About this trial

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety of the ColoSeal ICD System by evaluating its effectiveness in reducing the stoma creation rate and by comparing the rate of major complications to current standard of care for rectal cancer surgery with a diverting ostomy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subject is 22-75 years of age at screening and is diagnosed with rectal cancer.

Subject is determined to be 'robust' as assessed via the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS; score 1-3), the Mini-Cog (score ≥3) and either the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB; score ≥10) or Timed Up and Go (TUG; score <12 seconds). This inclusion applies to subjects aged 71-75 only.

Subject with a life expectancy < 1 year due to condition other than rectal cancer.

Subject with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification > 3.
