What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With POP-Q Stage Improvement Assessed by POP-Q Stage Improvement Based Upon Grading of Prolapse of the Anterior, Posterior, or Combined Anterior and Posterior Compartments Compared Between Baseline and One Year.

    The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POP-Q) is used to measure pelvic organ prolapse. POP-Q Stages are:

    Stage 0: No prolapse is demonstrated Stage 1: The criteria for stage 0 are not met, but the most distal portion of the prolapse is greater than 1 cm above the level of the hymen Stage 2: The most distal portion of the prolapse is greater than or equal to 1 centimeter proximal to or distal to the plane of the hymen Stage 3: The most distal portion of the prolapse is greater than 1 centimeter below the plan of the hymen but protrudes no further than 2 centimeters less that the total vaginal length in centimeters Stage 4: The distal portion of the prolapse protrudes to at least (TVL-2) centimeters.

    Improvement at one year is categorized as follows:

    Cured: Pop-Q Stage reduced to 0 or 1, or improved by 2 stages from baseline Improved: POP-Q Stage > 1, but improved by 1 stage from baseline Failed: POP-Q Stage stayed the same or increased in severity from baseline

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Change in Participant Sexual Satisfaction From Baseline After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair With Axis Allograft Dermis Measured by Participant Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ-12) at 6 Months

    The PISQ-12 is the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Sexual Function in women after pelvic organ prolapse repair with Axis Allograft Dermis measured by PISQ-12 at 6 months. The scores range from 0-48 with lower scores indicating better sexual function. Scores are calculated by totaling the scores for each question with (4) always, (3) usually, (2) sometimes, (1) seldom, and (0) never. Reverse scoring is used for items 1, 2, 3 and 4.

  12. Change in Pelvic/Bladder Pain With Daily Activity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Questionnaire From Baseline to 6 Weeks, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months

    The Visual analog scales (VAS) Questionnaire is a questionnaire that asks the participant to mark a place on a scale that aligns with their level of pain. Participants were asked to make a vertical mark on a 10 centimeter line marked with "No Pain" and "Worst Pain" at each end and the line was measured to the tenths decimal place. A lower score indicates less pain.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months

  13. Change in Pelvic/Bladder Pain With Sexual Activity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Questionnaire From Baseline to 6 Weeks, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months

    The Visual analog scales (VAS) Questionnaire is a questionnaire that asks the participant to mark a place on a scale that aligns with their level of pain. Participants were asked to make a vertical mark on a 10 centimeter line with the left end marker labeled "No Pain" and the right end marker labeled "Worst Pain." The line was measured to the tenths decimal place. Zero was the minimum value and 10 was the maximum value. Higher scores indicated a greater amount of pain.

  15. Ratings for the Validated Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8) in Women Following Surgery to Correct Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair With Axis Allograft Dermis at the 6 Week, 6 Month, 12 Month, 24 Month, and 36 Month Visits.

    The Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8) is a validated questionnaire consisting of eight questions assessing participant satisfaction with the results of their surgery to correct urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse. Scoring is implemented with the mean average of the 8 scores multiplied by 25, yielding a potential range of scores from 0 to 100. The higher the score is, the greater the degree of surgical satisfaction.

    Measured: 6 week, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month, and 36 month visits

  16. Change in Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) Questionnaire After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair With Axis Allograft Dermis From Baseline to 6 Weeks, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, and 36 Months

    The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire (PFDI-20) is a questionnaire with 20 questions that measures symptom distress and impact of health-related quality of life. The PFDI-20 has three scales:

    Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI-6), Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI-8), and Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6). Each of the 3 scales of the PFDI-20 is scored from 0 (least distress) to 100 (greatest distress). The sum of the scores of these 3 scales serves as the overall summary score of the PFDI-20 and ranges from 0 to 300. Higher scores indicate more distress.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months

  17. Change in the Participants Response on the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ) From Baseline to 6 Weeks, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months

    The Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ) measures impact of bladder, bowel, and vaginal symptoms on daily physical activity, travel, social/relationships, and emotional health. The PFIQ-7 has three scales: the Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7), the Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire (CRAIQ-7), and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire (POPIQ-7). Response options range from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("quite a bit"). Per scale, the mean score of answered items is multiplied by 33.3 to obtain the scale score (range 0-100) [4]. Summary scores are calculated by adding up the scale scores (range 0-300) [4]. Higher scores indicate more impact on daily activity.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by Coloplast A/S at 5 sites 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 30 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With POP-Q Stage Improvement Assessed by POP-Q Stage Improvement Based Upon Grading of Prolapse of the Anterior, Posterior, or Combined Anterior and Posterior Compartments Compared Between Baseline and One Year. (time frame: 1 year). 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.
