There are currently several projects under consideration at various stages in the planning process. A selection of these are:
Post-operative ileus novel treatments
After completion of the STIMULAX Trial, we hope to establish the standard of care for post-operative return of bowel function, and use this new baseline to test novel treatments with the hope of improving this even further. Several novel drugs are currently under consideration.
Leak Check 2 / Double Check
If Leak Check identifies modifiable risk factors for anastomotic leak (likely), then a followup international study is in the planning stages to test whether modification of these factors in the pre-operative and intra-operative stage could reduce the incidence of post-operative anastomotic leak.
