About this study
Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Early Return of Urinary Continence Utilizing a Novel Hybrid Transvesical Adapted Retzius Sparing Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Technique
The goal of this a single arm prospective study is to evaluating the 3-month return of urinary continence outcomes of patients undergoing the transvesical retzius sparing robotic radical prostatectomy (TRS-RALP) for standard of care surgical prostate removal for treatment of prostate cancer.
The main question it aims: To have patients respond to questionnaires to collect exploratory data on patient's quality of life (QoL; EuroQol-5 Dimension 5-Level [EQ-5D-5L] and prostate cancer related urinary, bowel, and sexual function questionnaires (Expanded Prostate cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP), at their standard of care perioperative visits at baseline and at 4 weeks, 3- and 6-months post operatively.
Read the detailed description
Patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy will have their surgery performed utilizing TRS-RALP technique, which is a novel combination of two previously described techniques. This technique is a recent alteration to our standard of care method of prostate removal, and comprises two halves of two previously validated techniques performed in succession. No new safety signals are anticipated, and the technique has been in use since May 2023. The purpose of this technique change is to improve the rate of return urinary continence, which early institutional experience supports. This trial protocol has been generated to formally evaluate this continence return improvement inside a statistical framework for prospective verification in our entire patient cohort.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
EQ-5D-5L #1.1
The EuroQol - 5 Dimension - 5 Level is a questionnaire that provides a descriptive profile for health status. The questionnaire is comprised of 5 dimension questions; mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression. For each dimension, the patient is asked to check off a level associated; no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems. Each result is a 1-digit number expressing the level of that dimension. The final result is a 5 digit number describing the patient's health state. The digits range from 1 (best health - best possible outcome) to 5 (worst health - worst possible outcome).
The final question asks the patient to check their current health status. This ranges from 100 (best health you can imagine - best outcome) to 0 (worst health you can imagine - worst outcome).
Measured: Pperioperative baseline

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 8 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 18 Apr 2025. 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 Canada. 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?
EQ-5D-5L #1.1 (time frame: Pperioperative baseline). The study lists 8 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 18 Apr 2025.
