Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL® as a means of reducing intra-, as well as post-operative, CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective cranial intradural surgery with a dural closure procedure to show noninferiority compared to a control group.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
pre-operative
1. Subjects who are able to provide written informed consent prior to participating in
the clinical investigation.
2. Subjects who are ≥ 18 years old.
3. Subjects who are able to comply with the follow-up or other study requirements.
4. Subjects wo are planned for elective surgery including a trepanation to reach the
subdural infratentorial space (with lower limit of incision defined as the lower edge
of C2) in whom a dural incision will be closed.
5. Female subjects of child bearing potential must agree to use a form of contraception
from the time of signing the informed consent form through 90 days post-surgery.
intra-operative
1. Subjects with surgical wound classification Class I/Clean.
2. Subjects with minimally 5 mm of dural space surrounding dural opening.
Exclusion Criteria:
pre-operative
1. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
2. Subjects with an assumed impaired coagulation due to medication or otherwise.
3. Subjects suspected of an infection requiring antibiotics.
4. Subjects with any type of dural diseases in planned dural closure area.
5. Subjects requiring re-opening of planned surgical area within 90 days after surgery.
6. Subjects with a known allergy to any of the components (Lactide-Caprolactone
co-polyester; Butanediol-BDI co-polyurethane; Polyethylene glycol Succinimidyl
Gluterate; Disodium hydrogen phosphate or D&C Green No 6) of LIQOSEAL®.
7. Subjects who previously received a LIQOSEAL®.
8. Subjects who previously participated in this study or any investigational drug or
device study within 30 days of screening.
9. Subjects with a presence of hydrocephalus.
10. Subjects with contra-indication to MRI [cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, severe
claustrophobia, injured by a metallic object that was not removed, cochlear (ear)
implants, metallic implants [e.g. knee replacement].
intra-operative
1. Subjects in whom elevation of PEEP has a potential detrimental effect.
2. Subjects who will require a CSF drain, electrodes or other devices passing the dural
layer or extra to intracranial bypass surgery.
3. Subjects who have primary closure of the dura mater with synthetic, nonautologous or
autologous material other than galea.
4. Subjects in whom no intra-operative CSF leakage is present after primary closure of
the dura mater with elevation of PEEP.
5. Subjects who after primary closure (including galea, if applicable) of the dura mater
have a gap > 3 mm.
6. Subjects whom dural opening size including 5 mm margin exceeds patch size (8 x 8 cm).
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
