About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Two Types of Suburethral Slings for the Surgical Treatment of Female Stress Incontinence : TVT and TVT-O.

The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and morbidity following the placement of two types of suburethral slings in women presenting with stress urinary incontinence: TVT and TVT-O.

Read the detailed description

Urinary stress incontinence (USI) is a frequent pathology in women. Surgical treatment is required in 30 to 50% of women presenting with USI. Several surgical techniques are currently available.

At the present time, the placement of suburethral slings is one of the most efficient techniques. Furthermore, the placement of a suburethral sling is known to be associated with a low rate of complications.

Currently, two approaches are available for the placement of a suburethral sling: retropubic approach (TVT) and trans-obturator approach (TVT-O). The efficacy of these two approaches seem equivalents. However, the morbidity related to these two techniques is probably different. In retrospective studies, the retropubic approach is associated with a higher rate of bladder perforation. On the other hand, the trans-obturator approach is supposed to be associated with a higher rate of post-operative pain.

Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and morbidity following the placement of two types of suburethral slings in women presenting with stress urinary incontinence: TVT and TVT-O.

What is being measured

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

  1. pre operative complication: rate of bladder perforation

  2. post operative complication: rate of post-operative pain

Secondary outcomes (2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing surgical placement of a suburethral sling tvt or tvt-o in people with Urinary Incontinence, Stress, run by Hopital Antoine Beclere at 14 sites in France.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

pre operative complication: rate of bladder perforation. The study lists 2 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 30 Apr 2007.
