About this study
Official title: Comparative Evaluation of New Surgical Robotic Platforms for the Radical Prostatectomy Procedure
The object of this exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate post-operative complications in a population that underwent Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) made with multiple platforms:
- DaVinci;
- Hugo;
- Versius.
The questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the estimation of the post-operative complications suggest something?
- Are differences (intra-operative, post-operative, oncological, functional, technical, and economic) among the three intervention approaches observable?
Participants will be invited to fill out questionnaires and join one of these three groups:
- surgery with the daVinci platform;
- surgery with the Hugo platform;
- surgery with the Versius platform.
- Conditions
- Prostate Cancer
- Being tested
- DaVinci RARP, Hugo RARP, Versius RARP
- Keywords
- Robotic-assisted surgery, Prostatectomy, Multiple surgical platforms, Postoperative complications, Operative outcomes
- Medical subject headings
- Prostatic Neoplasms, Postoperative Complications

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants with postoperative complications
Overall postoperative complications (% score >0) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication
Measured: Over the 4 days post surgery
Number of participants with moderate to major postoperative complications
Moderate to major complications (% score >=2) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication
Measured: Over the 4 days post surgery
Number of participants with major postoperative complications
Major complications (% score >=3) are considered by Clavien-Dindo Classification 7 grades (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb and V): the higher the grade, the higher the severity of the complication

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing DaVinci RARP, Hugo RARP and Versius RARP in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata Verona at 1 site in Italy.
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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. 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 Italy. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Alessandro AA Antonelli (+39 0458127701, alessandro.antonelli@aovr.veneto.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with postoperative complications (time frame: Over the 4 days post surgery). The study lists 3 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 12 Apr 2023.
