About this study

Official title: Foreskin Graft Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty (TIP) vs Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) for Primary Hypospadias. Randomized Clinical Trial (FGTIP-TIP)

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty versus foreskin graft tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in primary hypospadias. This study only included patients with width of urethral plate ≤ 7 mm, width of glans ≤ 14 mm, and urethral plate depth shallow o moderate.

Read the detailed description

Urethroplasty technique more used in the world for hypospadias repair is Tubularized Incised Plate described by Snodgrass in 1994. Kolon and Gonzales described a technical modification to the TIP in 2000, which is called grafting foreskin.

There are characteristics of the glans and urethral plate favoring the development of complications. In this study the researchers include patients with primary hypospadias, with these characteristics above, and compare two surgical techniques: TIP vs FG-TIP.

The main aim is to determine the efficacy (functional and cosmetic) and safety (complications) of TIP vs FG-TIP.

The study design is a randomized clinical trial, double blind (patient and evaluator), parallel groups.

The sample size was calculated comparing two proportions, with a alpha 0.05, beta 0.2; 34 patients per group. The main outcome is complications.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Foreskin Graft-Tubularized Incised PlateExperimentalGroup of patients with primary hypospadias undergoing Foreskin Graft Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty. The surgery involves making an incision on the midline of the urethral plate, graft inner foreskin, and create a new urethra on a urethral catheter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of participants with complications as a measure of safety

    Measured: Fourth month after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of participants with fistula as a measure of safety

    Measured: Fourth month after surgery

  2. Proportion of participants with stricture as a measure of safety

    Measured: Fourth month after surgery

  3. Proportion of participants with breakdown as a measure of safety

    Measured: Fourth month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Foreskin Graft-Tubularized Incised Plate and Tubularized Incised Plate in people with Hypospadias, run by Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Byron A Pacheco Mendoza, MD MsC (+525544378709, byronpachecom@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of participants with complications as a measure of safety (time frame: Fourth month after surgery). 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 NCT02497963, which also lists 5 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2015.
