About this study

Official title: Optimal Duration Between Drainage for Obstructing Renal or Ureteral Stones Associated With Infection and Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study will be conducted to compare early (seven days) versus delayed (14-21 days) definitive ureteroscopic lithotripsy after initial drainage for obstructing ureteral or renal stones associated with infection.

Read the detailed description

All the study participants will be monitored during the early post-operative period for post-operative pain and complications. The rate and grade of reported complications will be determined according to modified Dindo-Clavian grading system. After ensuring safe status for discharge, all patients will be reassessed at the outpatient department after 4 weeks by NCCT to assess stone free status.

What participants receive

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

  • Early ureteroscopyProcedure or surgery

    Patients will be managed by ureteroscopic lithotripsy 7 days after drainage.

  • Delayed UreteroscopyProcedure or surgery

    Patients will be managed by ureteroscopic lithotripsy 14-21 days after drainage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of postoperative infectious complications in treatment groups

    Difference in post-URS infectious complications between the study groups. infectious complications are defined as presence of urinary tract infection with one of the following findings: - Body temperature more than 38.3C or below 36C. - Tachycardia (>90/minute). - Respiratory rate more than 20/minute. - Disturbed mental status. - Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg \& mean arterial pressure < 70 mmHg or systolic blood pressure decrease < 40 mmHg. - WBC >12,000 or <4,000.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early ureteroscopy and Delayed Ureteroscopy in people with Ureter Stone and Renal Stone, 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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Percentage of postoperative infectious complications in treatment groups (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT06101563, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
