About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Urethral Drug Balloon Catheter in the Treatment of Urethral Stricture

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of urethral drug balloon catheter in the treatment of urethral stricture.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, and superiority study. The two groups were randomly selected into a total of 150 subjects (75 in the test group and 75 in the control group) according to 1:1. The test group was treated with urethral drug balloon catheter from Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co.,Ltd., while the control group was treated with direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU).

All subjects were followed up at 1, 3 and 6 months post-procedure, and the efficacy of urethral drug balloon catheter will be evaluated with the success rate of operation at 6 months as the main end point. Observe the occurrence of complications and other indicators to make a reliable evaluation of the safety of urethral drug balloon catheter.

What participants receive

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

  • Drug balloon dilatationProcedure or surgery

    The Drug balloon is covered with paclitaxel coating that diffuses the drug into the urethral wall when dilated

  • Direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU)Procedure or surgery

    A control subject will choose DVIU surgery until the desired effect is achieved

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedural success

    no reoperation or instrument intervention is required, and 16F bladder flexible mirror or 16F catheter can pass through the stenosis

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6months

  2. Change in the Quality of life index score (QOL)

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6months

  3. Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax)

    Measured: 1 and 6 months post-procedure

  4. Residual urine volume (PVR)

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  5. Postoperative complications

    bleeding, false passage formation, rectal injury, infection, etc

    Measured: 1,3,6 months post-procedure

  6. Number of re-interventions after operation

    Measured: 1, 3, 6 months post-procedure
