What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥50% Reduction in Pads Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects with a ≥50% reduction in pads per day use

    Measured: 3 Months Post Procedure

  2. Percentage of Subjects Cured, Improved, or Failed Based on Reported Pad Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects cured (0 pads per day or 1 dry prophylactic pad), improved (not cured and ≥50% reduction in pad use), or failed (not cured and not improved) at the three month and final prospective follow-up visit

    Measured: 3 months Post Procedure

  3. Percentage of Subjects in Each Pre-defined Range of Pads Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects using the following categories of pads per day at the three month and final prospective follow-up visit:

    0 pads per day or 1 dry prophylactic pad; 1 pad per day; 2 pads per day; 3 pads per day; 4 pads per day; 5 or more pads per day (5, 6, 7, 8 etc. pads per day);

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Evaluate the 24-hour Pad Weight at the Final Prospective Follow-up Visit

    Percentage of subjects at a given weight for their 24-hour pad weight test at the final prospective follow-up visit.

    Measured: Prospective follow-up to 36 Months Post Procedure

  5. Change in Quality of Life Scores as Compared to Baseline for I-QOL, ICIQ-SF, and Summary of Values for the PGI-I. Measured From Baseline to Prospective Follow.

    The Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) is a 22 questionnaire that evaluates a subject's quality of life with respect to urinary problems/incontinence. A lower score correlates with more severe incontinence, and an increase from baseline indicates an improvement in quality of life. The score scale is 0 - 100.

    The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) is a 4 question tool that quantifies the impact on quality of life from incontinence. A decrease from baseline to follow-up indicates an improvement in quality of life. The score scale is 1-21.

    The Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaire is a single question instrument that assess a subject's perception of the disease impact on their quality of life. Completed at the last visit, a lower score indicates a better perception from the patient. Scale from 1 to 7.

    Measured: Baseline to Prospective Follow Up (up to 36 months)

  6. Number of Adverse Events Reported Between Arms

    Evaluate the occurrence of all AdVance /AdVance XP AEs, as well as those reported as serious, intra-operative, device or procedure related adverse events

    Measured: Prospective follow-up to 36 Months Post Procedure

  7. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥50% Reduction in Pads Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects with a ≥50% reduction in pads per day use

    Measured: Prospective follow-up to 36 Months Post Procedure

  8. Percentage of Subjects Cured, Improved, or Failed Based on Reported Pad Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects cured (0 pads per day or 1 dry prophylactic pad), improved (not cured and ≥50% reduction in pad use), or failed (not cured and not improved) at the three month and final prospective follow-up visit

    Measured: Prospective follow-up to 36 Months Post Procedure

  9. Percentage of Subjects in Each Pre-defined Range of Pads Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects using the following categories of pads per day at the three month and final prospective follow-up visit:

    0 pads per day or 1 dry prophylactic pad; 1 pad per day; 2 pads per day; 3 pads per day; 4 pads per day; 5 or more pads per day (5, 6, 7, 8 etc. pads per day);

    Measured: 3 Months Post Procedure

  10. Percentage of Subjects in Each Pre-defined Range of Pads Per Day Use

    Evaluate the proportion of subjects using the following categories of pads per day at the three month and final prospective follow-up visit:

    0 pads per day or 1 dry prophylactic pad; 1 pad per day; 2 pads per day; 3 pads per day; 4 pads per day; 5 or more pads per day (5, 6, 7, 8 etc. pads per day);

    Measured: Prospective follow-up to 36 Months Post Procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Incontinence, Stress and Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency, run by American Medical Systems at 1 site in Germany.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Subjects With a ≥50% Reduction in Pads Per Day Use (time frame: 3 Months Post Procedure). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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?
