About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare Early Urinary Continence Recovery After Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy With or Without Posterior Rhabdosphincter Reconstruction.

This is a prospective randomized controlled trail to assess early urinary continence recovery rates after robotic assisted radical prostatectomy when a posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction is performed or not. A hundred forty-six patients with clinically localized and histological confirmed prostate cancer will be enrolled. Continence recovery is defined in the present study as declared urinary continence (absence of incontinence episodes) in the physician interview as no pad use. Continence rates will be explored also by EPIC, ICIQ-SF, IPSS questionnaires 1, 6 and 12 months after the procedure. The sexual function as the secondary objective will be assessed by SHIM questionnaire.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 1st monthNumber of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 1st month

    Absence of urinary incontinence (number of PADs/d)

    Measured: 1 month after surgery

  2. Number of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 6th month

    Absence of urinary incontinence (number of PADs/d)

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. early urinary recovery quantification in Grams (PAD-test 24h)

    PAD-test during the first month after surgery

    Measured: one day before catheter removal, 2 weeks before and 1 month before

  2. Number of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 12th month

    Absence of urinary incontinence (number of PADs/d)

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

  3. Erectile function

    SHIM assessment

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  4. Quality of life I: urinary and bowel function

    EPIC-26 urinary and digestive function

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  5. Quality of life II: urinary function

    ICIQ-SF assessment of urinary function

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  6. Quality of life III: urinary function

    IPSS assessment of urinary function

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  7. Oncological outcome: Biochemical free-recurrence status

    serum PSA assessment. Biochemical free-recurrence status = PSA <0.2

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  8. Anatomopathological parameters: Surgical margins

    Surgery margins in prostatectomy specimens

    Measured: 1 month

  9. Anatomopathological parameters: pTNM classification

    Pathological pTNM in prostatectomy specimens

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radical prostatectomy with posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction and Radical prostatectomy without posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction in people with Urinary Incontinence, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 9 Oct 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 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.

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?

Number of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 1st monthNumber of patients using 0-1 PAD/d (EPIC-26 question_5) at 1st month (time frame: 1 month 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03302169, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
