What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness

    Percentage of patients who are regarded as cured or improved one-year after surgery with both techniques based on the following criteria:

    • CURED: negative cough stress test and patient must be fully satisfied with the operation (no leaks, no voiding dysfunction, and no use of urinary protection); Patient Global Impresison of Improvement (PGI-I) scale must be "Very much better".
    • IMPROVED: cough stress test had to be negative and the patient moderately satisfied with the result of surgery due to an increase in urinary frequency and/or sporadic urgency episodes; PGI-I must be "Much better" or "A little better".

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Comparison of the intra- and postoperative complications between both procedures.

    Measured: Up to one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PVDF transobturator tape and Polypropylene transobturator tape in people with Urinary Stress Incontinence, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute at 9 sites in Spain.

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 4 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 26 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Spain. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Effectiveness (time frame: One year). 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 26 Jul 2019.
