About this study

We will design a randomized controlled single center study in which we will compare 2 groups of patients, 1 with standard perioperative protocols and another one in which we will apply fast track protocols in patients after radical cystectomy and urinary diversion .

Read the detailed description

Study hypothesis:

Fast Track Protocol after Radical Cystectomy reduces the length of hospital stay and the early postoperative complications relative to the traditional perioperative care regimen.

Purpose of the study:

  1. To evaluate the the perioperative efficacy, safety and benefits of fast track protocol implementation after radical cystectomy and to optimize perioperative patient care for the benefit of "fast-track" surgery.
  2. To evaluate early complications in patients with bladder cancer who will be subjected to radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.

Study groups:

Group 1: Fast Track group (105 patients). Group 2: Conventional perioperative care group (105 patients).

Study design:

The design of the research will be a prospective randomised, open-label, controlled study on 210 consecutive patients with bladder cancer who will be subjected to radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. All the patients will sign an informed consent. Length of stay, dietary issues, and return of bowel function, readmission rates and complications will be evaluated.

Study setting/location:

The study will be conducted in a single tertiary centre, Urology and Nephrology Centre in Mansoura, Egypt. The study will be carried out on patient with bladder cancer who will be subjected to radical cystectomy and urinary diversion.

Study duration:

The study will last about 2 and half years.

Randomisation:

Randomization will be performed using computer generated, sequentially numbered random tables. Ratio of assignment to groups is 1: 1.

Allocation concealment and blinding:

We are well aware that it is very difficult to properly blind trials comparing surgical treatments. Allocation of patients to treatment groups will be self-evident following randomization and blinding of patient groups and observers will not be possible. So, our trial will be a randomised, open-label, controlled trial.

Type of analysis:

Intention-to-treat analysis is planned in this trial. We will include all patients randomized to the fast track group regardless of their adherence and compliance to the early recovery after surgery (ERAS) items.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of hospital stay.

    Mean length of hospital stay defined as days from admission to the hospital, in both groups 1 day before surgery and discharge.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Early postoperative complications rate defined and graded according to Clavien-Dindo system.

    Rate of early postoperative complications eg: anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction, wound infection.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery.

  2. Hospital readmission rate.

    Measured: 3 months after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fast Track Protocol in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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 25 Jun 2021. 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 Egypt. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Length of hospital stay. (time frame: 3 months after surgery.). 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 25 Jun 2021.
