Summary AIM:The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of GM142, a newly developed gelatin film with a concave and convex structure to a commercially available conventional film, hyaluronate-carboxymethylcellulose.METHODS:Patients with primary rectal cancer who were scheduled for diverting ileostomy during laparoscopic surgery were eligible for this study. Patients were randomized before surgery and an antiadhesion film was applied under the umbilical incision. The primary outcome was the incidence of adhesion under the midline incision confirmed by second-look surgery for diverting ileostomy closure. The secondary outcomes were the adhesion severity score, the extent of adhesion score, the presence of intestinal obstruction, and the success of all patching.RESULTS:A total of 146 patients were enrolled. A total of 123 patients were included in the full analysis set. The primary outcome of "no adhesion" was observed in 66.1% in the GM142 group and 55.7% in the conventional film group. The noninferiority of GM142 to conventional film was confirmed (P = .0005). The secondary outcomes were similar between the groups. For the safety evaluation, there were no safety concerns regarding allergic reactions to gelatin or increased gelatin-specific IgE antibody titers.CONCLUSIONS:The noninferiority of GM142 to conventional film was shown. GM142 showed no major safety issues. The clinical safety profiles of GM142 suggested certain physiological benefits of the gelatin film as an adhesion barrier.
