About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Monitoring and Mapping During Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for Preservation of Erectile Function

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pelvic autonomic nerve monitoring and mapping during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for preservation of erectile function.

Read the detailed description

Using NIM-Eclipse monitoring instrument (Medtronic), we will check action potential of cavernous nerve, bulbocavernosus reflex and pudendal nerve somatosensory evoked potential in real time during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for preservation of erectile function. In this feasibility and protocol setting phase I/II study, we will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pelvic autonomic nerve monitoring and mapping using NIM-Eclipse monitoring instrument.

What is being measured

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

  1. Completion rate of nerve monitoring and mapping during RALP

    Completion rate of planed surgery without significant intra-operative complication

    Measured: During the operation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse event

    Rate of adverse events during and after procedures upto 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Quantification of erectile nerve preservation

    Changes in action potential after prostate removal from the baseline. Electrical stimulation will be given at each neurovascular bundle 3 times. Action potential will be measured at both corpus cavernosum.

    Measured: During the operation

  3. Correlation between the quantification and subjective nerve preservation grade

    Mean value of the quantification by nerve preservation grade (Tewari et al, 2011) which was subjectively scored by the surgeon.

    Measured: During the operation

  4. Correlation between the quantification of erectile nerve preservation and the postoperative recovery of erectile function

    Recovery duration of erection measured by the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction(IIEF)-5 score according to the quantification of erectile nerve preservation

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NIM-Eclipse in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 15 Feb 2019. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Completion rate of nerve monitoring and mapping during RALP (time frame: During the operation). 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 15 Feb 2019.
