What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Biopsies using Apollo and UroStation®Device

    Apollo : Motorised probe handler for prostate biopsies

  • Biopsies using UroStation® (image fusion)Procedure or surgery

Study groups in NCT02132975
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
With motorised probe handlerExperimentalThe surgeon use the motorised probe handler to do the biopsy
Receives: Device: Biopsies using Apollo and UroStation®; Procedure: Biopsies using UroStation® (image fusion)
Without motorised probe handlerExperimentalThe surgeon do the biopsy as he usually do.
Receives: Procedure: Biopsies using UroStation® (image fusion)

What is being measured

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

  1. Distance between virtual and effective biopsy, in the two arms

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Success rate in locking/releasing the probe combined with success rate in performing a full exploration of the prostate

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Probe holder positions error between virtual and effective biopsy

    Measured: 8 months

  3. User satisfaction

    • biopsies session duration
    • device manageability
    • device unwiediness
    • contribution of the lock of the probe
    • set up, cleaning
    • global satisfaction

    Measured: 2 hours

  4. Safety Evaluation

    • number of time the device couldn't be started
    • number of times the emergency button was pushed
    • number of time the biopsy couldn't entirely be done using the device
    • number of time the device protections had to be repositioned

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsies using Apollo and UroStation® and Biopsies using UroStation® (image fusion) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by AdministrateurCIC at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 18 Oct 2016. 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 France. 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?

Distance between virtual and effective biopsy, in the two arms (time frame: 8 months). 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 18 Oct 2016.
