About this study

Official title: An Open Prospective Clinical Study on Safety and Efficacy of Surgical Treatment of Patients With Anterior Urethral Stricture Using a Tissue-engineered Construct Based on Autologous Buccal Mucosa Cells and Matrix From Reconstituted Collagen and Reinforcing Polylactoglycolide Fibers

This study investigates safety and efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with anterior urethral stricture using a tissue-engineered construct based on autologous buccal mucosa cells and matrix from reconstituted collagen and reinforcing polylactoglycolide fibers. This is a single arm study with no control. Success will be assessed via objective and subjective methods; complications will be tallied in a standardized fashion. Outcomes will be measured at five years.

Read the detailed description

Treatment of urethral strictures longer than 2 cm is an actual clinical challenge. In this case, the common method is replacement surgery using a buccal mucosa graft. However, the main disadvantage of this method is associated with limited donor resources and donor site morbidity.

The aim of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with anterior urethral stricture using a tissue-engineered construct. The construct consists of autologous buccal mucosa cells and matrix from reconstituted collagen and reinforcing polylactoglycolide fibers. Patients will be followed up for 5 years within this study. The follow-up regimen includes retrograde and pericatheter urethrography, voiding cystourethrography, uroflowmetry, biopsy, and quality of life monitoring. Telephone follow-up will take place in between these assessments.

The data obtained from this study will have practical implications for the urethral stricture treatment and will be based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Urethroplasty with a tissue-engineered constructProcedure or surgery

    The investigators will perform urethroplasty with the tissue-engineered construct - epithelial cells isolated from patient's buccal mucosa and seeded on a collagen-polylactoglycolide matrix.

Study groups in NCT03205670
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Urethroplasty with a tissue-engineered constructExperimentalThe investigators will take a sample of the buccal mucosa to isolate epithelial cells. Autologous cells will be seeded on a hybrid matrix. Urethroplasty with this tissue-engineered construct will be performed. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients will undergo the surgical operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serious adverse events

    Frequency, type and severity of serious adverse events (SAE)

    Measured: 4 weeks after surgery

  2. Serious adverse reactions

    Frequency, type and severity of serious adverse reactions (SAR)

    Measured: 4 weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Retrograde urethrography

    Influence of the surgery on the urethral lumen

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Voiding cystourethrography

    Full assessment of the urethral lumen after the surgery

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Pericatheter urethrography

    Assessment of absence or presence of contrast medium leakage outside the urethra

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Urethroplasty with a tissue-engineered construct in people with Urethral Stricture, run by I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University at 1 site in Russia.

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 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2020. 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 Russia. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

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?

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?

Serious adverse events (time frame: 4 weeks after surgery). The study lists 2 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 17 Feb 2020.
