About this study

Official title: Changes in Bladder Function After Surgery and Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to describe the urinary morbidity as a result surgery and radiation therapy, in patients treated for prostate cancer.

All the patients will undergo a Urodynamic examination to verify the grade of Urinary morbidity.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

There is a little knowledge on long-term urinary morbidity in patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and salvage radiotherapy (SRT). Both treatments are potentially curative for localized prostate cancer (PC). Improved long-term survival makes the awareness of late effects from radiotherapy important.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to access, late urinary morbidity in patients treated with SRT. The patients included in this study will have an urodynamic examination. The results from the urodynamic examination will help us with a better understanding of the different symptoms and their grade, after treatment with RP and SRT because of PC.

Materials and methods:

A total of 67 patients will be invited to participate in this urodynamic study. The patients will undergo a urodynamic examination, included biomechanical examination of urethra. The examination is a standard procedure at the department of Urology, Aarhus University hospital, Denmark.

The patients will, in relation to the urodynamics, have taken two blood samples. The blood samples, will later on, be used to detect some of the genetic reasons for morbidity after radiotherapy.

Endpoint:

The primary endpoint is the outcome of different parameters as a result of the urodynamic examination.

Perspective:

The perspective of this study is to help understanding the efficacy og morbidity of salvage radiotherapy. The investigators hope to get a better understanding of the mechanisms related to urinary morbidity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Spontaneous urinary flow

    The patients load the water at a special flow toilet

    Measured: 2 minutes

  2. Biomechanical properties of urethra

    Evaluation of biomechanical wall properties by measuring luminal cross-sectional area and pressure.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Cystometri

    The bladder is filled with saline with a flow rate of 60 mL/minute.

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Uretal pressure profile

    To evaluate the uretal pressure profile. The water pump perfused saline at a flow rate of 1 mL, while the catheter. attached to an automatic pulling device, was pulled out of the urethra at 2 mm/s.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University of Aarhus.

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 1 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 5 Nov 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 Maria Ervandian, MD (004523392309, mservandian@ki.au.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Spontaneous urinary flow (time frame: 2 minutes). The study lists 4 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2015.
