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing leads to fewer wound problems within 30 days after surgery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Negative pressure therapy (a special dressing connected to a vacuum to help wounds heal)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way to reduce infections, wound reopening, and slow healing after breast cancer surgery with reconstruction.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. Previous studies had serious limitations, so results may not be conclusive. The therapy is a procedure, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
Conditions
