About this study
Official title: Effects of Surgical Treatment Enhanced With Exercise for Mixed Urinary Incontinence (ESTEEM)
The overarching goal of this randomized trial is to estimate the effect of combined midurethral sling (MUS) and peri-operative behavioral/pelvic floor therapy (BPTx) compared to MUS alone on successful treatment of MUI symptoms in 472 women. Secondary objectives include estimating the effect of combined treatment compared to MUS on improving overactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) outcomes separately, need for additional treatment, time to failure and identifying predictors of poor outcomes in this MUI population.
A supplemental study, The Human Microbiome Study of ESTEEM, will evaluate the urinary and vaginal microbiome as it relates to women with MUI, their treatment and unaffected controls.
Read the detailed description
ESTEEM is a multi-center randomized trial of 472 women with MUI who have elected to undergo surgical treatment for SUI. Participants will be randomized to a peri-operative BPTx program+MUS versus MUS alone. The purpose is to compare combined MUS+BPTx versus MUS alone (control) on improving MUI symptoms at 1 year.
Patients will be assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Randomization will be stratified by clinical site and by UUI "severity," which will be defined by the number of urgency urinary IEs on diary.
The primary outcome for this study is the mean change from baseline in UDI-total score at 1 year postoperative. The UDI is a validated, disease-specific, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure.
Secondary outcomes UUI/OAB outcomes will be measured using the UDI-irritative subscale that measures symptom burden, impact, and changes related to OAB. It is highly responsive to treatment-related change and is able to discriminate among levels of change in all bladder diary variables (urinary urgency, frequency and urge incontinence) and patient ratings of treatment benefit that will characterize how MUS may affect all OAB symptoms individually and as a whole. SUI symptom outcomes will be measured using the UDI-stress subscale to compare SUI outcomes between women randomized to MUS + BPTx versus MUS alone.
Other UUI/OAB outcomes that will be compared between groups include 1) the change in IE frequency and type, number of urgency episodes, urgency severity with voids, number of diurnal voids, and number of nocturnal voids using a bladder diary; 2) patient satisfaction with treatment using the OAB-SAT-q; 3) bother and heal related quality of life using the OAB-q subscale
For analyzing time to failure, "failure" will be defined as initiation of any additional treatment for either SUI or UUI/OAB symptoms during the follow-up period. Subjects lost to follow up will be censored at the time of their last visit.
Quality of life/global impression will be assessed be compared between treatment groups using the a) Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ), c) European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), d) Adaptation Index and e) Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S).
Safety/additional treatments will be characterized as a) additional re-treatments for SUI or UUI within 12 months of treatment, and type of re-treatment and b) return to OR for sling revision due to worsened OAB symptoms.
To evaluate the association between PFM strength and improvements in UI symptoms, we will objectively assess PFM strength changes using the Peritron Perineometer, and instrument specifically designed for pelvic floor assessment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Miduretheral SlingProcedure or surgery
Also called MUS
MUS can include the TVT™ (mechanical cut mesh only, Gynecare, ETHICON Women's Health \& Urology, Somerville, NJ), TVT-O™ (mechanical cut mesh only, Gynecare), or Monarc™ (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN).
Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapyOther
Also called MUS + BPTx
MUS is combined with components of behavioral therapy (designed to change behaviors to encourage continence), and pelvic floor muscle therapy (designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, enhance the physiological closure of the bladder neck, and improve coordination). This is done prior to MUS (1 visit) and after MUS for 5 visits at 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks and 6 months.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Miduretheral Sling (Control) | Sham comparator | Miduretheral Sling (Control) Receives: Procedure: Miduretheral Sling |
| MUS+BPTx | Experimental | Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapy Receives: Other: Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline UDI Total Score
The Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI) is a standardized a measure of overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life. The UDI scale has a range from 0 to 300 with higher scores indicating greater distress. The change from baseline outcome is calculated as the difference in score at 3, 6, or 12 months and the score at baseline.
Measured: 3, 6, and 12 Months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change From Baseline UDI Stress Score
The Urogenital Distress Inventory is a standardized a measure of overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life. The UDI Stress subscale has a range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater distress. The change from baseline outcome is calculated as the difference in score at 3, 6, or 12 months and the score at baseline.
Measured: 3, 6, and 12 Months
Change From Baseline UDI Irritative Score
The Urogenital Distress Inventory is a standardized a measure of overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life. The UDI Irritative subscale has a range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater distress. The change from baseline outcome is calculated as the difference in score at 3, 6, or 12 months and the score at baseline.
Measured: 3, 6, and 12 Months
Change From Baseline UDI Obstructive Score
The Urogenital Distress Inventory is a standardized a measure of overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life. The UDI Obstructive subscale has a range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater distress. The change from baseline outcome is calculated as the difference in score at 3, 6, or 12 months and the score at baseline.
Measured: 3, 6, and 12 Months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Miduretheral Sling and Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapy in people with Urinary Incontinence, Stress and Urinary Incontinence, Urge, run by NICHD Pelvic Floor Disorders Network at 10 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 10 inclusion and 20 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 14 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 May 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?
Change From Baseline UDI Total Score (time frame: 3, 6, and 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01959347, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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?
