Trial summary

This is a prospective, randomized study of two types of continent ileal neobladder construction in patients undergoing cystectomy for primary bladder cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to have either a T-pouch or a Studer pouch constructed at the time of their surgery. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer who are considered candidates for a neobladder reconstruction are eligible for enrollment.
  • Diagnosed with primary bladder cancer (any histology).
  • Scheduled to undergo a radical cystectomy (cystoprostatectomy in men and anterior exenteration in women).
  • Felt by the treating physician to be a candidate for an orthotopic neobladder urinary diversion.
  • Be competent and willing to sign the informed consent.
  • Patients may have received previous radiation therapy or intravesical or systemic chemotherapy. Patients with documented metastatic disease are not excluded as long as they are felt to be candidates for a continent neobladder urinary diversion.

Who cannot join

  • Patients undergoing radical cystectomy for any malignancy other than primary bladder cancer (for example prostate cancer or colon cancer invading the bladder,or a gynecologic malignancy), or non-malignant disease (such as a neurogenic bladder or radiation cystitis).
  • Unwilling or unable to sign the informed consent.
  • Not eligible for an orthotopic neobladder reconstruction.
  • A history of other malignancy (except for stage I cancer treated with curative intent without evidence of recurrence, clinically localized prostate cancer either untreated or treated with prostatectomy or radiation therapy or hormone therapy,or non-melanoma skin cancer) within the previous 5 years.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of the Studer Pouch vs. the T-Pouch Orthotopic Neobladder Urinary Diversion in Bladder Cancer Patients

This is a prospective, randomized study of two types of continent ileal neobladder construction in patients undergoing cystectomy for primary bladder cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to have either a T-pouch or a Studer pouch constructed at the time of their surgery. They will be followed long-term to determine the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two types of diversion. The investigators' hypothesis is that the inclusion of an antireflux mechanism in the T-pouch will result in significantly fewer episodes of symptomatic urinary tract infection, and will have a lower incidence of upper tract dilation and loss of renal function over the long term.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint is the long-term outcome (> 3 years) as it pertains to renal function, anatomy of the upper urinary tracts, and the requirement for medical or surgical intervention (ie for symptomatic urinary tract infections).

    Measured: 3 years after date of last patient enrolled

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. A secondary endpoint is the length of surgery and the incidence of early postoperative complications (<30 days from surgery) believed to be related to the type of urinary diversion.

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

  2. An additional secondary endpoint is cancer recurrence and overall survival, which will be recorded in each patient.

    Measured: Yearly for the first 5 years, then every 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Studer Pouch orthotopic urinary diversion and T-Pouch orthotopic urinary diversion in people with Bladder Cancer, run by University of Southern California at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint is the long-term outcome (> 3 years) as it pertains to renal function, anatomy of the upper urinary tracts, and the requirement for medical or surgical intervention (ie for symptomatic urinary tract infections). (time frame: 3 years after date of last patient enrolled). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2019.
