Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention:
- Initiation of device for recycling stoma and fistula effluent.
- A tube will be inserted into the stoma orifice to enable stoma output recycling.
Who will deliver the intervention:
- The intervention will be delivered by a member of the trial team initially, and may subsequently be self-delivered by a patient.
Number of times to be delivered:
- The intervention will be delivered over increasing periods of time during the trial, initially for single short periods (5-10 minutes), then progressively increasing usage to trials over 3 days and eventually over 6 week periods.
Setting:
- hospital and/or home environment
Strategies to monitor adherence:
- research team monitoring / observations initially and later patient self-reporting.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 308247 0
Composite primary outcome:
- Technical success / feasibility - assessed via direct patient observation and investigator completed proforma.
- Measured outcome is successful completion (binary) and duration (minutes) of stoma or fistula recycling as the initial technical endpoint of interest.
- Success also measured by completed use in conjunction with a standard commercial stoma appliance with observations of any skin irritation.
Timepoint [1] 308247 0
Timepoints:
- Initially the device will be used over single episodes / short periods of approximately 5-30 minutes.
- On technical success, this timepoint will be extended toward 12-24h, then 24-72h, and then usage over periods of up to 6-12 weeks.
- Assessments will be continuous monitored observation during the initial phase, then extended to patient daily self-reported observations.
Secondary outcome [1] 354373 0
Patient tolerance / acceptability
Measured with a stoma-related quality of life score
Timepoint [1] 354373 0
Timepoint will vary by patients
- for initial periods, may be performed intermittently and daily
- once timeframe of use is extended, may be performed weekly.
Secondary outcome [2] 354595 0
Pilot clinical outcomes
- observational composite outcome measured by recording of clinical course including monitoring of any blood tests performed, episodes of dehydration, registering of any hospital admissions, and clinical course at time of stoma closure if relevant.
Timepoint [2] 354595 0
Continuously monitored in observational fashion throughout the study period.

Summary
Brief summary
Title:
- Trial of a device to enable recycling of stoma and fistula effluent.
Description:
- To test and refine a device that can safely and effectively recycle stoma and enterocutaneous fistula effluent, is well-tolerated amongst patients and minimises the stoma-associated harms and costs.
Hypothesis:
- The device can safely and effectively recycle stoma and enterocutaneous fistula effluent in a manner that is well tolerated by patients.
