About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Three-arm, Open Controlled Trial Comparing the Quality of Micturition and the Patient Comfort by Various Urinary Drainage After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP)

The purpose of the study is to determine, whether the postoperative quality of micturition and continence can be improved depending on the urinary drainage catheter and retention after robot assisted radical prostatectomy. Another finding could be the study of the pain assessment of the patient, as well as the pain medication at the various derivatives. Further check whether infections and the presence of bacteriuria can be reduced or avoided by the form of urinary drainage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Urinary leakage measured by pad test in grams

    Measured: within the day 2 or day 5 after the surgery for 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Detection of postoperative pain related to urinary drainage by numeric rating scale (NRS)

    Measured: once a day, first 7 days after the surgery

  2. Recording of complications

    Measured: within the 4 weeks after surgery

  3. Urine status measured by flow cytometry

    Measured: within the day 2 or day 5 after the surgery

  4. Residual urine measured by bladder scan in ml

    Measured: 3 times within the day 2 or day 5 after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing suprapubic tube ex 2 day, suprapubic tube ex 5 day and transurethral catheter ex 5 day in people with Prostate Cancer, run by St. Antonius Hospital Gronau at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 7 Dec 2022. 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 Germany. 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?

Urinary leakage measured by pad test in grams (time frame: within the day 2 or day 5 after the surgery for 24 hours). 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 7 Dec 2022.
