About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pre-transplant programmed bladder cycling for patient with defunctionalized urinary bladder

Read the detailed description

Kidney transplantation still remains the best treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Indeed, increasing numbers of patients are referred for transplantation, but there has been no concomitant increase in the supply of kidneys from the traditional donor pool. Many potential recipients awaiting transplantation, therefore must undergo dialysis for a long time. Regarding the detrimental effect of long-term dialysis associated with oliguria or anuria on the lower urinary tract, and especially in bladder, the interruption of physiological cycle of storage and voiding brings to a situation called Defunctionalized Bladder (DB) in which the bladder capacity became smaller in size. (Errando et al 2018).

In this study we will evaluate the outcome of renal transplantation into a defunctionalized bladder by comparing direct transplantation into this defunctionalized bladder and pre-transplant programmed bladder cycling.

What participants receive

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

  • bladder cyclingProcedure or surgery

    started by the instillation of the sterile water in the bladder in amount equal to the estimated bladder capacity. Then the amount will be gradually increased till the patient can withstand filling the bladder with 250 cc of sterile saline for 2 hours.

Model description
the study main objective is to describe various parameters related to bladder functionality in renal transplanted cases with defunctionalized bladder when treated with pre-transplant bladder cycling and due to limited data available, estimation of sample size will be based on effect size. A sample size of at least 20 cases achieves a power of 80% to detect a large effect size of 0.7 comparing pre- and post- cystometric capacity using paired t-test with level of significance of 0.05.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bladder cycling in people with Bladder Cycling, Defunctionalized Bladder, run by Ain Shams 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 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 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.

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?

measuring bladder size (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT06787092, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Jan 2025.
